My experience with Mr. Michael Olver and Helsell Fetterman was exceptional. His experience with Elder Law and Guardianships was paramount for me to make it through a very complex guardianship of my medically incapacitated Mother who was confined to a skilled nursing facility. I was awarded guardianship of person and estate behind a DPOA that had mismanaged funds, embezzled and abandoned their duties. The debts that the previous DPOA incurred were astounding. This included outstanding nursing home board, back real estate & income taxes, bank accounts, and numerous other incidentals we discovered along the way. I faced a complete nightmare. The complexity was way beyond my scope of knowledge and my attorney at the time immediately referred me to Mr. Olver due to his expertise with Elder Law. Mr. Olver’s Paralegal contacted me right away. Himself and an associate quickly met with me in to discuss the situation which was a complete mess. They helped me with hearings, Guardianship reports, debt management and helped me work with the nursing home. This took many, many hours of legal time to sort through information, investigate and prepare for numerous hearings. He helped solve problems I thought were way beyond repair. Their support went on for many years given the complexity. Mr. Olver, Paralegals Nikki and Jennifer, Helsell Fetterman attorneys and all other staff were always professional, prompt and communicated in a timely manner. I was so fortunate to have been referred to this amazing firm. I recommend Mr. Michael Olver with confidence if you seek an Elder Law expert. You will get thorough professional advice. Mr. Olver and his team are detail oriented, non-pretentious, accountable and take the time to ensure you understand your options. He truly cares about his clients and most of all, he has compassion for the elderly for whom he advocates. I can’t thank this firm enough for their support.
Mike Olver did an excellent job representing me on my parents estate. He knew the law extremely well and was able to apply it my situation. There were several challenges from family members, but Mike was able to help me administer the Trust Agreement per the wishes of my parents.
We were involved in a dispute with a family member over the distribution of a loved ones estate. We were referred to Michael's firm, Helsell Fetterman, by coworkers (also attorneys). The first person we spoke with and explained our situation to said, "You need a bulldog. I've got just the guy". Enter Michael Olver. Michael was quick to identify the basis for our claim and let us know quickly that we had a strong argument that happens to be one of the many things he lectures on regularly. With a few strongly worded letters and a call with the other parties attorney we were quickly offered the fair settlement we originally asked for. Without Michaels deep knowledge of estate law we may have been mired in months of back and forth offers and possibly costly litigation. Regardless of the outcome (even thought we "won") I feel that Michael and team would have done everything possible and explored every option before giving up. I have all confidence in Michael and would highly refer him to anyone. Thank you, Michael, for your professionalism and expertise.
Mike's experience and expertise were key to guiding a potentially messy will dispute to a resolution that was highly favorable for us. He achieved this in an efficient and cost effective way. The results he obtained exceeded our expectations. Mike took time to understand our concerns, and clearly explained strategies and options each step of the way. We felt very confident in his advice. He brought dignity, wisdom and humor to a challenging situation. He has an excellent support team, and we're grateful to have had him on our team through a significant life event.

Regardless of the outcome (even thought we "won") I feel that Michael and team would have done everything possible and explored every option before giving up. I have all confidence in Michael and would highly refer him to anyone. Thank you, Michael, for your professionalism and expertise.
Mike's experience and expertise were key to guiding a potentially messy will dispute to a resolution that was highly favorable for us. He achieved this in an efficient and cost effective way. The results he obtained exceeded our expectations. Mike took time to understand our concerns, and clearly explained strategies and options each step of the way. We felt very confident in his advice. He brought dignity, wisdom and humor to a challenging situation. He has an excellent support team, and we're grateful to have had him on our team through a significant life event.
My experience with Mr. Michael Olver and Helsell Fetterman was exceptional. His experience with Elder Law and Guardianships was paramount for me to make it through a very complex guardianship of my medically incapacitated Mother who was confined to a skilled nursing facility. I was awarded guardianship of person and estate behind a DPOA that had mismanaged funds, embezzled and abandoned their duties. The debts that the previous DPOA incurred were astounding. This included outstanding nursing home board, back real estate & income taxes, bank accounts, and numerous other incidentals we discovered along the way. I faced a complete nightmare. The complexity was way beyond my scope of knowledge and my attorney at the time immediately referred me to Mr. Olver due to his expertise with Elder Law. Mr. Olver’s Paralegal contacted me right away. Himself and an associate quickly met with me in to discuss the situation which was a complete mess. They helped me with hearings, Guardianship reports, debt management and helped me work with the nursing home. This took many, many hours of legal time to sort through information, investigate and prepare for numerous hearings. He helped solve problems I thought were way beyond repair. Their support went on for many years given the complexity. Mr. Olver, Paralegals Nikki and Jennifer, Helsell Fetterman attorneys and all other staff were always professional, prompt and communicated in a timely manner. I was so fortunate to have been referred to this amazing firm. I recommend Mr. Michael Olver with confidence if you seek an Elder Law expert. You will get thorough professional advice. Mr. Olver and his team are detail oriented, non-pretentious, accountable and take the time to ensure you understand your options. He truly cares about his clients and most of all, he has compassion for the elderly for whom he advocates. I can’t thank this firm enough for their support.
Mike Olver did an excellent job representing me on my parents estate. He knew the law extremely well and was able to apply it my situation. There were several challenges from family members, but Mike was able to help me administer the Trust Agreement per the wishes of my parents.
We were involved in a dispute with a family member over the distribution of a loved ones estate. We were referred to Michael's firm, Helsell Fetterman, by coworkers (also attorneys). The first person we spoke with and explained our situation to said, "You need a bulldog. I've got just the guy". Enter Michael Olver. Michael was quick to identify the basis for our claim and let us know quickly that we had a strong argument that happens to be one of the many things he lectures on regularly. With a few strongly worded letters and a call with the other parties attorney we were quickly offered the fair settlement we originally asked for. Without Michaels deep knowledge of estate law we may have been mired in months of back and forth offers and possibly costly litigation. Regardless of the outcome (even thought we "won") I feel that Michael and team would have done everything possible and explored every option before giving up. I have all confidence in Michael and would highly refer him to anyone. Thank you, Michael, for your professionalism and expertise.
