Practice areas
- Divorce and separation: 34%
Divorce is a scary word for many people. Divorces are most often filed when you and your spouse are not able to agree upon the issues of your marriage. These issues include custody of your children, child support, spousal support, payment of debt and property division. It is a lengthy process lasting anywhere from six months to eighteen months. If you are considering divorce, please contact our firm to set up a consultation.
- Elder law: 33%
In the Tri-State area, a nursing home bed can range between $6,500-$12,500 per month. Because health insurance or Medicare will not pay for an extended stay at a nursing home, you must determine how this care will be paid. For many the best answer is by utilizing the benefits of Medicaid. This is especially true if adult children are facing spending their own savings to care for their elderly parents.

- Estate planning: 33%
There are many people who do not feel an estate plan is necessary, especially the unmarried or those without children or significant assets. This is incorrect thinking. Regardless of the degree of wealth or the situation, everyone can benefit from an estate plan. An estate plan that is catered to your needs can help prepare for the potential of being physically incapacitated so as to effectively distribute your assets at death.
