About Michael
Biography
I'm a solo practice lawyer (which means I will personally handle each client's calls, case and documents) in Mechanicsburg, PA and Rockland County, NY. I'm an Elder law Attorney with a business background in finance and a BA in Psychology. I'm focused in the areas of Elder Law including Estate Administration, Estate Planning, Guardianships, Trusts, Probate, Special Needs Trusts, Wills and Powers of Attorney. My primary office is located in Mechanicsburg, PA and I have a second location in Blauvelt NY, but I am available to travel throughout Central and Eastern PA and NY to visit clients who are incapacitated in their homes or facility. I also offer virtual consultations for family members in other states/locations.
