What is an Elder Law Attorney?
As an Elder Care Attorney, John helps families navigate the complex issues that arise when a loved one requires long-term care. He guides clients through the Medicaid eligibility process and ensures they receive the benefits they need.
John also prepares essential legal documents—including financial powers of attorney, advance health care directives, and last wills and testaments. Every person over the age of 65 should have these protections in place, and John makes certain they are tailored to each client’s unique needs.
In addition, John assists families in obtaining guardianships when a relative becomes mentally incapacitated due to dementia, stroke, or other conditions, and has not established a proper plan.

Elder Law Firm Costs
