I am a Senior and am a bladder cancer survivor. Because of my treatment I have very little time when nature calls. I was speeding on the freeway in an attempt to make the next exit. The police officer had little understanding and I was give a citation for a significant amount over the speed limit. I contacted Katz Law and received an IMMEDIATE response. Caleb said "not-to-worry" and he and his team went to work on my behalf. Everything was handled in such a professional manner and the final resolution was in my favor. Katz Law IS THE BEST and they did exactly as was promised. Not good, but GREAT! DB, Illinois

Our brother died unexpectedly and shortly afterwards his long-time caretaker and the caretaker’s attorney produced a will that left our brother’s entire estate to the caretaker. My sister and I were surprised that our brother would not discuss such a big change in his estate plan with us beforehand and after talking to some of our brother’s friends, we were told that this will was suspicious and we needed to retain legal counsel to look into it. Thank Goodness we took their advice and were very fortunate to choose Trevor Lippman of O’Neil Cannon as our representative. My sister and I cannot say enough to praise the hard work and professionalism that Trevor demonstrated. As this was the first time my sister and I had ever been involved in a legal action, we needed a lot of support and explanation. Trevor's communication skills are second to none and he answered all our questions and guided us through all the issues as they developed. Our case was very difficult and required much time and effort to build the evidence showing that this will was not our brother’s work. With this body of evidence, we then entered mediation with the other party and were very successful, obtaining 88% of the multi-million dollar estate. More importantly, Trevor and his colleagues with O’Neil Cannon helped us avoid a lifetime of regret in not knowing what our brother’s true intentions were. Through their dedication and hard work, they gave us the truth about what happened. For this we will be forever grateful and can give Trevor Lippman our highest recommendations.

At first it seemed like a typical estate dispute, but we knew that here was something wrong with the fact that my brother would change his will so dramatically without letting us know. We had never had to retain an attorney and had many questions. Trevor carefully explained every aspect of the case as we went along and helped us understand the legal system. Trevor began the investigation and through many twists, turns and complications was able to discover that our concerns were justified and we were able to retain a significant part of the estate. I cannot say enough about Trevor. He is smart and hardworking, he digs deep into the facts, pulling layer after layer together to tell the true story and he was able to remember everything in this complicated case. He kept us informed of his progress and gave us excellent advice. He is stellar in the courtroom. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I hired Mr. Lippman for a litigation matter for which I obtained a highly successful result due to Mr. Lippman's outstanding litigation skills and strategy. Mr. Lippman is a whip smart and extremely diligent, reliable, conscientious, thorough and hardworking associate attorney specializing in litigation concerning trusts and estates. Working in concert with partner Carl Holborn, Mr. Lippman was able to develop and successfully execute a multi-faceted negotiation, litigation and settlement strategy concerning a complex legacy family trust. Throughout the several-month pendency of the matter, Mr. Lippman provided superb legal advice and representation. I was routinely impressed with Mr. Lippman’s comprehensive grasp of the legal as well practical and personal issues at stake, and with his excellent judgment, good common sense and consistently comprehensive and thoroughly-considered legal and practical advice considering all aspects of the problem. Mr. Lippman has a unique ability to see the big picture and to keep on top of the myriad details at the same time. He also continually keeps the client well-informed on the progress of the matter and is consistently available for in-depth consultation. Finally, Mr. Lippman is an excellent writer and oral communicator, and is extremely personable and an absolute pleasure to work with on every level. He is always a very strong advocate for his client's best interests, while at the same time providing highly practical, realistic and honest advice that the client needs to hear. In sum, I provide the highest possible recommendation for Mr. Lippman for any litigation matter.

In August of 2016 I hired Mark to handle updating my Trust and ensuring it more adequately reflected my wishes. Mark and his team did a solid job of not only meeting my needs, but ensured that it was far more robust than what the previous two attorneys at another Milwaukee firm had done. Mark is professional, thorough and knowledgeable on Trusts and provided me with a great sense of peace knowing that I now have a sound Trust. I have already recommended Mark to a few friends.

My husband and I met with Mark and his staff 3 weeks prior to going out of the country on vacation. We did not have a will in place. Mark explained all our options very thoroughly and how a trust would protect our assets. We were very happy with Mark and his staff. We now have peace of mind that our daughter and grandchildren will be taken care of in the future.

