Outstanding lawyer

I have known Pat Scraff for 40 years. During that time, she has helped me and several family members with wills, trusts and end of life planning. She is an excellent speaker on the topic of elder law and gives speeches throughout the state on that topic. In addition to her law degree, she also has... a Masters in Social Worker. This helps her be an empathetic lawyer and helps her communicate well with her clients. She has been active on many boards through the years, as well as giving back to the community in the form of pro bono work, including being appointed guardian for indigent clients. I would highly recommend Patricia Schraff to anyone who is doing estate planning or related issues involving the elderly.
