In addition to serving the full slate of traditional estate planning goals (e.g. making a will to say what happens to my stuff when I die; naming a person to help me with my finances using a Power of Attorney, etc), my practice has as a particular focus protecting families and assets from extraordinary expenses associated with long term care. This includes pre-planning to protect assets from long nursing home stays and crisis planning when a person is already in a nursing home, or about to need such care. I am also accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs to assist veterans and their families in understanding and accessing their benefits. My practice makes a particular effort to assist wartime veterans and their spouses in obtaining what is called "Improved Pension" or "Death Pension," which can help a person when they need the "aid and attendance" of another to supplement their care. We're not a society that talks frankly about the costs associated with aging and having increased care needs. People come to me concerned that they could lose everything if they or their spouse becomes ill. Sometimes a person's adult child will come to me for advice on how to help "dad" access the care they need, while still leaving something for "mom," who is relatively healthy and able to live independently. My job is most fulfilling when I can see the strain and anxiety that these concerns create start to lift as people learn that there are options. My best days are when we help someone obtain a VA pension benefit, or a Medicaid application is approved, and a spouse or child can worry a little less about the finances, and just focus on the emotional and other needs of their loved one.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

A personal injury lawyer will advocate for your legal rights if you’ve been hurt in an accident at work or in daily life, have suffered from medical malpractice, or are struggling to have your insurance carrier cover your needs. It may be helpful to talk with two or three lawyers before selecting one. When looking for a personal injury lawyer, research their reviews and make sure former clients have had good experiences with them. Next, make sure the personal injury lawyer has experience and proven success winning cases similar to yours. Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to provide services in your state. When you find a qualified personal injury lawyer with whom you want to work, freely discuss payment and fees before any work begins. Most lawyers offer a free consultation to learn what your case is about and explain their rates. Personal injury attorneys typically receive a percentage of your settlement (called a contingency fee), so they are paid after the trial or case is complete. Keep in mind that some attorneys have fees that you must pay even if you don’t win your trial. It’s important to understand these details before work begins so you don’t have any unhappy surprises later. Lastly, it’s wise to choose a personal injury lawyer that you have confidence in and with whom you can communicate openly and honestly.

A personal injury lawyer fights on your behalf if you’ve been injured physically, psychologically, economically or in reputation. This injury may be the result of neglect or malicious intent of another person, or it could be at the hands of a business, government or other entity. Personal injury lawyers specialize in tort law, which is the law of civil wrongs like car accidents, company wrongdoing, unlawful imprisonment and more.

To become qualified to be a personal injury lawyer in the United States, a person must earn a bachelor’s degree, followed by a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from a law school. Most states then require the person to pass the bar exam to become licensed to practice law. Unlike many attorneys who require a retainer, personal injury lawyers often work on contingency fees. This means that in lieu of payment upfront, they receive an agreed-upon percentage of the settlement in case of a win.
