Elder Law

Generally speaking, those who practice elder law are defined by the clients served, rather than a particular substantive area of law. At our firm, elder law primarily means helping individuals and families plan for the big challenges in life: incapacity, disability, long term care, and making gifts to loved ones and charities. We counsel clients of all ages on estate planning issues, emphasizing the need to plan for incapacity and the possibility of long term care, including Medicaid planning. We often work as a team with financial advisors and other professionals to ensure that individuals’ and families’ needs are met with a holistic approach. When crises arise, such as a sudden, unexpected need for long term care, we respond with sensitivity to the financial and emotional strain that can occur, offering counsel and representation on issues ranging from asset protection to guardianship and advocating for our clients and their families to secure their rights and ensure access to quality care.

Our elder law attorneys are past and present members of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and adhere to its Aspirational Standards of Professionalism and Ethical Behavior for Elder and Special Needs Law Attorneys.
