At Simasko Law we provide a broad range of legal services; practicing most areas of law to meet all of our client's needs. However, we are probably best known for our work in "Elder Law" - which we consider an interesting term. The truth of the matter is, no matter what phase of life you're in, having a legal strategy in place is one of the smartest moves you can make.
It's how you can safeguard your family, your assets, and your wishes in any situation. Our experts will guide you through the VA aid and attendance benefits process to make sure you receive the benefits you or your spouse have earned. Elder Law encompasses assisted living and nursing home care, planning and qualifying for Medicaid, asset protection, wills and trusts, powers of attorney and advance directives (living wills).

Services
Simasko Law offers services in nearly all aspects of law, including the very specialized and unique focus of Elder Law. Elder Law encompasses assisted living and nursing home care, planning and qualifying for Medicaid, asset protection, wills and trusts, powers of attorney and advance directives (living wills).
This approach allows you to share in market growth while guarding you from future market losses. The goal is to ensure that you don't outlive your assets. With over 20 years of Estate planning and Medicaid planning, Simasko Law takes great pride in helping people protect the assets they have worked so hard to obtain.
Estate Planning details include the decisions you've made to provide for your family after you're gone. This eliminates uncertainties in a very difficult time and includes a variety of devices including Wills & Trusts, Living Wills, beneficiary designations, powers of attorney, final arrangements, and more.
Simply put, Wills and Trusts are documents that spell out exactly who will make important decisions for you in the future. Laws do not protect your family, wishes, or finances in the event of an unforeseen tragedy. A Living Will tells doctors and family members your wishes about care should you become incapacitated.
There are many misconceptions regarding Medicaid law and long-term care issues. Seniors and their families often arrive at our office worried and confused as a result of struggling to understand unfamiliar legal terms and areas of law. And with good reason - their future depends on it. You need a highly qualified attorney to guide you through the legal complexities of elder care and potentially devastating nursing home costs.

I called to request an appointment as my Financial Advisor suggest to prepare our Trust and the lady who answered the phone had very poor people skills because all I ask was to use the same attorney than my Advisor's father and she got into this private information relase and that she won't release that to me. I never asked to release that information all I wanted was to use the same attorney than my Advisor's father. She was no professional by any means. So it is unfortunate that now the lost a client over this.

I have to say my experience with this law firm has been nothing but excellent & 5 stars!! James Simansko treats you like family! He is a very good lawyer & knows his stuff & knows many judges in Macomb County!! His assistant Angel I can't express how smart she is & very dedicated to James Simansko's clients! You won't be disappointed!! I would recommend hiring him for any court cases for probate court or making a will or criminal law cases or legal advice for your loved ones!! He won my case in probate court which was a very difficult case & seemed impossible !! I had many sleepless nights !! But

Professional, informative, thorough and friendly are just a few words to describe my first consult with Patrick Simasko to determine my first steps for my parent's Medicaid application. His legal advice was, surprisingly, not to hire him! He called himself, "the world's worst salesperson," after assessing my family's case and determining that we truly didn't need legal help. Now THAT is rare in this world, and says everything I need to know about Pat's character. He demonstrated that he was out for the best interest of his client. Kudos! I would definitely use his services in the future. Thank

I met with them in the office to discuss my fathers small estate. To me it felt like they did not want to be bothered with a small estate and I was wasting their time. Afterwards I called the office on several occasions, left messages that were never returned. Sorry I wasted my and their time. Yes, the estate was small but you did not have to give me the cold shoulder. If they did not want to take it on they could of been honest and upfront from the get go.

An exceptional law firm that delivered everything they promised. We met with James Simasko and his firm 6 years ago for estate planning for our Uncle who then needed assisted living. The Simasko staff set him up with will, trust and even helped him obtain a Veteran's pensipn benefit which we hadn't been aware of. This benefit has been the main reason our Uncle was able to meet the added costs pf assisted living, bringing him over $100,000 over this period. We are now settling our Uncle's estate and are happy to find each element of the estate is able to be rrsolved exactly as the Simasko firm had
