As experienced guides through the confusing maze of elder law in the Rochester, New York area, we strive to lift the burden of fear and worry from our clients’ shoulders. In 1986, after working in the Second Judicial Department for the Justices of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York (one of the busiest appellate courts in the nation), attorney Miles P. Shortly ther
eafter, Miles found himself assisting in the care-giving of his elderly parents, and decided to move them to Rochester from Brooklyn to better look after their needs. In doing so, he soon realized his passion to help older adults and decided to focus his practice on Elder Law. Today, his finely-tuned elder law practice provides clients in the Rochester area with the deep compassion and experience he brings to the otherwise complex areas of Medicaid Planning and Asset Protection, Estate Planning, Probate and Estate Administration, Special Needs Planning and Guardianships for incapacitated individuals. He says they often show their appreciation with hugs, which is not something most lawyers get to experience. For this reason, Miles finds his work to be deeply rewarding. He strives to be a source of relief for every client, no matter the level of burden they carry when they come through his door. Miles' clients often leave a meeting with him feeling at ease, their fears alleviated, so they can turn their focus and attention on their loved ones, confident their legal matters are in good hands.
