Elder Law

100 Pinewood Ln suite 303, Warrendale, PA 15086, USA

Area of Practice: Estate Planning & Elder Law Ashley Sharek is an estate planning attorney who helps families in the Pittsburgh area safeguard their loved ones and their assets. She works with people to create solid legal foundations that protect their financial future and allow them to pass down their values alongside their wealth. Whether a family is traditional, blended, or includes unmarried partners, Ashley guides them through the process of securing their family's well-being for years to come. She focuses on making sense of the complicated legal and financial decisions involved in planning. Her expertise includes family protection, wealth preservation, and special planning strategies for divorced or unmarried individuals. In practice, clients often feel that working with Ashley is a warm, personal experience—not the cold, transactional process that estate planning can sometimes be. For example, she aims to build long-term relationships with clients, helping them adjust their plans as their lives change. Ashley graduated from Westminster College before earning her law degree from Duquesne University Law School. Early in her career, she practiced law in downtown Pittsburgh, focusing on insurance defense, family law, and estate planning. In 2018, she decided to start her own firm, Sharek Law Office, LLC, now Entrusted Legacy Law, because she felt strongly about educating the community on the importance of proper estate planning for everyone, regardless of their family structure or wealth level.
