We provide advice, representation and support to Virginia, Maryland and District families and individuals from all walks of life. As lawyers who practice elder law, we help our clients find solutions to problems presented by the high cost of long-term care and health care, the complex challenges of aging and the uncertainty of family transitions.

The field of elder law addresses the needs of seniors and persons with disabilities and special needs.
