One of New Jersey's First Elder Law Firms
Elder law as a legal specialty began around 1992. That is when McHugh & Macri began specializing in elder law in East Hanover, New Jersey. Since 1978, McHugh & Macri was a general law firm practicing primarily real estate law. Today, we focus our law practice on elder and disability law and related subjects. 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.
Elder law combines post‑age 55 senior issues into a single practice area which includes tax, estate and long-term care planning, real estate, Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid issues, financial planning and asset preservation. Since the home is the most important asset which our clients want to protect, our firm's prior 20-year real estate expertise is an important strength our lawyers bring to the practice of elder law.
Certified Elder Law Attorneys
Some law firms "dabble" in elder law. This can lead to more harm than good. There are many misconceptions and legal minefields in elder law, and our attorneys are often called upon to fix the mistakes the client or their financial or legal advisor made in prior planning. It is in your best interests to contact a certified elder law attorney from the start.
With 35 years of combined experience in elder law in New Jersey, you can rely on our advice to seek a more secure future for you and your loved ones. McHugh & Macri has successfully completed thousands of cases in the area of elder law and is ready to help you with your particular concern.
