Have you planned for the future of your loved one with special needs?

At Littman Krooks LLP, a Special Needs Trust lawyer will help you with Medicaid Planning and planning for your loved one with special needs trusts and comprehensive estate planning. Special Needs Planning is one of our core practice areas. A Littman Krooks experienced Special Education Advocacy attorney can also help with Special Education Advocacy issues.

Our Westchester and Manhattan Special Needs Trust attorneys of Littman Krooks recognize that caregivers do not add up the cost of support and caring for an individual with a disability. Caregivers provide many services naturally and willingly to loved ones to help enhance their quality of life:

  • Advocate

  • Companion
  • Guardianship
  • Job coach