My husband and I talked for some time about changing our will to a trust. The process seemed overwhelming so we procrastinated. Our friends referred us to Mark Rogers and we are glad they did! Our initial meeting was about 3 hours. Mark, Troy and Stacy took their time explaining and diagramming the details of our trust. They made it easy to understand and were very patient with our endless number of questions. We were leaving on a trip in 3 weeks and hoped our trust could be completed before we left. Mark was able to accommodate our request and paperwork was signed days before our departure. Mark and his team were extremely responsive. Our phone calls were always returned the same day often within an hour. We highly recommend Mark Rogers.

Our elderly mother's needs were greater than we could handle as a family. Heather helped us with getting our mother enrolled in social and medical programs that allowed her to stay in her home while receiving the care she needed. Her work saved our family finances and our marriage. She was kind, thoughtful, considerate, compassionate and guided us in every step of the way. She seemed to have a broad and deep understanding of the law, but spoke to us about the laws in a manner that we all understood. Thanks Heather! Our family strongly recommends Heather Poster.

Stephen Lasky is a true professional. He has high integrity, empathy for his clients and keeps their needs in the forefront of decisions. He has compassion for people. When my father was living, he helped him understand Medicaid benefits for his wife and how to live his life alone without his spouse. Since my father’s passing, he is helping the family with the probate process. All of the work he has performed for us has been complex and quite trying. Stephen knows estate planning and Elder law issues. He is calm, which makes his client’s calm. These issues are difficult and emotional for families and he gets it. He listens. Stephen answers questions thoroughly and brings clarity to the table and has a deep understanding of his practice. He also knows business relationships start with trust; he began building trust with us in the way he treated our dear Dad. We appreciate his wisdom and counsel, Attorney Lasky. We would recommend Stephen without reservation.

Attorney Odrcic is professional, back in 2019 our naturalization was rejected due to the legal issue we had in the past. We talked to Davorin during the Covid time, he spent time to study and analyzed our case, and told us our case is not dead ended. At first we had doubts (we have waited the naturalization case for over 2 years) but we decided to go with him due to his professionalism and knowledge. After we hired him, he went through the exact legal process he explained, and we finally cleared the legal issue with the court. Davorin told us the next step is to wait three years to reapply the naturalization. We hired him again to fill the paperwork and prep us for the interview. In less than a month after the interview we were taking the oath. Davorin went through the almost impossible process and kept us in the loop all the way, and we ended up at the exact place Davorin promised us. It is a long process and we had him with us all the way. We even invited Davorin to attend the oath ceremony as a gratitude to him.

Mindy was incredibly knowledgeable about my situation and explained everything clearly about my case, always keeping me updated throughout the process and putting in incredible work which gave me a huge peace of mind. I was fighting a lot of felony’s and facing major time as I was already a recent prior felon. She put forth dedication and determination to fight for me unlike ANY lawyer I have ever had represent me. Her strong work resulted in an incredible outcome that I didn’t think was even possible with what I was facing. I have had 6+ lawyers in the last 3/4 years and would only and highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance. She is truly the best in the business. She doesn't look at her clients as “just another client” like alot of lawyers do. She goes out of her way to help you out with anything you ask her. She truly and deeply cares about the person as a whole and believes everyone should have a 2nd chance at life. Thank you again for everything Mindy.

What an Elder Law Lawyer Can Do for You

An elder law lawyer specializes in legal issues that affect older adults, their families, and caregivers. These lawyers handle a broad range of topics, including estate planning, Medicaid and Medicare, long-term care planning, guardianship, elder abuse, and retirement planning. The goal of an elder law lawyer is to protect the rights, finances, and well-being of elderly individuals and to help them plan for future healthcare and financial security.

If you or a loved one is aging and facing challenges related to healthcare, finances, or legal matters, an elder law lawyer can provide essential guidance to protect your rights and interests as you age.

When Should I Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?

