What our clients are saying
I felt overwhelmed before speaking with NJ Elder Care Law Center about my husband. Their professional, yet friendly demeanor helped me to see there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Your compassion and understanding in such a difficult time is very comforting, especially when the business side of a loved one's passing needs to be addressed. Knowing you are a phone call away to handle an unforeseen problem has brought instant relief. That someone has my back, guiding and protecting the estate, means more than words can express. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

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.
