Practice Areas

Elder Law

Compassionate Elder Law and Estate Planning Lawyers.

We at Krisa Law believe the right solution to your estate planning, elder law or probate, needs can be identified in consultation with our attorneys. We can think of no better way to express our core value of providing wise and compassionate counsel.

Wills & Estates

We prepare all types of Wills and Trusts. When a person dies in Pennsylvania without a valid Last Will and Testament, the Commonwealth provides a series of laws that govern who may be in charge of the Decedent’s affairs; who stands to inherit; and how the Estate is to be administered. Proper estate planning can protect against such a result.

Workers' Compensation

Krisa Law represents people who have suffered all types of work-related injuries on the job. People are often injured on the job due to circumstances that are beyond their control. Pennsylvania has provisions in place to assist workers who have been injured on the job. This includes compensation for lost wages and medical care.

Social Security/Disability

Social Security disability (SSD) is a part of the Federal Social Security Act. It provides disability payments and other benefits for those who are disabled and can’t work and their families. Benefits are often referred to as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits and can include cash payments and medical coverage.

Real Estate

Whether you are buying or selling commercial or residential real estate, you should have an attorney on your side who knows real estate law and can make sure no one is taking advantage of you.

Personal Injury

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury because of the negligent acts of another, then you need to act immediately to preserve your case. While immediate medical treatment and therapy is crucial to recovery, it is important to make time to understand the financial and legal consequences of the accident.

Criminal Defense

If you or a loved one is reading this page you are looking for help for a serious, life changing problem. An arrest or investigation has begun or perhaps you have already been charged or worse have been incarcerated.

Testimonials

"In a moment, my life became very complicated. A close member of my family was involved in a criminal matter, an insurance claim, a social security issue, health problems and the need for skilled nursing. It was a mess. The Krisa firm and their associates disposed of them all to our satisfaction with personal attention. They went out of their way to service us."

"Through no fault of my own at a very young age, I was dealt a severe, permanent, painful injury. The Krisa Law Firm ushered me through the social security process. They associated with top notch out of state counsel that ultimately resulted in a record verdict that insures my financial security for life. Throughout the process the Krisa firm remained available and involved with my family and me. I now have a husband, child and productive calling in helping others who were and are in my position."

"Estate and Elder Law planning is not just for the wealthy. When my parents passed away Michael patiently and efficiently settled their estate. Being a young married retiree I realized it was time to get my affairs in order. With his help my husband and I did."
