Gloria Shatto joins Barley Snyder with a demonstrated history working in estate and trust administration and wealth management. Before starting at the firm, she worked as a Trust and Estate Administration Manager at a Lancaster-based bank where she handled a vast array of estate matters. Shatto also has prior experience practicing law at a firm in Lancaster County where she advised clients on matters of estate planning, estate administration, real estate transfers and elder law. Currently, she serves on the Board of Trustees for The Janus School.

“I am excited to join Barley Snyder where I will have the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional team of legal professionals and work closely with clients to address their legal needs,” said Shatto. “My decision to join Barley was based on many years of working with members of the firm and seeing their commitment to clients.
