About Our Firm

Dedicated to Protecting Your Legacy

Zacharia Frey PLLC was founded on the belief that every family deserves access to thoughtful, experienced legal counsel for life's most important planning decisions.

Our Story

Zacharia Frey PLLC is a Bonita Springs-based estate planning and elder law firm serving families and individuals throughout Southwest Florida — but our story didn't begin here.

Founding partner Carl Zacharia spent more than three decades building one of Western Pennsylvania's most respected estate planning and elder law practices as a principal of Zacharia Brown & Bratkovich, guiding thousands of families through some of life's most important decisions. That experience — including the processing of over 7,000 Medicaid applications across Pennsylvania and Florida — is the foundation upon which Zacharia Frey PLLC was built. Carl continues his of counsel relationship with Zacharia Brown & Bratkovich, ensuring that the firm's Pennsylvania clients remain in trusted hands.

Joining Carl is Ehren J. Frey, a Law Review editor and top-of-class law school graduate who has spent ten years developing deep expertise in Florida financial and estate planning. Together, Carl and Ehren bring a depth of combined experience that is rare in a boutique firm — and that is precisely the point.

We established Zacharia Frey PLLC because Southwest Florida families deserve more than a transactional law firm. They deserve a trusted partner with the knowledge, history, and personal commitment to help them plan wisely, protect what they have built, and care for the people they love. Whether you are creating your first estate plan, navigating probate, planning for Medicaid, or pursuing a guardianship, you will find at Zacharia Frey PLLC something that cannot be replicated overnight — experience you can trust, and counsel that truly cares.
