Protecting Medicaid Medicaid is based on income and assets; if one has too much then one loses eligibility. As an attorney, I can help to shelter large incomes such as Social Security payment. I will work to protect initial and ongoing eligibility for people with disabilities

Alternatives to guardianship guardianship is court imposed with reporting requirements. As an attorney, I can help with completing the same outcome without using the courts. I will assist people with disabilities to plan for the possibility of incompetence so that guardianship is not the only alternative.

Assisting with Long Term Planning as an attorney I can help prepare legal documents designed to protect the family and the person with a disability. These documents must be carefully written to protect the person with a disability.

Helping with Medical Planning if a person with a disability plans for the future possibility that he/she may become incompetent, then the plan takes precedence over any court action. As an Attorney I will help to place the medical wishes of a person with a disability in writing to assure that those wishes are carried out.
