What is Elder Law & How Can Legal Representation Help Me?

Elder law is a vital aspect of legal practice, especially in Florida, where a significant portion of the population is 65 and older. It focuses on caring for the unique needs of older adults. This includes planning for healthcare, managing long-term care costs, establishing power of attorney, establishing guardianships, and protecting against elder abuse. Our team helps with legal tools and advice to ensure your well-being and security.

Healthcare Planning

As you age, making healthcare decisions is crucial. We assist in creating advanced healthcare directives that outline your wishes for medical treatment in situations where you might not be able to express them yourself. 

Long-Term Care and Medicaid Planning

We understand the financial challenges of long-term care; whether in a nursing home or through in-home care, the financial obligation can be substantial. We can help you plan for these costs, including understanding and navigating Medicaid eligibility, which can significantly reduce the financial burden.

Power of Attorney

In situations where you or your loved one becomes unable to advocate for themselves and make decisions about their financial, legal, medical, or other healthcare-related, an individual may be appointed with a Power of Attorney to make these decisions on behalf of the person needing protection.

Medical Power of Attorney

We can help you appoint someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become medically incapacitated and cannot do so yourself.

Guardianship

In cases where older adults or yourself cannot make decisions for themselves, we can help to appoint a responsible person to make decisions on behalf of the senior, ensuring their well-being and protecting their rights. 


The state offers Floridians access to the Florida Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program, which helps protect the rights of those living in long-term care facilities, ensuring they receive fair and quality treatment.

Elder Abuse Protection

We help file protective injunctions and financial oversight to protect seniors from physical, emotional, and financial abuse. 


If you suspect an elder is being abused, please reach out to us and connect with the Florida Abuse Hotline at 1-800-96-ABUSE (1-800-962-2873). Press 2 to report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a vulnerable adult. 

What is Estate Planning, and How Can It Help Me?

We can help you establish a personalized estate plan to ensure your loved ones are protected if you become incapacitated or pass away. Your estate plan is not one size fits all. Let us help you review your family and financial situation and best advise you how to achieve your estate planning goals.

Wills and Trusts: How Can You Help Me?

A will is a legal document that provides instructions on how to distribute property to beneficiaries after your death.

A trust is a legal document that transfers your property to an account to be managed by another person.

We can help you create a legacy and provide for your loved ones by having your important documents, including your will or trust, in order.
