Protecting the Rights of Senior Citizens with Elder Law Services

We Represent Senior Citizens in Various Legal Areas

Our legal team in College Station is equipped with the knowledge and resources to effectively assist you with:

Estate Planning

Establishing a will or trust can ensure your wishes are respected and your assets are protected.

Medicaid Eligibility & Health Care Planning

When the time comes, many senior citizens are not prepared to handle the high costs associated with long-term care. We can help you obtain benefits under Medicaid to ensure you receive the care you need while preserving your financial stability.

Age Discrimination in Employment

Far too often, senior citizens are discriminated against when seeking employment, or within their current workplace. This can include being fired, receiving unfair compensation, or being denied a promotion. Discrimination can significantly impact your ability to support yourself.

Guardianship

In the case that an individual becomes incapable of making sound choices, the court may grant guardianship to another. The "guardian" becomes the decision maker. We can represent clients who seek guardianship protection as well as those who wish to assume a guardianship role.

Elder Abuse

Physical, mental, sexual, or financial abuse at the hands of a caretaker or family member can constitute as elder abuse. Whether through neglect or intentionally causing harm, we can hold the responsible party accountable.

Fraud Recovery

As financial abuse becomes more prevalent, senior citizens can significantly benefit from formal legal representation if they have fallen victim to fraud.

Social Security & Disability Claims

If you are unable to seek gainful employment and need help applying or have already applied for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), we can help you obtain the benefits you are entitled to.

With extensive knowledge of family law and probate and estate planning, as well as a compassionate approach, Mr. Michel and his team can provide the efficient and effective legal services you need.
