About Chelmsford Office

The Chelmsford Office at 227 Chelmsford Street sits in a community that has a growing population of older residents and families who need legal guidance on issues that tend to intersect as people age or face serious illness. The firm's three practice areas, Social Security law, estate planning, and elder law, are not coincidentally grouped together. Clients dealing with a disabling condition often also need to think about how their assets are structured, who will make decisions on their behalf if they become incapacitated, and whether they may eventually need to qualify for Medicaid to cover long-term care costs. This office can be reached at (339) 499-4306 and offers a distinctive combination of legal services that is particularly well suited to clients who want to address multiple legal needs with a single firm rather than seeking out separate attorneys for each issue. Whether someone is applying for Social Security disability benefits for the first time or an aging parent needs a plan that protects their estate while preserving access to public benefits, this practice covers the legal ground that matters most.

How They Can Help

The Chelmsford Office helps clients navigate the Social Security disability claims process, including preparing initial applications and handling appeals through the administrative hearing stage. On the estate planning side, the firm assists with drafting wills, establishing trusts, and creating powers of attorney and health care proxies. The elder law component addresses issues such as Medicaid eligibility and planning, guardianship, and the legal tools that allow families to make informed decisions about long-term care.

What to Expect

When you contact the Chelmsford Office, the staff will work to understand which of your legal needs are most pressing and how they may connect to one another. For a Social Security disability claim, the process involves documenting your medical history and functional limitations in a way that meets the SSA's standards for approval. For estate planning or elder law matters, the firm will review your current situation, identify any gaps in your planning, and help you put the appropriate legal documents in place so that your wishes are protected and your eligibility for public benefits is not inadvertently jeopardized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Chelmsford Office help with both a disability claim and estate planning at the same time?
Yes. The firm handles Social Security law, estate planning, and elder law, so clients who need help on more than one of these fronts can work with a single office rather than coordinating between multiple attorneys.
How does Medicaid planning relate to Social Security disability?
Some individuals who receive Social Security disability benefits eventually need Medicaid to cover medical or long-term care costs. Medicaid has strict income and asset limits, so advance planning with an elder law attorney can help protect your assets while preserving your eligibility for these programs.
Where is the Chelmsford Office located?
The office is at 227 Chelmsford Street in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. You can reach them by phone at (339) 499-4306.
What elder law documents should I have in place?
At a minimum, most adults should have a durable power of attorney, a health care proxy, and a will. Those facing potential long-term care needs may also benefit from a trust designed to protect assets while maintaining eligibility for Medicaid or other public benefit programs.
Does disability affect my ability to create a will or trust?
A disability does not automatically prevent someone from creating estate planning documents, provided the person has the legal capacity to do so at the time the documents are signed. The firm can advise on timing and proper execution to ensure your documents will hold up.
What if my Social Security disability claim was denied?
A denial does not end your options. The appeals process includes a Request for Reconsideration and, if necessary, a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. The Chelmsford Office can evaluate your denial and advise on the strongest path forward for your specific situation.
