        Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

However, the best time to find an attorney is before a crisis.

        Legal problems that affect the elderly are rapidly growing. New York state and federal laws and regulations are becoming more complex. Actions taken by the elderly with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal effects.

        We have a broad understanding of the laws that may have an impact on a given situation, to avoid future problems of the elderly that allows them and their staff to ignore the myths relating to aging and the competence of the elderly. We take into account and empathize with the true physical and mental difficulties that often accompany the aging process.
