Who we are
Our firm is unique in that our services extend beyond the realm of the law. Our team of professionals includes a social worker, a nurse, a medicaid specialist, a probate/fiduciary specialist, and an estate planning paralegal so we can provide expert legal, financial and social services for elders and their families.
What we do
We help you protect what you have earned, to use as you intended. In doing so we help assure you and those you love that your overall well-being is a priority. Our legal services exclusively specialize in the area of elder law.

- We work closely with area providers including nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, hospitals, elder agencies, Social Security, the Veteran’s Administration, Medicaid/Masshealth, area banks and other community resources.
