We Bring Peace Of Mind During Difficult Times
We are NY elder law attorneys dedicated to helping the elderly, disabled, persons with special needs and those suffering from alzheimers and dementia. Understanding the legal and practical issues and needs of these elderly individuals takes a special type of attorney. Estate planning, elder law, Medicaid and estate law can be daunting and confusing to the general public, those who work in the health care field and even attorneys who do not truly practice in this specific area.
As a result, in my practice every day, I see and hear from my clients a lot of misinformation and bad advice going around by these people that brings about catastrophic results when it comes to protecting and preserving assets in the face of the astronomical cost of long term nursing care and elder care cost in NY. Our offices are located in Staten Island, New York, Brooklyn, Bronx, White Plains, Garden City, Melville, NY.
We are New York elder law lawyers dedicated in educating our clients and their families in taking a proactive approach to estate and Medicaid planning so that family members will have the proper legal documents, tools and advice at their disposal to properly protect and preserve assets against NY nursing homes and the high cost of long term care, so that we can insure the proper transfer of wealth to the next generation and not have the family’s inheritance wiped out and spent on the catastrophic costs associated with long term care costs.
We are New York elder law attorneys dedicated to providing our clients and their families with the finest legal representation available in Manhattan, White Plains, Bronx, Long Island, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Queens, NY. Our understanding and experience in this highly complicated area of the law helps our clients and their families make the right choices when it comes to protecting and preservation of their assets at a very vulnerable time in their lives and qualifying them for NY Medicaid in the face of the high cost of long term care in New York so that assets can be passed on and properly inherited by those who the client wishes to inherit and not spent on New York nursing home care. We are there to secure that family member the health care services and placement they need at a very vulnerable time in their lives and we are also there to make sure that the proper transfer of wealth takes place with the proper reduction or elimination of estate and capital gains tax.

Mr. Camporeale was recommended to me by a friend at work. She said he was well-read and up to date with the current revisions . I wanted my homes put into a trust for my children . He was articulate, knowledgeable and caring. His staff is also more than courteous and helpful.

I met with Michael because I was having trouble getting Medicaid for my grandmother. Michael was able to walk me through all of the steps that I needed to take and made it very easy and clear. Michael was able to help me get Medicaid and attain the proper care for her.
"I endorse this lawyer. He is an outstanding attorney, very caring to his clients, possesses high ethical standards, and works very hard to get the best possible result for his clients. I have worked on matters with him for the last couple of years and I have been very impressed. He deserves the highest rating."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have met Michael through my brother as they went to law school together. Michael Camporeale has always been a knowledgable, smart, and trustworthy attorney who gets fantastic results for his clients. My family trusted Michael to create Wills for my parents. As my parents aged we again turned to Michael to put my parents real property into a trust so that our assets would be safe should my parents health fail. However what has been most impressive about Michael is how he worked tirelessly to get my father's Medicaid application approved. Despite 3 administrative denials and 4-5 required appearances to "court" Michael would not take no for an answer and he prevailed! You need an attorney who can cut through bureaucratic red tape to get results; Michael Camporeale gets results. I have referred several of my own clients to Mike, and each time they called me back to thank me for the introduction. Call Mike and let him help you or your family."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is a very hardworking and trustworthy attorney. I refer him many clients. My clients are very happy with his services and knowledge."
"Mike has significant experience working with elder and estate law issues. Whether it is estate planning, medicaid planning, probate or other surrogate court matters, when I have a questions in these areas, I call Mike. He is knowledgeable, approachable and easy to talk to. For those reasons, I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
"I have personally dealt with Mr. Camporeale in multiple legal mattes and I have also referred clients to Mr. Camporeale for Wills and Estate Law matters. Mr. Camporeale's office has proven itself to be a professional, reputable and competent firm."
"I'm a lawyer, and I entrusted him to represent my parents. I went to law school with Michael and worked on some matters with him. When my elderly parents required advanced estate planning it was Michael who I retained for my parents. Like I said, I'm a lawyer and I entrusted him to represent my parents. need I say more?"
