Ellen Victor concentrates her practice in all aspects of elder law, small business and estate planning. She is qualified to serve as attorney to incapacitated persons in a guardianship proceeding.

 

While Ellen provides estate planning and elder law to a wide variety of clients, as the parent of an adult special needs child, her passion is serving the legal needs of families with disabled children.  Ellen's Mom is currently in a nursing home, and Ellen finds working with families in this difficult situation very rewarding.

Very helpful and detailed
Ellen assisted my mother and I with estate planning, probate and 2 real estate deals. She helped clean up what another attorney left hanging so to speak, with a probate issue that involved a property and was able to handle everything as well as advise us on best practices given our situation, she was "down to earth" and easy to talk to. I was impressed with her service and responsiveness so we chose to use her services for 3 real estate transactions for us. She is attentive to detail and has in all cases protected us as her clients down to the smallest detail. I was recommended to her and would recommend her for estate planning, real estate or probate as these are the services I've personally have had with her services.

Great Eldercare, Trust Attorney
Love her...our family has used Ellen for 7-8 years to handle Trust & Elder Care issues for both parents and siblings. Ellen works dilligently, thoughtfully and with great patience. Ellen has spent countless hours with family meetings accomodating multiple time zones, always responding to our questions, calls and emails. Because I don't live locally, Ellen has been a great resource of available services on LI which has been key. Bottom line-she's a great attorney who truly loves what she does and it shows.

Great Experience
Five years ago my wife was diagnosed with early onset dimentia. I knew it was time to get my financials in order. A good friend recommended me to Ellen Victor. She was caring, knowledgeable and very reasonable. She advised me to set up a trust to protect our assets. Since then I have recommended her to all my friends. Many have used her and were all satisfied .
