These are the values I hold as an elder law attorney. Whether I'm helping a client navigate Medicaid or establish a Wispact special needs trust, I strive to make each legal matter as short, simple, human, and correct as possible. I help elderly clients and their families plan for long-term care. For most of us, that means planning for Medicaid, which is the de facto long-term care insurance policy for the middle class.
Whether you're planning 5 years ahead or your family is facing a long-term care crisis, I'm here to explain the complicated rules and give you clarity. If you or a loved one have a disability and receive means-tested government benefits-such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid-you need special planning.

I didn't always know how, exactly, I would do that. But when I found elder law, I knew it was a good fit. Now I use my skills with words and rules to help families navigate bureaucracy and care for their loved ones. In my spare time I like to read, write, and spend time with my wife and two young sons (Miles and Jonathan).
Also known as Medical Assistance in Wisconsin, most families first learn about Medicaid when an elderly loved one can no longer live at home. They start looking at assisted living facilities and nursing homes-and at bills of $5,000-$10,000 per month. They know the savings won't last forever.
Thankfully, Medicaid pays for the long-term care of elderly people, even those who have middle-class income and assets, once their assets fall below a certain level.The fact is that a third of people turning age 65 today will deplete their savings during their lives and need to rely on Medicaid. It has become the de facto long-term care insurance policy for the middle class.
