{My sister and I have had a great experience working with this firm in administering our fathers estate.  Jared Childers walked us through the process and Barb Henicle has been particularly helpful in handling all of the administrative paperwork required. She has been terrific! I highly recommend this firm.

{I highly recommend Jared Childers and Susan Barlup for all eldercare legal advice and issues. Eldercare is a complicated and emotional process, and Jared and Susan have been invaluable in guiding us through this process to ensure that our Mom and Dad were cared for in a loving way. Jared and Susan helped set up wills, powers of attorney, and medical directives for Mom and Dad about 10 years ago, and did so in a very professional way given my Mom's uneasiness about death. In later years, Jared and Susan helped on the financial and property side, enabling us to protect assets for our parents' care and for our family's peace-of-mind. Jared is an incredibly calm, caring, and level-headed expert on eldercare legal issues. His care and concern was evident, as his first question to me when I frantically called looking for answers, was always "How are Mom and Dad?" He understands the emotional part of eldercare as well as the legal part of eldercare. Susan is also extremely helpful and ensures that everything is in order, and is always available when Jared was busy with other clients. Susan is detail-oriented and a whirlwind of activity, making sure that all clients get questions answered as soon as possible. In sum, Jared and Susan have been an immense help to my sister Natalie and I in navigating eldercare.

{This law firm is outstanding in all ways! We refer people to this practice all the time! They are all so very helpful and dedicated to each client. Barb Stefanic and Barb Henicle are two terrific staff. Everyone at the Waynesboro office are excellent in communicating and helping clients. We could never have done our Dad's estate without them and they continue to serve and help guide us through the process of his estate and continue to take care of the paperwork for his wife who is in a nursing home. We are so grateful and thankful for them and their service. They have been a God-send! We have had our wills renewed through them and intend to do all future legal work through them. They certainly know what they are doing and we have utmost trust in each one. Mr. Murphy is a dedicated attorney who goes far above for his clients. May the Lord bless this practice and each one who is employed there. We just can't say enough good about them!! Thank you!

{Tom and his staff have been assisting our family for many years — two generations, in fact. His wonderful assistant, Tammy Hodder, has always been a terrific help as well. We recommend their elder law legal services and advice to folks looking for quality, no nonsense legal counsel.
