Testimonials

“We both feel that you did an excellent job in explaining to us the various options which are available as we seek to find the best plan for us.”

Robert & Rita B.
Long Term Care Planning Clients

“I think you have some idea of how much support you provided, for me especially, over these past several years. You were far more than our “elder care lawyer.” Your helpfulness and understanding gave me a lot of courage and helped me/us do what needed to be done. Thank you so much.”

Linda L.
Daughter of Long Term Care Client

“I hired Deborah to facilitate the Medicaid application process for my Dad. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding Medicaid regulations, documentation needed, and the process. Deborah dealt directly with all questions and requests from the Mass Health office and kept me informed of any issues or progress. Knowing that I had Deborah’s expertise during what was a stressful time, was a great relief.”

Ellen H.
Daughter of Medicaid Client

“I recently worked with Deborah to assist a family member with estate and long term care planning. Deborah’s practice is focused on these areas which are highly complex and ever-changing. She does a great job breaking down the complexities and explaining the options available. I confidently recommend Deb for her expertise in these areas.”

Elder Law

WHAT IS ELDER LAW?

The practice of elder law focuses on a specific kind of client -- an elder or an individual with special needs.   Working with the client, and also often with his or her family, we focus on all of the client’s needs as he or she faces the challenges of aging and/or disability.  We help to solve our client’s legal, financial, and health care problems and to maximize his or her quality of life.  We help our clients protect their hard-earned assets and homes from the potentially devastating costs of long term care.

PRACTICE AREAS IN ELDER LAW

  • LONG TERM AND LIFE CARE PLANNING advance and crisis plans

  • PUBLIC BENEFITS counseling

  • MEDICAID (MASSHEALTH) planning, applications, appeals, and eligibility reviews

  • VETERANS’ BENEFITS planning, claims, applications and appeals

  • ASSET PRESERVATION PLANNING when an elder or disabled person or spouse needs long term care

  • FACILITATION OF LONG TERM CARE PLACEMENTS in nursing home or assisted living facilities including admissions contracts review and negotiation

  • END OF LIFE DECISIONS

  • CONSERVATORSHIPS AND GUARDIANSHIPS

  • SPECIAL/SUPPLEMENTAL NEEDS PLANNING including Pooled Trusts

  • RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE sales, purchases, transfers, and management

THE TIMES THEY ARE A’CHANGIN’:
TSLF is Winding Down to Retirement
times-changing-post
When we started our elder law practice in 1999, 60s sounded old(ish) and far away from our own ages.  We accepted without question the notion that someone 62+ was an "elder" under the definitions of government assistance programs.  Fast forward a bunch of years and now that we are in our 60s ourselves, 60 doesn’t seem that old really at all.  What do you mean we are now "elders" ourselves??!!!  As we have gotten older, we have experienced with our own parents and families many of the challenges that we have counseled our clients about, and have juggled our caregiving...
