The Importance of Elder Law

Protecting Your Loved Ones in Their Golden Years

As our loved one’s age, protecting their legal rights and interests becomes increasingly important. Elder law is a specialized area of legal practice that focuses on seniors’ unique needs and challenges.

Providing for Your Loved Ones’ Future Needs

Long-term care planning is another critical aspect of elder law. An elder law attorney can help your loved one plan for future care needs, whether in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. They can also help your loved one navigate the Medicaid system and other government benefits, ensuring they receive the care they need without depleting their assets.

Navigating the Complexities of the System

Navigating the complexities of government benefits can be overwhelming, especially for seniors. An elder law attorney can provide guidance and support in navigating the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid systems and other government benefits programs. They can help your loved one understand their rights and entitlements and ensure they receive the benefits they are entitled to.

Preparing for the Future

As our loved ones age, their legal needs become increasingly complex. Elder law attorneys are trained to provide compassionate, knowledgeable guidance and support in navigating these challenges. If you have an elderly loved one, consider consulting with an elder law attorney to protect their legal rights and interests in their golden years.

My husband and I needed to create our wills and had no idea where to start. Antanavage Farbiarz PLLC walked us through the whole process. Everyone at the firm was very patient and kind. We can now rest easy knowing that our final arrangements are complete, thanks to Antanavage Fabiarz PLLC.

I was terrified of having to go the route of bankruptcy to regain my financial freedom. I had a fair amount of personal and family tragedies that put me in an uncomfortable financial situation. I was recommended this firm by a dear friend and I couldn't have been more blessed and satisfied with my entire experience and process. Mr. Farbiarz was compassionate and understanding and his legal aid Kylie made EVERYTHING go smoothly. Their professionalism and reassurances were a gift and I highly recommend them for your legal needs. Top-notch service!

I was referred to Russell by my wife while looking for a family court lawyer. I explained my situation to Russell and we had a few meetings and calls to discuss my case. After everything was reviewed, Russell gave me his best advice on how to handle the case and I agreed. I gained primary custody of my daughter with the help of Russell because he not only knew the law, but he saw the importance of my daughter and I being reunited and fighting for that result. I will always be grateful for his patience, strength, and perseverance. I will only work with Russell from this point forward – once you find the best you continue to work with the best.

Russell and his employees made the process easy to have our estate wills and power of attorney written up, from phone calls and emails for any questions I had to the final step in the office for signatures. My husband and I had simple wills we wanted to be done, then Russell asked about POAs and living wills if we would like to do them. I was glad those two services could be handled at the same time and highly recommend his service!

Russel Farbiarz is a credit to his profession. He listened to my story without judgement, he was kind, thorough, and he explained the law in a way I could understand. He helped me accomplish my goal that would have gone unrealized without his attention. Best Attorney EVER!!!

We were very happy with the work that Attorney Farbiarz did for us. He and his staff were fully functional through Covid - 19 and did almost all of our work electronically and virtually. We would use Antanavage Farbiarz again and would recommend them to others.

Russel and his staff are a very professional organization. While thoughtful of your needs, they stay on task to work with you to achieve a timely resolution. I have recommended him to many people that have family legal matters, wills, divorce, estate planning, etc... Great people for challenging problems.

Michael A.

Russel established a new business entity for me and was extremely helpful. I would recommend him to anyone for a new business startup.

Mike K.

It was a pleasure to work with Russell and his staff. We had multiple family/estate documents e created; Russell made sure that we understood the content of each. I highly recommend.

Rita P.

Russell helped execute a complicated legal matter that I attempted without an attorney. He came in midstream, righted the ship, and navigated us safely home. He was composed, trustworthy, and responsive throughout the entire process.

Sam M.

Russel and Kylie were amazing. My discharge paperwork was sent in a few months. And they even helped me keep one of my cars! These guys will not steer you wrong. They only want to help you! If you are in pa and considering bankruptcy, call Antanavage. Trust me. Awesome work.
