We are so very grateful for the excellent services of Collin Ritzinger. His ability to clearly frame our needs (and even needs we had not thought of) in the estate documents was invaluable. We also greatly appreciated his warmth and the way he put things in understandable language when he spoke with us.

I was looking to setup a special needs trust for my brother and I know very little about what I needed to do. Attorney Ritzinger was able to provide me with the knowledge I needed in order to determine what is best for my brother. Thank you!

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.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and I knew that at some point in time I'd need financial assistance so my retirement savings won't be totally depleted. With our health care support changing rapidly and minimal support from our county ADRC, I needed somebody that has the knowledge of the Medicaid regulations. Carol Wessels presented several classes to an Alzheimer's Support Group and gave me enough information to think that we might be approved for Medicaid assistance. She gave me the guidance I needed to gather the information for her office to complete the application and respond back to many additional questions that came back from this application. What a relief to have her support and eventually accepted for Medicaid assistance.

Carol is very knowledgeable and empathetic. She has the ability to look at the whole picture and give the family a plan.
I met with Carol when I was overwhelmed with the changes in my husband, due to dementia. Her calm demeanor and kindness to my husband touched my heart. She knows how to relate well to those with Alzheimer's. Without her, the Medicaid application and process would have been daunting. I highly recommend her!

I recently had to seek legal counsel from Jane for a severe elder abuse case that I was involved in with helping the client. I have worked with lawyers in the past for other reasons. I have never had such caring, personal, attentive care toward my situation from a lawyer. Jane goes the extra mile to get things done for everybody involved in the situation. Jane makes difficult, challenging, legal information easy to understand for those of us who have no idea how this part of the legal system works. She takes calls anytime you may have to call in moments of panic! If I had a question and just needed to be put at ease, Jane always was ready to take my call and listen to my concerns and do her best to ease my worry. I never thought I would be put in a situation such as this in my life and don't wish this to happen to anyone, but Jane made this horrific battle less terrifying as quickly as she could. She is exceptionally easy to work with and any info she needs from you she explains in great detail so you can rest assured you're doing everything exactly the way you need to. She goes above and beyond to show her compassion to help people especially the elderly in this terrible position. In the future, if I require ANY legal help, my first and only call will be to contact Jane Miller.

I've had Jane Miller for estate planning for myself. She advised me to be specific in certain areas and explained way. I was very satisfied with the results. I also needed her at another time for a family matter helping a loved one that resulted in a restraining order. She is so understanding and helpful of stressful events and has a calming and caring effect on you and gets you through it. She is always available. She is so compassionate about her clients. Another time I needed her for elder abuse and is still helping with that. She is so professional and yet treats you like family. She gets things done in a timely matter and is very sensitive to your needs. She is protective of her clients. Her knowledge on how to get the job done the right way is amazing. You will find her very ethical and she will go above and beyond to meet your needs and expectations.

When looking into establishing a Will, an Individual Trust, and an Irrevocable Trust I found attorney Charles Williams both knowledgeable and educational as to the implementation of each.
Over the years he has guided me thru the changes and updates regarding these in order to best service the original intent.
With the recent passing of my mother Chuck has overseen the closure of these Trusts and I intend to utilize his knowledge to prepare additional Trusts in the near future.
I recommend him based on his professionalism and his understanding of the laws governing Trusts and Wills.

The Grosskopf & Burch Law Firm has helped my family out several times recently. If I could give them 10 stars, I would have.
We were able to get an appointment in a timely manner. The fees they charged did not break the bank. The advice and services they provided were spot on.
The office staff was awesome.
I really found the ability to do Zoom meetings was a time-saver.
I live out of town and the rest of my family is scattered around the state. Zoom made it possible to use a high-quality Law without having to drive hundreds of miles to see an attorney. Thank you!!!!

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.

Sarah was extremely helpful with my case and I absolutely recommend her. I was confident in her every step of the way and never doubted my decision of hiring her. As the tenant in this case, I never felt powerless during the proceedings with Sarah as my attorney - even during the long-winded and difficult mediation and following trial. Sarah was wonderful to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again if the need ever arose.

I retained Attorney Schubert's services for a very emotionally difficult divorce. During my initial consultation, he explained the different options available (mediation, collaborative or traditional litigation) so that I could choose what would work best for my individual situation. I was previously unaware there were "options". Attorney Schubert was also very professional when dealing with my soon to be ex-spouse...much more so that I was able to be! It was such a relief to have someone to speak on my behalf who wouldn't make things worse.
Attorney Schubert demonstrated great compassion during the entire process. He realizes the level of stress and emotional strain people go through during divorce and how it can affect decision-making, so he explained all of the steps involved very thoroughly and also provided a binder of detailed information to further assist me when talking with trusted friends and relatives. This relieved a lot of anxiety surrounding what to expect with court appearances, etc. I felt as though he was working with me, not only to help me understand what to expect during the process and why, but also to help me make a smoother transition to life post-divorce. Attorney Schubert made a horrible situation tolerable for me and it was a smooth a process as divorce can be.

Mr Geraldson was appointed by the State of Wisconsin to represent our son on several charges fabricated against him by a former girlfriend. We had concerns about State appointed attorneys because of past experience where they did not work out but with Mr Geraldson things were definitely different. Mr Geraldson was extremely knowledgeable and alert to every detail of both the laws and the evidence and when he put his skills to work the Jury came back in just a short period of time with a NOT GUILTY plea. If you are in need of an attorney I would highly recommend giving Mr Geraldson call.

Angela was so helpful getting a power of attorney and other documents prepared for my family. She was so knowledgeable, eager and thorough with questions, and always willing to help. Being a new mom herself, when I no-called-no-showed an appointment because I misunderstood the time and place, she was more than gracious with me when I called sheepishly to see what I'd done wrong. She was so wonderful to work with - definitely recommend her!

After moving from Michigan to Wisconsin in late 2019, one of my top priorities was to revisit my Estate Planning Documents that were completed in Michigan with my family attorney there. My goal was to ensure that my documents complied with Wisconsin law.
This project was a special priority for me since my wife had passed away in March of 2019, and my intent was to locate a competent attorney who specialized in Estate Planning. So I started making telephone calls to numerous attorneys in this area listed in the Yellow Pages. I had many questions for them. Finally, I found the Frozena Law Firm. After asking the receptionist several questions, I made an appointment.
After my first appointment and having a very informative and productive meeting with Angela Frozena, who was very congenial and very knowledgeable. She briefed me regarding what additional information I must provide her, so we setup a future appointment for after I returned from vacation in Europe in three weeks.
Upon returning from Europe, I returned to Frozena Law Firm for my second appointment. At this appointment, Angela had already received the documents from my former attorney in Michigan, and had the draft of my new estate plan prepared, and sent the documents via encrypted email to my home in Racine. After reviewing the draft documents, I returned them to the firm for finalization.
At my final appointment, everything was organized and Angela had already made arrangements for the witnesses to be present. Everything went so smoothly, and I was impressed with Angela's knowledge, efficiency, sincerity and her positive attitude. Her professionalism is second to none. And along the way, Angela and I communicated via telephone and email.
I was so impressed with the courtesy and respect shown to me, that I am happy to share my experiences with Angela, and to highly recommend the Frozena Law Firm to anyone in need of competent, efficient estate planning services.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What is the best approach for my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your situation and what legal strategies the lawyer recommends. -
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. -
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. -
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.
