Highly Recommend

Rajiiv Nagaich from Life Point Law took time to explain and guide me through all aspects of my parent's will, trust and their financial requests. He gave me contacts for further information in my search for housing and care for my aging father. I appreciate his genuine concern for my family, thorough... knowledge of the law and his kind, friendly manner. It is refreshing to work with a lawyer who not only understands the complexities of law but places the needs, desires and interests of his clients as a priority. I highly recommend him.

End of Life Planning

My wife, daughter, and I have been working with Rajiv on our end of life documents and plans. He is detailed and knowledgeable. I appreciate his perspective and think his Safe Harbor Trust concept is going to protect my assets.

The Complete Package

We are very pleased to give our highest recommendation for the services of Najiv Nagaich and Life Point Law. Rajiv has learned from experience the difficulties and frustration of caring for a failing elderly relative and the doubts and necessary actions in the aftermath of their death. Most reputab...le lawyers can handle the legal problems one encounters, but usually is not able or willing to help with the physical or mental health needs prior to death. Nor does the average lawyer have the resources, knowledge, and experience to effectively recommend those who might assist. Rajiv has woven together the legal, housing, and health concerns of aging adults into a sensible, comprehensive approach. This approach gives the client complete control in how he wants to live and die and offers him ways to make his death much less of a burden on others. We all will die, but some deaths can be better than others.

Life Planning Expert

Rajiv Nagaich and his associates at Life Point Law have been assisting my husband and I in developing a life plan for our remaining years. This is a process that entails much more than providing the necessary legal documents. There are decisions that we must make about legal, financial, medical an...d housing issues before our plan can be completed. This is not a fast process, and it requires effort and time. Rajiv has provided thorough discussion, guidance and assistance for each phase of planning including a family meeting to insure our children are knowledgeable with our plans, but ultimately it is up to us to put in the required time and make the sometimes difficult decisions to complete our life plan. Rajiv is not just organized and professional, he is also very personable and patient. He is a pleasure to work with.

Precise knowledge of law but understands family is most important!

I came across LifePoint Law as a referral from someone I trusted. My family and I were in a most difficult situation, taking care of a suddenly and gravely ill parent. Mr. Rajiv Nagaich and his amazingly dedicated staff set into motion immediately and helped us navigate with accuracy and impact, what... would have been a crisis for my family. We had received quite a bit of incorrect information, but in a single one-hour meeting with Mr. Nagaich and his staff, we knew we were in proper hands of people who not only knew the law thoroughly, but also valued the importance of family care above everything else. Their professionalism allowed us to focus our time on caring for my father.
