Robert C. Gerhard, Iii Elder Law Attorney

My family counted on Robert Gerhard through the difficult twists and turns of elder law. He and Ms Powell returned calls quickly and answered questions and concerns in a way that was complete and clear. With their expertise and advice, we were in good hands and had more time and energy to focus on caring for our loved one.

Aimee and Bob at Gerhard and Gerhard are truly exceptional attorneys. Around 15 years ago, they helped my in-laws plan and navigate a move to an assisted living facility: medicaid planning/elder care/estate planning. Bob and Aimee made it easy for my in-laws to understand, protected their assets, saved them so much money, and secured their future as they addressed their specific needs. My father-in-law now says working with Bob was the best thing he has done. Last week Bob and Aimee finished preparing estate planning documents for my husband and myself. They made the process easy for us with their patience, professionalism, expert knowledge and experience, attention to detail. They helped us clarify our intentions and provided clear explanations to ensure the documents were customized to reflect our wishes. It was easy to arrange meetings via Zoom or in-person to fit our schedules. Never rushed. Fees were extremely reasonable and worth every penny. Bob made sure our planning would meet our present needs and address future concerns. It is wonderful to work with kind, trustworthy people of integrity and expertise for such important life planning. Bob and Aimee even prepared power of attorney documents for our daughter right away before she had to go out-of-town. It is a relief to have the planning finished, and we have tremendous peace-of-mind knowing that Bob and Aimee took care of our family. We have profound gratitude for their guidance and care!!!

I found Bob Gerhard after 2 years of trying to piece together what I needed to do from what others told me. Though people's hearts were in the right place, they were usually wrong about the info they gave me about getting my mother into and paying for a nursing home. Once I had my first meeting with Bob, I instantly felt better. I finally found someone who was knowledgeable about my issue and would actually help. From that point on, Bob walked me through every step while being patient and understanding. He was always honest about issues and always had a plan to deal with it. Now that the process is complete, I would recommend Bob Gerhard for any elder care issues. Knowing what I now know, I would not have wanted to do it without him and I would have saved alot of time and stress by working with Bob earlier in the process. Finally, the fees were reasonable especially given the extensive work that was necessary. Talk to Bob Gerhard first and save yourself a lot of needless stress and worry.

I have had the pleasure of working with Bob Gerhard for the past 3 years in managing my parents' elder care and estate planning needs. Besides being an outstanding attorney, Bob is a great human being and over this time we developed a mutual friendship. Not only does he care about providing you with the best legal advice, but he also cares about you and your family, and the best care you can provide your parents. I can't thank him enough for his kind and thoughtful counsel, strategy and overall approach to best managing my Dad’s and Mom’s elder care needs, including asset protection from nursing homes and Medicaid planning, as well as estate planning needs. We could not have achieved the excellent results we did without Bob’s keen insights, helpful guidance and expert legal advice. He knows this area of law so well that he can easily customize a strategy that best fits your family's circumstances, optimizing the outcome by avoiding pitfalls and protecting assets. In addition, he was always there to answer questions and provide his experienced insights in related matters such as best nursing homes in the area, selling of the family home, along with other resources needed to manage my parents' affairs. And for all his outstanding advice, Bob's fees are quite reasonable. He often did not charge for short calls and other items. The money we spent for Bob's expert counsel was paid back many times over in the assets he protected and taxes saved. Despite my parents having a relatively small estate, through his advice we were able to retain most of it for the heirs. I like to avoid being 'penny-wise and pound-foolish' and I certainly did just that by retaining Bob's services. If you have elder law and/or estate planning needs, do yourself a favor and give Bob a call. You will be happy you did. You will not find a better attorney to assist you in these elder law matters.

I highly recommend Gerhard and Gerhard for your elder law needs! My mother passed away suddenly and without a will during the height of the pandemic. Navigating the probate process appeared daunting. Bob and Aimee were nothing short of STELLAR in helping me work through the estate administration process. They were informative, efficient, responsive, friendly, trustworthy, and reasonable with pricing. Gerhard and Gerhard provided me complete peace of mind throughout the entire estate admin and closure process. I would engage them again without hesitation if I ever found myself in a similar situation again.
