Snoring – Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) – Breathing starts and stops, already linked to high blood pressure and heart disease, may also be tied to poorer cognitive performance and an increased risk of dementia. By treating OSA the risk may be lowered. Drinking diet soda – Strong evidence shows an increased risk of dementia for…

Understanding Guardianships for a Special Needs Child

By Hurley Elder Care Law | March 12, 2018

In the eyes of the law, every child becomes an adult on their 18th birthday. This milestone can cause anxiety for many parents, especially the parents of special needs children. Up until their 18th birthday, parents (as the legal guardians of their children) have the legal authority to make medical and financial decisions for their…

Client Testimonials

Superb service through a difficult maze of governmental regulations and requirements which are not navigable by an individual without a depth of knowledge that far exceeds mine.

Wallace M.

All I can say is Wow ! I have never seen a team attack and solve a problem like Hurley. We lost our father and two weeks later our mother suffered a severe stroke. Nursing home costs were draining their life savings, but Hurley found a solution and got things under control.

Gary G.

Very comfortable atmosphere. They treat you like you are one of the family.

Due to aging, escalating health and cost concerns for both my husband and myself, I chose to work with Hurley Elder Care to do care and estate planning. I am so very pleased with the result. I have a much improved understanding of the complexity of this process, the necessary documents, timing, regulations and the need for professional guidance.

Hurley Elder Care Law went to work for my Mother and navigated all of the Government red tape and got her approved for Medicaid in short order. I, as her POA, could not even begin to climb the mountain of paperwork on my own.

It's impossible to accurately describe the lost feeling of realizing you need power of attorney, updated will and general guidance all of a sudden when dealing with a parent with dementia. The firm’s responsiveness has been superb, their work flawless and their advice kind, compassionate and professional. I'll forever know that their guidance prevented us from making many bad decisions.

I cannot thank Hurley Elder Care Law enough for the incredible support and legal expertise they provided during one of the most emotionally difficult times of my life. When my deeply loved parent’s health declined rapidly due to vascular dementia, I found myself in urgent need of both emergency and permanent guardianship and conservatorship. The process was overwhelming — but thankfully, I found this exceptional firm.I want to especially recognize Danielle Humphrey, who guided me through each step with professionalism and heartfelt empathy. Danielle was patient in answering every question, honest in setting expectations, and truly caring in how she approached my family's situation. She not only provided excellent legal counsel, but also a sense of stability and reassurance when I needed it most.Thanks to Danielle, my family and I were able to secure the legal protections necessary to ensure my parent’s well-being and dignity. I am beyond grateful for Danielle's help and would not hesitate to recommend Hurley Elder Care Law to anyone navigating the challenges of elder law and long-term care planning.

I would highley recommend Jennifer Ghorley and her paralegal, Kierstan Dickey, for any issue regarding senior law. They not only prepared wills for my husband and I, but also helped me through a probate court procedure after my husband's death. They were very thorough, patient and always ready to answer any question that i might have had. Nancy Alexander

A great institution that provides a much neglected but critical role in healthcare and beyond. Nola Hurley is an incredible face to the group and their team of attorneys are some of the most knowledgeable professionals who have thought through some life affairs that catches many off guard. I plan to use their services for family and professional referrals.

I needed to redraft my will, health care directive and power of attorney after my divorce and estrangement from a child. Needless to say, it was an emotionally delicate process but Jennifer was incredibly sympathetic and really knows her stuff! She’s uber-professional but personable and the entire revision process took a matter of several weeks and was fairly priced. I love that the firm sends newsletters with articles that are of interest to those in the later stages of life and their loved ones who might be caring for them. Nobody enjoys thinking about their eventual demise but it must be done if you want to make it easier for those left behind. Highly recommend!
