Pamela Schatten

Pamela Schatten has practiced wills, trusts and estates for 20 years, learning the work beside her father, A. Jeffrey Barash, a Super Lawyer with roughly forty years in the field. She prepares estate planning documents, represents guardians appointed by the court in guardianship proceedings, and administers trusts and estates. Her father has recently retired, and she now practices as a sole practitioner, handling every matter the firm accepts from the first call through the last signature.

Guardianship is at the center of her work. Families come to her when a parent with dementia or Alzheimer's disease can no longer manage alone, or when a child with a developmental disability is approaching adulthood. She also continues to handle family law matters for South Florida families.

She is AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, the highest peer review rating the publication issues, based on confidential evaluations by other lawyers and judges of legal ability and ethical standards.

Her office is close to home by design. After years of watching a practice run on ninety-minute commutes each way, she built one where the time saved goes into client files instead of traffic. Clients notice it in how quickly calls come back.
