Clients who use our services often seek guidance on how to:

• navigate the Social Security system;
• understand their rights under benefit programs, including, Medicare or Medicaid;
• navigate the Veterans benefits alternatives;

Elder Law discussions typically raise questions in the following companion areas:

We offer counseling, guidance and assist families in learning how to preserve their assets with both pre-planning and crisis guidance.  We navigate families through the processes and procedures to qualify for benefit programs, including Medicare enrollment, Medicaid qualification, Waiver Service eligibility and Veterans benefit pensions.
