Collins Family & Elder Law Group specializes in two critical and interconnected areas of law: Family Law and Elder Law. This focused approach allows us to develop deep expertise and provide comprehensive services tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities within these fields. Our key service areas include:

• Family Law: We understand that family law matters can be emotionally demanding and legally complex. Our family law services encompass a wide range of issues, including divorce and separation, child custody and support, alimony, equitable distribution of property, adoption, domestic violence protective orders, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators and experienced litigators, dedicated to protecting our clients' rights and advocating for their best interests during these challenging times. We strive to achieve amicable resolutions whenever possible, but we are also prepared to vigorously represent our clients in court when necessary.
• Elder Law: Elder law focuses on the unique legal needs of seniors and their families. At Collins Family & Elder Law Group, we provide comprehensive elder law services, including estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives), Medicaid planning and long-term care planning, guardianship and conservatorship proceedings, veterans' benefits, and addressing issues of elder abuse and exploitation. We are committed to helping seniors protect their assets, plan for their future care, and ensure their well-being and dignity are maintained.
• Estate Planning: Whether you are young or old, planning for the future is essential. Our estate planning services help individuals and families create comprehensive plans to manage their assets and provide for their loved ones. We assist with the drafting of wills, various types of trusts (e.g., revocable, irrevocable), powers of attorney for financial and healthcare decisions, and living wills. Our goal is to help you develop a personalized estate plan that reflects your wishes and minimizes potential legal complexities and tax burdens.
• Guardianship and Conservatorship: In situations where an individual is no longer able to manage their own affairs, whether due to age, illness, or disability, guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. We provide legal guidance and representation in these proceedings, helping families navigate the process of seeking legal authority to make decisions for their loved ones' care and finances. We approach these sensitive matters with compassion and a focus on protecting the individual's best interests.
• Special Needs Planning: Families with members who have special needs face unique legal and financial considerations. We offer specialized planning services to help these families secure their loved one's future, including the creation of special needs trusts, which can protect eligibility for essential government benefits while providing supplemental support. We understand the importance of long-term planning and work closely with families to develop tailored solutions.
