Plotnick and Ellis is an estate planning boutique law firm in Jenkintown, Pa.
Flaster Greenberg PC law firm in Cherry Hill has announced that attorneys and staff of Plotnick and Ellis PC, an estate planning boutique law firm, will join the firm effective Jan. 1. All 13 members of Plotnick and Ellis, including a seasoned team of six attorneys, two paralegals, and five administrative staff members, will combine with Flaster Greenberg, adding a Jenkintown, Pa. office location where Plotnick and Ellis is currently based. Plans for a new office in Conshohocken, Pa., in the spring of 2019 are currently in the works. Discussions between the two firms began earlier this year.
“The addition of the Ellis group is a natural fit and mutually beneficial for both firms given our complimentary business and estates practices and client service standards. We’re confident that our existing and future clients will reap the benefits of this union,” said Alan H. Zuckerman, managing shareholder of Flaster Greenberg PC. “The addition of this strong group of attorneys will help us further deepen our corporate and trusts and estates practices, which have always been the bedrock of our firm. We are looking forward to expanding our footprint into the booming economy of the Philadelphia suburbs. We also have plans to grow the soon-to-be Conshohocken office with additional attorneys from that area.”
Founded in 1991, Plotnick and Ellis focuses on helping people plan their estates, and settling the estates of deceased persons, as well as assisting their clients with their business and real estate needs. Most recently, the firm was given the “Best in Client Satisfaction” distinction by Philadelphia Magazine. The firm was started by Charles K. Plotnick and is now led by Jonathan H. Ellis, who focuses his practice primarily on estate planning, estate administration, elder law and the representation of closely-held businesses. Ellis is rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell and is currently a fellow in The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel. Admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida, he received his J.D. from Widener University and earned his LL.M. in taxation from Temple University Beasley School of Law. He is also an active member of the Montgomery County Bar Association and Philadelphia Estate Planning Council.
“Joining the law firm of Flaster Greenberg will create great opportunities for our attorneys and clients,” said Jon Ellis, managing shareholder of Plotnick and Ellis. “Not only will our core practices be strengthened but we will also now be able to offer clients a full suite of services we previously were not in the position to as a specialty firm. Best of all, our client service, autonomy, and firm culture will not change since both of our firms are so closely aligned on those aspects. The timing of our initial discussions with Flaster Greenberg was remarkable in part due to the decision of my partner, Charlie Plotnick, to reduce his time in the office.”
Charlie Plotnick will also join Flaster Greenberg as Of Counsel to the firm.
