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.

Compassionate, Experienced, Professional

From the very beginning, it was clear that Rajiv Nagaich and Life Point Law put their clients needs first! As we went through the estate and life plan with Rajiv, I was amazed at how he had thought of every detail to achieve our goals. He truly went above and beyond by offering research, referrals,... guidance, unparalleled professionalism and his years of personal experience. And, the new online Portal is an amazing resource that the family can access and refer to for years to come. The whole family feels comfortable knowing that we have an estate plan, as well as a plan for living, that meets all our needs.

Professional, caring attorney and firm

Rajiv Nagaich and Life Point Law are the best! Rajiv and his associates helped my father plan for his care (in the hopefully unlikely event,) that he becomes disabled or needs rehab. My fathers wishes will be shared with the family ahead of time (care at home!) and it will lessen the stress and bur...den on the family. Thank you Rajiv and Life Point Law!

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.

Comprehensive Life Planning--Not Just Wills and Trusts

My wife and I are in the initial stages of building our LifePlan with Rajiv. While this will be an extensive process lasting 9 to 12 months and can be a daunting task, Rajiv's process is so thorough and methodical, it gives us confidence. There are SO many aspects and facets of our lives to cover, de...cisions to make, plans to develop, it could easily overwhelm. But Rajiv simply takes us through the process, listening at length, learning about us as he tailors his program to work specifically for us. In short, he instills confidence and gently, confidently, leads the way.
