What our clients are saying
I was impressed that NJ Elder Care Law Center took considerable time doing a free consultation to clearly explain their service, and offered advice on how we should proceed with my elderly mother's care. I never realized how complicated and costly elder care can be. My siblings and I are grateful and at ease that we have the NJ Elder Care Law Center guiding us through the maze of elder care law now and into the future.

My family needed a knowledgeable elder care lawyer to determine the best options for my aging and ailing parents. NJ Elder Care Law Center was recommended to us and they did an outstanding job in reviewing our options, quickly reallocating my parents’ assets, and qualifying them for additional benefits. My father is a WWII veteran and Eric also identified additional Veteran’s benefits that could further help my family. Most importantly, they were very sensitive, patient, and responsive to my entire family. They made sure my mom understood every step of the process. It was a pleasure to work with NJ Elder Care Law Center.
