Known for our dedication, perseverance, and unmatched expertise, we have built a reputation as the go-to firm for challenging cases –especially when it comes to navigating and outsmarting Managed Long-Term Care plans. When other attorneys face complex Medicaid cases, they trust us to handle them with the care and attention their clients deserve.

• Stay up to date with ongoing changes in Medicaid law and adapt strategies as necessary.
• Collaborate with colleagues and foster a positive, team-driven work environment.
