Why Choose Us?

At Futterman, Lanza & Pasculli, LLP, you will find a team of caring and compassionate professionals who are committed to providing superior service in a friendly, responsive atmosphere for all families, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and their families. We are proud to help people who need advocacy in critical aspects of their lives, including elder law, Medicaid benefits, veterans’ benefits and estate planning. The firm also handles personal injury and real estate cases, often for our existing elder law and estate planning clients.

Most of our referrals come from previous clients. Because of our vast experience and knowledge, we also receive many referrals from financial professionals, accountants, mental health professionals and administrators from skilled nursing facilities, hospitals and rehab centers. In addition, other attorneys often recommend clients to us when they cannot serve the client’s specific elder law and estate planning needs.

Our Distinct Team Of Attorneys And Staff

Whether you are the one seeking legal counsel, or you are a family member, you will find the help you need at Futterman, Lanza & Pasculli, LLP.  As a firm, we have almost two decades of experience focusing on elder law and estate planning matters in New York, and many of our attorneys have decades of experience in these areas. We also have a law partner who is licensed in Florida, so we may assist clients who are “snowbirds” there. We are known as leaders among our peers, helping to educate other attorneys through articles, blogs, and seminars. In addition, we are accredited to teach social workers and case managers.

You can rely on the knowledge and compassion of our entire team, which includes:

• Clients who may end up in litigation or have court involvement
• Medicaid, which is an in-house department at the firm
• Social work advocacy and support for all families including special needs families that often come with complex tax issues
• Veterans law, which some firms do not accept, yet is a passion of law partner Felicia Pasculli
