Types of Guardianships
When a person seeks guardianship, they are requesting that the courts grant them the power to make decisions on someone's behalf.
You can request guardianship over:
- The person, which involves providing care for an incapacitated individual
- The estate, which involves managing someone's finances
- Both the person and the estate
In order to be a guardian, you must be at least 18 years of age, not a convicted felon, and show that you are of a sound mind.
Reasons Guardianship May Be Required
- When an individual is physically incapacitated
- When an individual developed a mental illness and is unable to care for themselves (such as dementia or Alzhemeir's disease)
- When a minor's parents are unable to care for them

This office was beyond friendly, extremely diligent, and most importantly kind. They did not nickel and dime me to death. They handled the business at hand and kept me informed along the way. Highly highly recommended to anyone they have so many areas of expertise.

They were very helpful and extremely nice. I can't thank them enough for helping my family and I get through the tough times we went through. The staff was very welcoming and understanding, I really recommend their help if anyone is looking for good lawyers!

They made a very unpleasant experience not so unpleasant. They kept me informed and weren't condescending if I didn't respond in a timely manner do to circumstances beyond my control, and it was over before I thought it would be. At age 56 this was my first and only time to file for bankruptcy so I was completely unsure of the process and frankly, I was a little scared. When all was said and done, it was not so scary.

They are wonderful! We adopted our granddaughter with the help of this firm. They treated us as family and were open/forthcoming within every step of the process. Thank you for your kindness and assistance. We will use you again in the future.

I went to Stephen Fisher at Martin Attorneys, PA with a difficult situation in which I was trying to make an ex-spouse rise to a level of either upholding his commitments of our divorce decree in regards to our children or move on and stop causing emotional damage etc.
Mr. Fisher was extremely compassionate and also very resourceful in helping us all come to the table to find a solution that, while still in the trial period, allows an environment for both parents to flourish and to be given every reason and opportunity to believe that all efforts have been made on both sides of the table to provide the best outcome for those most vulnerable and important – our kids.
I will definitely seek Mr. Fisher’s legal advice for matters in the future and refer friend’s family and strangers to him and his office. 5 Stars all the way! -
I went to Martin Attorneys to file for bankruptcy and during my filing my car was repossessed, with their help I was able to get it back. Martin Attorneys know what they are doing and they know the law, I highly recommend Martin Attorneys should you need help.

I am so thankful that attorneys like Shea Crosby exist! Admittedly, I didn't know what I needed or wanted prior to my initial consultation with Shea. I had met or spoke with several other lawyers before meeting her. Each and every time I left feeling defeated, insignificant, or like a dollar sign. Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case. Her level of professionalism continued throughout the entirety of my case, which lasted just shy of ten months. Shea was always easily accessible through text, email, and phone calls. She fought for me, and my family, and she believed in me, even at times when others didn't. At the end of the day, Shea helped me negotiate an agreement which provided me and my family the relief and protections we NEEDED, and WANTED. I am so very grateful for her. It's not often one is sad when their legal proceedings have ended (when they've "won"). But that is exactly how I felt. Shea was my advisor, advocate, and by time it was over, I also considered her a friend. Her real world experience made her not only relatable, but often times my confidant. I highly recommend Shea Crosby to anyone needing a family law attorney.
