About Chad W.
Chad W. Eichorn blends years of study in the humanities and theology with a more recent professional devotion to the law. He earned his undergraduate studies in philosophy and theology from Southern Nazarene University in 2003 and followed that with a Master of Divinity from Nazarene Theological Seminary in 2007. He later completed his legal education at Drake University Law School, receiving his J.D. in 2013.
Those academic steps map a rare trajectory into practice. Eichorn moved from philosophical and theological study into legal work, completing law school in the early 2010s. The sequence of degrees suggests a broad intellectual background that informs how he approaches complex client matters. He is credentialed as a VA Accredited Lawyer, which permits representation in matters involving veterans’ benefits.
Eichorn is active in several professional associations that align with his practice. He holds current memberships in the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), WealthCounsel and ElderCounsel. He is also a member of the International Academy of Dispute Resolution. These affiliations point to an emphasis on elder law, estate planning and alternative dispute resolution techniques in his day-to-day work.
Within his practice, clients can expect work on elder law issues, estate and estate planning matters, veterans’ benefits and related probate concerns. He participates in dispute resolution processes as part of that work, drawing on memberships in ADR organizations to handle contested matters outside of litigation when appropriate. His VA accreditation lets him handle appeals and claims that affect veterans and their families.
Eichorn practices at Pearson Bollman Law, where he works alongside other attorneys on matters that bridge elder law and estate planning. He maintains ties to national networks of elder law and estate planning professionals through WealthCounsel and ElderCounsel, which keeps him connected to current drafting tools and planning strategies. His training in philosophy and divinity, followed by legal training, gives him a combination of perspectives he applies to sensitive client matters.
His colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing documents and steady in dispute resolution settings. He balances technical planning work with case handling that often involves vulnerable clients and complex benefit rules. He currently practices at Pearson Bollman Law, concentrating on elder law, estate planning, veterans’ benefits and alternative dispute resolution.
