Contact our office in Media to learn how we can craft estate plan solutions that can protect your interests and achieve your goals in Philadelphia and southeast Pennsylvania.

A sound estate plan usually reflects broad-based legal advice

Your estate planning attorney should be ready to address questions and provide answers that reach across a range of legal areas: probate law, business law, family law, disability law, tax law and real property law. With more than 60 years of legal experience between them, Bernard Berman and Stephen Asbel combine a familiarity with the legal considerations that will affect your decisions with an ability to clarify your priorities and choices.

Our firm's clients appreciate our ability to help them understand their options, balance competing interests and priorities, anticipate and avoid problems, and express their decisions in clear terms.

As trial lawyers, we have the litigation experience that can back up our estate plans if a will contest or guardianship dispute ends up in court.

We also protect our clients through skilled counsel in SSDI and SSI claims

While our estate planning practice helps our clients address long-term goals, our Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) practice helps them overcome immediate problems when an injury or chronic illness interrupts their income. Our success rate in SSDI cases is about 95 percent. We also show clients with long-term disabilities how they can collect monthly benefits through the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.

Our attorneys can answer your questions and find the right legal tools to achieve your goals, whether it will involve an SSDI administrative hearing or an estate tax credit bypass trust.
