Whether in our law offices, through the courts, at your home or nursing home, we provide seniors and their families with quality legal support and a network of providers to fill their many needs through estate planning, litigation involving elder issues, conservatorships, Medi-Cal planning, special needs planning and elder abuse.
Since 1978, we have helped over 4,000 people save their homes and assets from loss due to the overwhelming expense of hospital and nursing home care. We plan their estates in such a way that their beneficiaries receive family assets economically. And we help those who have money or services due to them claim and receive what is truly and rightfully theirs.
