Welcome

The Law Office of Jay Feldman is a full-service law firm with particular expertise in the areas of special needs planning, elder law, and asset protection and preservation.

"Special needs" include those issues relating to the care and protection of vulnerable adults and children, the aged and the infirm, and people facing unique problems due to some disability of incapacity.

"Elder law" deals primarily with legal issues of the elderly: estate protection, health care, incapacity, and housing concerns. All are problem areas and may require specialized planning to insure that the "golden years" are not tarnished.

Special needs planning, elder law and asset protection and preservation are overarching concerns that may include the drafting and implementation of advance directives (powers of attorney, living wills, etc.), public benefits planning (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Benefits, etc.), health-care issues, issues relating to diminished capacity, and end-of-life planning and counseling. Our offices will help you navigate these seemingly overwhelming matters and choose the best option for your particular needs.

We also specialize in the administration of estates – from basic estate planning through probate and trust administration.

Our offices are open Monday through Friday and for your convenience evening and weekend appointments are available upon request. If you are unable to travel to our office for a consultation, we will set up an in-home or facility visit to meet with you.

We recognize that you may be concerned about your ability to pay substantial legal fees, and we are proud of our policy that tailors our fee schedule to meet your financial resources. We provide substantial pro bono legal services, as well as participate in public seminars, symposia, and other educational programs to improve public awareness of the unique problems of those with special needs.
