Entrusted Legacy Law founding attorney Ashley Sharek, Esq., has earned the prestigious Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) designation from the National Elder Law Foundation. This elite, ABA-approved credential validates Sharek’s specialized competence in navigating complex elder law and estate planning matters for families across Pennsylvania.
— Entrusted Legacy Law announced today that its founding attorney, Ashley Sharek, Esq., has successfully completed the Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) examination, earning official certification from the National Elder Law Foundation (NELF). Sharek, whose practice serves families across Greater Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia Main Line, and Erie, joins an elite group of practitioners nationwide to hold this credential, which is the only elder law certification approved by the American Bar Association (ABA).
The CELA designation is widely recognized as the gold standard for elder law practitioners. Administered by NELF, the certification process is exceptionally rigorous, requiring extensive peer reviews, a proven track record of handling a high volume of complex elder law cases, and continuous advanced legal education. The centerpiece of the certification is a comprehensive, full-day examination testing deep technical knowledge of aging-related legal matters.
With elder law remaining one of the fastest-growing sectors in the legal profession, this certification provides objective, third-party validation of an attorney’s specialized competence. It distinguishes practitioners who possess a verified, comprehensive understanding of the unique financial, medical, and legal challenges affecting seniors and individuals with special needs.
“Our mission at Entrusted Legacy Law has always been to break down the complex, often overwhelming legal hurdles that Pennsylvania families face as they age,” said Ashley Sharek, Founding Attorney. “Earning the CELA designation is a milestone that reflects my deep commitment to providing our community with a clear, reliable roadmap for life’s ‘what ifs.’ Hardworking families in Pennsylvania spend a lifetime building their legacies; they deserve specialized, accurate guidance to navigate intricate state rules without confusion.”
“Our goal has always been to flip the script on traditional, intimidating law practices by prioritizing transparent communication and client education,” added Jenna Johns, Chief Operating Officer of Entrusted Legacy Law. “We pair top-tier legal credentials with a heart-centered approach, utilizing clear flat-fee pricing so families never have to worry about a ticking clock when they need answers. This certification reinforces the high standard of precision and care our team brings to every single consultation.”
