Elder & Disability Law Center

Elder & Disability Law Center operates out of Suite 510 at 1020 19th St NW in Washington, DC, placing them close to federal agencies and the administrative bodies that handle disability claims in the District. The firm brings together two areas of law that frequently intersect: disability rights and benefits on one side, and wills, trusts, and probate matters on the other. This combination makes the firm a practical choice for families dealing with a loved one's disability while also trying to plan for the future. Whether that means structuring a special needs trust to protect benefit eligibility or guiding an estate through probate after a disabled family member passes, the firm addresses both sides of the equation. While no reviews are currently listed on Yelp, the firm maintains a presence in a professional office building in one of DC's busiest legal corridors.

The firm helps clients work through the full range of disability and elder law needs, from filing initial SSDI or SSI applications to handling appeals when claims are denied, and extending into estate planning tools like special needs trusts that allow disabled individuals to inherit assets without losing government benefit eligibility. On the probate side, they guide families through the administration of estates, drafting of wills, and trust formation, which is especially relevant for families who need to plan carefully around a family member's long-term disability.

Clients typically start with a consultation where the attorney reviews their disability history, financial situation, and any pending claims or estate planning needs. From there, the firm maps out a strategy that may involve filing or appealing a disability claim, drafting trust documents, or initiating probate proceedings, depending on what the client's situation requires. Throughout the process, the firm keeps clients informed about deadlines and next steps, particularly important given the strict timelines involved in Social Security appeals.

Elder & Disability Law Center serves clients throughout Washington, DC and the surrounding metropolitan area, including clients with matters before the Social Security Administration.
