Julie Steinbacher Named a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel
Attorney Julie Steinbacher, the owner and founding shareholder of Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, has been named a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC). The ACTEC is a national organization of more than 2,500 attorneys and law professors that are peer-elected to membership. Members are called "fellows," and they represent the best and brightest in the trust and estate practice, with years of experience representing and advising individuals and families.
Julie, who is also a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) through the National Elder Law Foundation, joins Attorney Amos Goodall as a fellow in the ACTEC. Julie and Amos are two of only 96 attorneys in Pennsylvania to be ACTEC fellows, and are two of only five attorneys in ACTEC from the northeast and north central portion of Pennsylvania ranging from the Poconos and west through the State College area. They are also the only ACTEC fellows in both the greater Williamsport and State College areas.
