The Time to Plan for the Future is Now
With each passing year, the baby‑boomer generation continues to advance in age. Some of us will face a catastrophic illness and many of us will need nursing home care. For a family going through a crisis, the experience can be overwhelming. The time to plan for the future is now, and an experienced certified elder law attorney (CELA) can guide the way.
Since 1978, the lawyers at McHugh & Macri in East Hanover, New Jersey, have been providing help and guidance to individuals and families in need. For the past 17 years, our lawyers have focused on disability and elder law.
Don McHugh and Vince Macri are two of only 325 attorneys nationwide who are certified in elder law (CELA) by the National Elder Law Foundation.
