An ELDER CARE Attorney they said. You need an ELDER CARE Attorney. Even our 'family' lawyer of decades weighed in on the need. Law scares me, lawyers intimidate me, government agencies create anxiety, and a demented, 93 year old, deaf and also frightened mother in need of care I cannot provide was defeating me. But, I took referrals from within our community; persons I have known professionally and personally (business persons, clergy, caregiving agencies, neighbors and other users) for many years, did due diligence, and found a firm that was on the tip of 99% of the tongues of the folk I consulted.
It was, by far, more helpful, calming and direct an experience than I anticipated. Calling R. THOMAS MURPHY & ASSOCIATES, PC (CHAMBERSBURG and WAYNESBORO in FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA) diffused much of my anticipated dread. My first encounter was with the positive, competent and engaging KATHY. She listened to my somewhat breathless narrative, asked a few relevant questions and made her recommendation of one of the attorneys in the firm. The short road to a consultation with JARED CHILDERS, Attorney-at-Law, was paved with very helpful and equally engaging supportive staff, JOSEPH and, subsequently, SALLY. I was met, via phone and front desk reception in graceful offices in the center of downtown Chambersburg, with courtesy, professional demeanor, patience and an openness that gave me the courage and comfort I needed at a troubling time.
Mr. Childers, when the consultancy took place, was thorough, thoughtful, firm, very clear and articulate in his assessment and conclusive advice. Humor and kindness, as well as competency are my three descriptors of my first experience with this firm. I can, with confidence and a much lighter step, HIGHLY RECOMMEND exploring a relationship with this firm. It is a speciality and they are thoroughly well-versed in their niche. Call them please! It was invaluable for bewildered me and, ultimately, for my mother.
