Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
I highly recommend Cherewka Law for nonprofits who are tired of dealing with legal concerns. After trying to handle them myself for awhile, it felt like Morgan Cassel lifted a huge weight off my back as she calmly reassured me at my first consultation that she’d take care of everything for me. Since then, Morgan has promptly completed every task I’ve given her and allowed me to bug her with questions whenever I want. I wish I would have called sooner.

Scalles Restaurant
We used Cherewka Law for our estate planning. Nick and their team made the process very easy for us. It was something we put off for way too long, for nothing. The process to complete was much easier than anticipated. Everyone was very professional and helpful in asking us the questions to tailor our wills accordingly. It is not cookie cutter, which is important. Very highly recommend.

We have been working with Dominic Montagnese since 2020. He is kind and professional and along with his staff has been utmost kind & professional, knowledgeable and putting things clearly for us in context of our aims. Also due to our limited mobility and because we are elderly, they have reached out to help us, without hesitation, in many ways throughout this unique pandemic situation so that we felt comfortable and safe getting things done. We really couldn’t have found a better firm to help us. Thank you Nick.

The Five Most Important Legal Documents
All Americans who wish to protect their families and themselves must have an estate plan. Making sound decisions regarding finances and healthcare can become challenging as you age due to diminished mental capacity or declining health.
Conservatorships Are Avoided With Durable Powers of Attorney
Legal guardianship over an adult is known as a conservatorship. Decisions and actions can be made on behalf of another (or several people). The conservator is the person(s) with the power to make decisions, and the conservatee is the adult who needs help with their financial, health care, living arrangements, and daily affairs due to old age, physical or mental limitations. Some conservatorships are broader than others. For example, some conservators may only have authority over financial decisions, not medical ones.
Benefits and Long-Term Care Planning for Veterans
Are veteran Department of Veterans Affairs benefits may be used to help cover the costs of long-term care? The answer is, as with most governmental things, complicated. A much-underused pension benefit known as Aid and Attendance can provide some money to cover costs for assistance performing everyday tasks. Aid and Attendance benefits may even be available to veterans with incomes above the eligibility limit if they have a large enough medical expense(s) for which they receive no reimbursement.

Understanding Revocable Trusts
This was a question we received from a client: A revocable trust created by my brother left money to my children – but they could only use that money if they went to Tanzania to see elephants. Why can’t my kids put that money toward something they could use, like paying off their mortgages? The trustee says she has no choice, and she has to follow my brother’s instructions.
