Elder Law, Special Needs, Estate Planning, and Peace of Mind

Have you been reluctant or afraid to do legal planning? Are you worried that your estate planning and administration may not be done correctly? Don’t let your story be one of missed opportunities. Our asset protection plan and our recommendation on elder law, special needs, and estate planning will protect you and your family. It will make a difference in your life. It will bring you peace of mind.

How Should I Choose a Law Firm?

Choosing and working with a typical law firm can be stressful. Often you don’t know what the process is, what it will cost, and whether the law firm will even be able to help you! To complicate things further, often you won’t know if legal work is done correctly until weeks, months, or even years have passed.

To feel confident in your choice, and to know that your confidence is not misplaced, you should look for much more. Ask for testimonial letters (we have dozens!). Ask about credentials, designations, years of experience, books authored, and articles written. For example, Vincent J. Russo and Marvin Rachlin have written the “book” on how to practice elder law in New York, New York Elder Law Practice, which is used by elder law attorneys all around the state.
