Focused and Compassionate Elder Law Representation
Elder law is an area of practice that focuses on helping the elderly and their families deal with the legal issues that arise with age. Our goal is to assure that seniors receive necessary care and that their rights are fully protected. We accomplish that goal through the following legal areas:
- Estate administration and probate - Settling the decedent's estate by shouldering the legal burden of the named executor.
- Estate planning - A full assessment of the client's estate and the creation of a plan that meets his or her wishes through wills, trusts, living wills, powers of attorney, and the appointment of a healthcare agent or conservatorship.
- State and federal benefits for long-term care - Preservation of assets and Title 19 Medicaid for long-term benefits for nursing homes or at-home care.
- Elder abuse - Protecting the elderly through restraining orders that stop physical and financial abuse from a family member or caregiver.
We also represent our clients in nursing home litigation for allegations of medical malpractice and personal injury resulting from bed sores, pressure sores, slip and falls, sexual abuse, theft, malnutrition and dehydration.
A hallmark of our practice is our ability to work closely with a number of agencies (such as the Department of Social Services) and others that deal with elder care. Through these agencies, we secure valuable healthcare and home companionship services.
We are a suburban Manchester practice located outside of Hartford. Contact us to speak with a lawyer. Our office is very accessible with ample parking to accommodate our senior clients and their families.