Hiring an elder law lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where older adults need help with legal, financial, or healthcare-related decisions. Common reasons to hire an elder law lawyer include:

  • Estate planning: If you want to create or update a will, set up trusts, or ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, an elder law lawyer can help with comprehensive estate planning.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: If you need help qualifying for Medicaid to cover long-term care or need advice on navigating Medicare benefits, a lawyer can guide you through the application process and protect your assets.
  • Long-term care planning: If you’re concerned about paying for nursing home care or assisted living, a lawyer can help you create a financial plan and explore options for government assistance.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: If a family member is unable to make decisions due to age-related cognitive issues, an elder law lawyer can assist in setting up legal guardianship or conservatorship to ensure their care.
  • Elder abuse and exploitation: If you or a loved one is experiencing physical, emotional, or financial abuse, an elder law lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the abuse and recover damages.
  • Retirement planning: Elder law lawyers can assist with planning for retirement, including managing pensions, Social Security, and other retirement income.
  • Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member who requires special care, an elder law lawyer can help create trusts or other legal arrangements to ensure their long-term financial and healthcare needs are met.

What Does an Elder Law Lawyer Do?

An elder law lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help older adults and their families navigate the complexities of aging, healthcare, and estate planning. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Drafting wills and trusts: Creating legal documents that outline how an individual’s assets will be distributed after death, ensuring that their wishes are honored.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: Helping clients protect their assets while qualifying for government benefits to cover healthcare and long-term care costs.
  • Establishing guardianships: Assisting families in setting up guardianship or conservatorship for loved ones who are unable to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacity.
  • Protecting against elder abuse: Investigating claims of elder abuse or financial exploitation and representing the victim in legal actions to stop the abuse and seek compensation.
  • Planning for long-term care: Developing strategies to cover the costs of nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care options without exhausting the elder’s financial resources.
  • Managing probate and estate administration: Guiding families through the probate process to ensure that the decedent’s assets are distributed according to the law and their wishes.
  • Setting up advance directives: Helping clients establish healthcare directives and powers of attorney to ensure their medical and financial decisions are carried out if they become incapacitated.

How Are Elder Law Lawyers Paid?

Elder law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many elder law lawyers charge by the hour, especially for tasks such as drafting documents, handling legal disputes, or providing ongoing legal advice. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as drafting a will or setting up a trust, some lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the estate plan.
  • Retainer: For long-term legal representation, such as managing a trust or handling guardianship matters, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal work.
  • Contingency fee: In some elder abuse or financial exploitation cases, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for the client. This fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.

Be sure to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how you will be billed and what the total cost of services might be.

How Much Does an Elder Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an elder law lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estate planning: Drafting basic documents, such as a will or power of attorney, may cost between $500 and $2,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s assets and wishes.
  • Complex estate planning: Setting up more advanced estate plans, such as revocable or irrevocable trusts, Medicaid planning, or special needs trusts, can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: Legal fees for setting up guardianship or conservatorship often range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and whether disputes arise.
  • Medicaid planning: Legal fees for Medicaid planning can range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the level of asset protection needed and the complexity of the individual’s financial situation.

Always ask for an estimate of fees during your initial consultation to ensure you understand how much the legal services will cost.

Top Questions to Ask an Elder Law Lawyer

Before hiring an elder law lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise needed to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with elder law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's estate planning, Medicaid applications, or elder abuse claims.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the best approach for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your situation and what legal strategies the lawyer recommends.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Whether it’s drafting an estate plan or setting up a guardianship, ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly.
  6. What documents should I bring to the consultation?
    Ask the lawyer what documentation or information you should prepare for your consultation, such as medical records, financial statements, or prior legal documents.

How to Check the Credibility of an Elder Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable elder law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for elder law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in elder law and have experience with cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on elder law issues.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications or affiliations with organizations such as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), which can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to elder law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with an elder law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Existing estate planning documents: If you have a will, trust, or power of attorney in place, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
  • Financial records: Provide details of your assets, including bank accounts, investments, real estate, and retirement accounts, as well as any debts.
  • Medical information: If the case involves guardianship or Medicaid planning, bring relevant medical records that detail the individual's health condition and care needs.
  • Insurance policies: Bring information about health insurance, long-term care insurance, and any other relevant policies.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about your legal needs, the process, and the lawyer’s fees.
  • List of family members or beneficiaries: Prepare a list of the individuals you want to include in your estate plan or who will be affected by the legal process.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and receive the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
