My practice focuses on the unique needs of seniors. I work with a variety of legal tools and techniques to meet the specific goals and objectives of my senior client, including general estate planning, planning for long term care needs such as Medicaid and nursing home care, planning for incapacity and disability, protecting or preserving assets, and applying for Medicaid,Social Security and other benefits.

Estate Planning 35%

I assist clients in creating a comprehensive estate plan designed to carry out their wishes about who will receive their property and assets after death; preserve assets and minimize estate taxes; set forth the kinds of life-prolonging medical care they wish to receive should they be unable to make their wishes known when the time comes; provide a trusted guardian for minor children; set forth the kind of funeral arrangements they would like; and maintain financial health during incapacity.

Guardianship 10%

I assist clients with petitioning for guardianship or conservatorship over a loved one who can no longer manage their personal or financial affairs. I also assist clients with planning for incapacity with the use of durable power of attorneys and health care proxies so that they or their family can avoid such proceedings.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

My late husband and I used Stephanie to draw up an estate plan and related health documents after my husband received a dementia AND a cancer diagnosis. She is the 3rd lawyer I've dealt with in my life and the best at explaining thing in a clear, unrushed manner. She was always responsive at getting ...back to me with questions. She also helped my late husband set up a Special Needs Trust for his handicapped son. It was comforting at a time of great stress to work with her - I would highly recommend her.

If you searching for a lawyer like I was and reading through numerou...s web pages please consider this review, you will not find anyone better to represent you. Thank You Stephanie, the McNeil's

We recommend Stephanie for estate planning

Stephanie gave my late husband and I wonderful support and information (explaining things in "lay persons" language) when he was planning to retire due to a terminal illness. It allowed us to get our plans set long before we needed which gave us great peace of mind.

Unwavering Support

Attorney Konarski assisted my family when an unexpected medical condition struck my husband. We did not know where to start and had literally hundreds of questions about the future of our finances. Luckily we found Attorney Konarski through a friend's recommendation and she helped us through what w...e thought we be a extremely difficult time. The attention we received and knowledge provided gave us options we would have never found on our own. My husband and I could not haven been happier with the help.
