Firm Summary

Ms. Bond is currently a senior partner of Bond & McCullough. She has practiced law in Doylestown, Pennsylvania for more than 35 years representing clients in conference and boardrooms, as well as Courtrooms in Pennsylvania. She has served as Chairperson of the Bucks County Bar Association Orphans’ Court Section for two terms and has been appointed by Judges of Bucks County as Guardian of many elderly persons. This gives Ms. Bond a unique perspective and insight into their needs. When Ms. Bond represents you in probating a Will, administering an Estate, or filing a Petition for Guardianship, you can be assured that your loved ones will be treated with the utmost care, compassion and competency. Your estate documents, such as wills, trusts, living wills, powers or attorney will be prepared with clear, concise and effective language to avoid conflicts and confusion in the future. Although, Ms. Bond has tremendous successes in Orphans’ Court matters, such as wills contests, and estates’ disputes, she strongly believes that your estate documents should be drafted with such precision that Court appearances will not be necessary. Your family’s confidential and delicate situations will be handled with discretion and sensitivity.
