Our certified Elder Law attorneys provide hands-on assistance throughout the planning process, as well as represent you if litigation is needed. We leave no stone unturned in getting you the protection you need.

In order to serve you with the highest quality of counsel possible, Linda Ershow-Levenberg and Gene Rosner, our firm’s Elder Law attorneys, are certified in Elder Law by the National Elder Law Foundation, the ABA-approved organization recognized by the NJ Supreme Court.

Of the more than 77,000 licensed attorneys in the State of New Jersey, only 46 are certified elder law attorneys. Since the mid-1980’s, as seniors are living longer and end-of-life costs are increasing higher and higher, the field of Elder Law has expanded and evolved. As family members age, critical turning points in elder law and elder care arise.

To preserve assets to the greatest extent permitted by law, and protect a quality of life, certain steps need to be taken. Our job as elder law attorneys is to make sure you and your loved ones will be protected when you or they can no longer take care of themselves.

Powers of Attorney Guardianship Wills & Trusts Patients' Rights Health Care Directives ("Living Wills")

Medicaid Planning Medicaid Applications & Appeals Nursing Home Admissions & Contracts Special Needs Planning Real Estate Transactions

Our elder law attorneys will identify the need for Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Directives ("Living Wills"), Trusts or Guardianship when the elderly are unable to speak for themselves due to a medical crisis or if their quality of life or mental capacity is diminished. You may need to apply for government benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security Disability. Our elder law attorneys will help you with the application process and represent you in your appeal if your benefits are denied.

Medicaid, Long Term Care, and Nursing Home Planning: Until it is needed, most people are unaware that Medicare and most private health insurance policies do not cover what is needed in the way of "custodial" care such as nursing home care. Our elder law attorneys help you plan for the financing of assisted living or nursing home care in order to preserve your hard-earned assets.

Special Needs Trusts can protect the income and resources of Medicaid recipients who are under age 65. Contact us to discuss your personal situation.
