Elder Law Services We Offer | Our Attorneys are Here for You
Legal problems that affect the elderly are rapidly growing. New York state and federal laws are becoming more complex. We have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a situation, and we take into account and empathize with the true physical and mental difficulties that often accompany the aging process.
We understand the afflictions of aging, which allows us to determine more easily the differences between the physical and mental disabilities of our clients. We are tied into a system of social workers, psychologists and other elder care professionals who may be of assistance to you. Our experienced attorneys will exhaust every resource to make sure you receive the care you deserve and that your goals are met.
