Testimonials

“In June of 2016 our friend had a stroke and was in the hospital for 5 ½ months because there was no one to make decisions for her. She has no family and had no power of attorney. We wanted to help her but didn’t know where to begin. Someone recommended that we contact William Erhart, Estate & Elder Law Services. Mr. Erhart and his associates walked us through the guardianship and Medicaid process. As a result our friend is comfortably settled in a nursing home. We appreciate so much the work that Mr. Erhart and his associates did for us. They were professional and efficient but also warm, friendly, and approachable. We highly recommend them to anyone who needs the services of a very competent and helpful law firm.” – Gayle R.
“The Medicaid application and VA Pension process was a new experience to me, never believing that I would have to do this for a family member. Through the exceptional service, care and experience that Mr. Erhart ‘s team including Elizabeth and the supporting staff provided, the process went extremely smooth and efficient. The communication from the E & EL team was perfect, always providing me clear instructions on next steps, including due dates, deliverables and direction. I always knew what was happening, what to expect next and what to have prepared for the next step.” – Marty F.
