About this firm

Protecting Your Family

Whether you are facing a time-sensitive elder law situation, are ready to plan for your future or are seeking representation during probate or related matters, Palos Elder Law, Ltd., will provide you with experienced guidance that makes you feel protected. I am a Palos Heights estate and probate law attorney who provides up-to-date legal representation that is tailored to your situation. My dedicated staff and I serve people throughout the southwest suburbs of Chicago.

Experienced Orland Park Elder Law Attorney

My elder law practice includes planning and preparing documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney. I also offer assistance with Medicaid planning and representation for probate, guardianships and other matters. Along with long-term planning, we assist with urgent problems such as unexpected nursing home admissions.

During 25 years as a lawyer, I have developed an approach to these legal issues that is:

Knowledgeable. I am a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), and I regularly attend national and local elder law conferences. Through exchanging ideas I am able to stay at the forefront of changes to both federal and Illinois law and provide you with cutting edge but prudent legal documents.

Understandable. I am willing to take time to listen to your unique family situation and discuss options that may work for you. Rather than rush you through the process, I want to make sure you understand and feel protected by the plan that we create.

Relationship focused. I will serve as your partner in planning by working to develop a long-term relationship with you. Your needs may change over time, and my law firm will work to ensure that your goals are met now and in the future.

I am assisted by an experienced and dedicated staff, including a paralegal who has worked with me for 25 years and keeps Palos Elder Law clients informed about their legal matters.

Paul A. Smolinski - Your Partner in Planning

My office is located at 6446 West 127th Street, Suite 201, Palos Heights, IL 60463. For time-sensitive matters, appointments are available outside regular business hours, and I am willing to meet with clients off-site.

Thorough, Understandable Elder Law Assistance

If you are like many people, the idea of calling an attorney for help with an elder law matter is daunting. The legal rules and complex language involved in estate planning and probate can be overwhelming. You may fear that the attorney will simply rush you through the process. Whether you are planning for events in the future or you are facing an emergency situation, your legal matter needs care, attention to detail and an individual approach that makes you feel comfortable with the process.

My name is Paul A. Smolinski, and I am a Palos Heights elder law attorney who understands that while laws are written in black and white, your family situation may be painted in many shades of gray. Through my law firm, Palos Elder Law, Ltd., I will listen to your unique family situation, help you understand your legal options and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of those options in ordinary language. My goal is for you to understand and feel protected by the plan that we create.
