My husband, John, and I were facing a complicated and difficult situation when my mother-in-law had to enter a nursing home after falling and hitting her head. We contacted three other elder law attorneys for help and even paid a consultation fee to one for an hour of no help whatsoever. All three basically told us we had no chance for a positive outcome. Once I realized the attorney I was quoting from my internet research about our elder law issue was Bob Gerhard III, I contacted him and explained exactly what we had told the previous attorneys. He didn't make us any unrealistic promises, but gave us the cautious optimism to proceed. We didn't have a "text book" situation, but Bob Gerhard explained everything necessary for us to have a successful outcome. He and Aimee handled our case professionally and patiently. We highly recommend the Elder Law Offices of Gerhard & Gerhard for anything pertaining to the complex elder laws of PA. Don't bother with anyone else, he's the expert!
Bob Gerhard III, Esquire, is a dedicated, knowledgeable, caring, and thorough attorney. He has been extremely helpful with his expertise, recommendations, execution of documents reflecting my wishes/our discussions. nnHonest and trustworthy are just two qualities Bob displays on an ongoing basis. Bob is quite responsive always putting the person and their needs first. He has guided my estate planning for over twenty years. nnBob's core values of respect, providing the best service, interacting with dignity and understanding, and listening with compassion make working with him rewarding, beneficial, and satisfying in every way. He is efficient, effective, and organized. nnI highly recommend Bob Gerhard III, Esquire, as he is both an attorney with expert skill and knowledge and a person with deep integrity!
My father had used Bob Gerhard's services over a number of years related to several different legal issues including his will. My first contact with Bob and Aimee was immediately after my fathers death. For almost two years they helped us work through all the legal issues related to handling an estate. They were knowledgeable, professional, and always able to answer questions. I live more than 250 miles away from Jenkintown, but the distance was never an obstacle. Much of the work was done by email, but I knew that I could always call Bob if necessary. Throughout the entire two years, their only concern was helping my brother and me. I would recommend Gerhard and Gerhard without reservation to ANYONE.
"Your Mother will not be going home. She now needs 24-7 care!"nnThese are among the saddest words a family can hear--Gone is Mom sitting in her favorite chair commenting on TV news, reliving the holidays of her youth, recalling favorite family recipes.Your heart stops; but once it starts again, you realize that you need professional help and Bob Gerhard of Gerhard and Gerhard Elder Lawyers and Estate Planning in Jenkintown is there to answer your call. Negotiating the legal world of Elder Care is not for the faint of heart, but Bob guided us through with compassion sprinkled with the hard facts governing Elder Care. He listened quietly and clearly advised and was able to achieve for us a successful outcome. He made a stressful time manageable and we are grateful for his care and guidance. If you have need for Estate Planning or Elder Care advice, do not hesitate to call Bob Gerhard. Our family highly recommends him.
I contacted Bob for my mom's entry into a rest home. This was a family decision and it was not an easy one. I had many reccomandatipns from friends and another lawyer to contact Bob to handle the paperwork for getting mom on medicade, as this is a very involved and precise process. Having Bob handle that process was the best decision I made. My brother and sister and I were nervous and worried about the entry process for medicade as mom's entry into the rest home was dependent on it. Bob and Aimee made us feel like we were dealing with a member of our own family, they were very patient with all of our many questions and handled the whole process from beginning to end seamlessly. I could not recommend any other elder lawyer. My mom now has round the clock care in a wonderful home that Bob Gerhard recommended. My brother and sister and I are very glad that we had Bob on our team.
