A Full-Service Law Firm, Putting Clients First Since 1953

Hazleton Estate Planning and Probate Attorneys

Estate planning is an important concern for nearly everyone, not just for the wealthy — and it should not be put off until retirement. Everyone should complete some degree of estate planning, including young, single people with modest assets and others in prime health.

You can’t predict death, tragedy, illness or mental infirmity, but you can prepare for it. Laputka, Bayless, Ecker & Cohn, PC, in Hazleton offers comprehensive and affordable services in estate planning, elder law, estate administration and probate law. Our established firm has proudly served Luzerne County and the surrounding region for more than 60 years.

A Law Firm for Your Protection at Any Age, Under Any Circumstances

Many of our estate planning clients are business owners or injury victims whom we have helped resolve other important legal challenges.
