Biography
Robert Clofine has been practicing law since 1982 and is nationally recognized as a specialist in Elder Law and Estate Law.
In 2000, Mr. Clofine became the sixth attorney from the state of Pennsylvania to be certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation, the only organization accredited by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to offer a certification in the field. Fewer than 70 attorneys in Pennsylvania have received this certification. Clofine has been selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® in the field of elder law every year since 2008 and was named “Lawyer of the Year” in the field of Elder Law for the Harrisburg Region for 2014-2015 and again for 2022-2023.
Here is what Best Lawyers® says about the “Lawyer of the Year” award. “Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” making this accolade particularly significant. Lawyers being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” are selected based on particularly impressive voting averages received during the exhaustive peer-review assessments we conduct with thousands of leading lawyers each year. Receiving this designation reflects the high level of respect a lawyer has earned among other leading lawyers in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism, and their integrity.”
He has also been named a “Super Lawyer” by the independent Super Lawyer magazine every year since 2005. The firm was given a Tier 1 rating in the 2012 inaugural Best Firms survey conducted by U.S. News and Best Lawyers®. It was one of only 11 Pennsylvania firms to receive this recognition in the field of elder law. The firm has received similar recognition every year since, with the latest honor in 2025, when only 5 Pennsylvania firms received a tier 1 rating. The firm also received a Tier 1 rating in Trusts & Estate Law in 2025.
