Elder Law Attorney in Chester County, PA

(What You Need to Know to Protect Your Legal Rights in Pennsylvania)

The purpose of this section of ThePeoplesLawFirm.com is to provide you with important information about nursing home and elder law in Pennsylvania so you can learn about and protect your legal rights.

If you or someone you know will likely need nursing home care, you need to know what’s at stake. In 2017, the average yearly cost for nursing home care in Pennsylvania was $117,516. If you had to use your own money to pay for it, the cost for nursing home care could quickly wipe out your life savings. Therefore, the goal is to not use your money and instead qualify for Medicaid and have Medicaid pay for your nursing home care. County agencies and nursing homes will not tell you what can be done to protect your life savings. Instead, county agencies and nursing homes only tell you if you qualify. On the other hand, a lawyer who has taken the time to learn the law and knows the 10 Moves You Can Make to Qualify for Medicaid and Protect Your Life Savings, under the right circumstances, can save you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Office Consultation to Identify Sources of Income & What You Own;

Our Client Reviews

"Mike was great to work with! He was thorough and he made sure I knew he was there to answer any questions and concerns I had. He made the situation we were dealing with very easy and handled it in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone"

Leigh

"Very responsive to inquiries and innovative in use of services to keep all file documentation and file notes for secure and ready use by clients."

John

"I have known Mike Dippolito for 35 years; however, If he didn’t do an exceptional job representing me as a lawyer, I wouldn’t post this review. I hired Mike to represent me in a custody case. Mike clearly explained the steps he would take to prepare my case. As one step led to the next, Mike presented the scenarios we would encounter and he provided the legal basis for what were my best options. There was little emotional component to the decision-making. Mike presented the legal basis for my case and allowed me to make the final decision on how to proceed based on what the case law indicated the likely outcome would be. Ultimately, I never went to court, but the issue was resolved to my satisfaction. I highly recommend The Peoples Law Firm, and Mike Dippolito. The fee structure and methodology were agreed to in advance so there were no surprises. Given the stress of entering into a legal proceeding, I appreciated the lack of drama I had while dealing with my lawyer."

Joe

"I’ve known Mike for many years and consulted with him on many legal matters. Most recently, I needed a power of attorney for my son who is in the military. Mike’s system is done all electronically and I was able to log on to a secure portal in his law firm and get the document. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a professional lawyer."

Darrin

"I have known Michael for 5 years. I asked him to assist me in a credit issue but he recommended that I call a lawyer specializing in credit and bankruptcy. The legal advice was excellent and the result was a $500 expense to save $4000. I appreciated his assistance. Even though he did not earn any fee from me, his analysis on my situation was accurate. I would recommend him to anyone interested in obtaining a professional lawyer."
