The Ruela Law Firm

The Ruela Law Firm is a Garden City elder law practice that works with seniors and their families in Nassau County on Long Island. Principal attorney and founder Monica P. Ruela, J.D., focuses the firm on the legal side of aging, including Medicaid planning for long-term care, guidance through the Medicaid application process, and strategies to protect assets while securing needed care.

The firm also prepares estate plans, guides families through probate and estate administration in Surrogate's Court, handles guardianship proceedings for vulnerable loved ones, and offers special needs planning for families supporting a disabled member. Its approach looks beyond the paperwork to care planning, family dynamics and the emotional strain that aging can bring, with plans tailored to each client.
