also known as Samuels Law Firm
I am an attorney and advocate with over 15 years of legal experience. I began my career as an Assistant District Attorney, then worked for a New York City law firm where I focused on the educational rights of students with disabilities. I founded the Samuels Law Firm, which is a full service Trusts & Estate firm concentrating in Estate Planning, Estate and Trust Administration, Guardianships, Elder Law, and Special Needs Planning. I use my background and experiences to help individuals and families protect and preserve their legacy so they can leave a legacy of their choice and age with dignity and peace of mind. I am a member of the Elder Law and Special Needs Section of the New York State Bar Association and the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys (“NAELA”) and frequently present on topics such as the importance of planning early.
