I am an estate planning and elder law attorney with offices on Long Island. In addition to extensive estate planning and elder law services, I also provide tax and financial coaching to individuals and families. My primary focus is helping families protect their assets from the high cost of nursing care if they become ill, and addressing hard-to-discuss topics like how to avoid family in-fighting by preparing a comprehensive legacy wealth plan, arranging care for heirs with special needs and anticipating issues that may affect children and grandchildren. I incorporate all of these experiences, along with my knowledge of the law, into my weekly blog on Forbes.com. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys, a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the American Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.
