My family was very fortunate to work with Colleen Bratovich, Esquire. Collen and her team (Heather and Renee) are very caring, extremely competent and professional. They worked very closely with my family and tailored their services to provide excellent representation for my elderly parents. By reorganizing my parent's finances and legal documents, Zacharia Brown, PC made it possible for my 91 year old father to fulfill his strongest desire and remain at home with my mom, married 65 years, November 17, 1956. Because of Collen's guidance, my parent are now able to afford the in-home care my dad needs. It would have been impossible for us to manage all the extremely complicated details of estate planning without their expertise. My family is sincerely grateful, and we cannot thank all three of them enough.

After my mother fell and broke her hip, she was admitted to a nursing home to recover. I needed an attorney to help protect my mother's assets for Medicaid purposes. I immediately contacted Colleen Bratkovich. I attended a seminar on Medicaid planning by Colleen and was impressed with what I heard. Colleen has been such a great support and has taken care of all my mother's finances. She clearly explained what was required and what I needed to do to move forward with our plan. Colleen has always been prompt with responses and has taken the time to answer and explain what we were doing with my mother's assets and why. Since my mother entered a nursing home Colleen took care of all that was necessary to protect my mother's assets. She is wonderful to work with plus really has a genuine concern for her clients.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Colleen Bratkovich and MaryJo McBride at Zacharia Brown, and I was extremely impressed with their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to their clients.
From the moment we first spoke with Colleen, I could tell that she was deeply knowledgeable about elder law and highly experienced in her field. She took the time to fully understand my family's situation and provided insightful guidance on the best course of action. Throughout the entire process, Colleen and Mary Jo were always responsive and easy to communicate with. In addition to her legal expertise, Colleen is also a compassionate and caring individual. She always put our needs first and went above and beyond to ensure that we were fully satisfied with their services. I never felt like I was just another client to her.
Overall, I would highly recommend Colleen Bratkovich to anyone in need of elder law. She is an exceptional attorney and a true professional in every sense of the word. Thank you, Colleen and Mary Jo, for your amazing work!

I highly recommend the Zacharia Brown Elder Law Firm. I had been working with another elder care attorney in regards to trying to obtain VA Benefits for my ill mother, but was not having much success. I was not getting any follow-up communication from them or help in correcting the mistake they had made in setting up my mom's trust 3 years ago. I decided to reach out to Zacharia Brown for help and was paired up with attorney Colleen Bratkovich. Colleen was an absolute pleasure to work work and is very knowledgable in her field! She explained the VA Benefits process to me and helped determine when my mom would be eligible for benefits. She took the stress off of me by completing and submitting all of the necessary documents for me in a timely manner, and kept me updated on her progress along the way. I wish I had reached out to Zacharia Brown sooner for help. I will definitely be using them for any future family or estate matters.
