Practice Areas:
Elder Law & Asset Protection
We help clients qualify for government medical benefits (including special needs and Medicare, Medicaid and VA Veterans benefits) legally and ensure their estates are preserved for their families, instead of their nest egg being wiped out by high nursing home and other care-related expenses.
Estate Planning: Wills & Trusts
Through the use of Wills (simple & complex), Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, Revocable, Living & Irrevocable Trusts, Family Limited Partnerships, Health Care Directives and Charitable Gifting Strategies, our firm helps families preserve their wealth for future generations, minimize estate taxes, and avoid the expense and nightmare of probate.
