New York Elder Law Group

NY Elder Law Group is an elder law and estate planning firm in Garden City that has served families since 1997. It was founded by attorney Lori R. Somekh, who has more than 40 years of experience in elder law and estate planning. The firm's core work is Medicaid planning, helping clients qualify for coverage of nursing home or in-home care while keeping as much of their savings as possible. It also prepares wills, trusts and other estate planning documents, handles powers of attorney and health care directives, and helps families plan ahead for long-term care costs. The attorneys focus on middle-class families who earn too much for immediate public benefits yet cannot easily absorb the cost of care. The firm serves Nassau County, the five boroughs and nearby communities, and Lori Somekh is the author of a guide to Medicaid home care in New York.
