Legal Services for Senior Citizens and their Families
Elder Law and Estate Planning
As we get older, many of us are faced with difficult and important decisions regarding our health care and our financial well-being. Elder law usually refers to the legal service of protecting the rights and interests of senior citizens. We take the approach that these issues affect the entire family. We can help both children who are worried about a parent living alone or a grandparent who is being taken advantage of financially or suffering emotional or physical abuse, often by a trusted family member.
Becoming a senior citizen doesn't mean giving up your rights
The attorneys of Nachtigal, Eisenstein & Associates provide a full range of elder law services to Oregon clients. Our services range from simple legal advice about estate planning to filing a personal injury claim for nursing home abuse. Our clients include senior citizens, as well as family members with a conservatorship over an elder's estate.
Senior citizens have every right to feel protected. Contact us for a free half-hour consultation with a lawyer at our firm. From our conveniently located office in Hillsboro, we serve Portland Westside and Washington County clients.
