Nelson-Reade Law Office

Nelson-Reade Law Office sits at 813 Washington Ave in Portland, Maine, serving a community that includes a significant population of older adults who benefit from having a firm that handles elder law, estate planning, and Social Security matters under one roof. The combination of these practice areas is practical for clients who are dealing with disability issues and simultaneously thinking about their long-term financial and estate planning needs. The firm brings together three interconnected areas of law that often intersect in the lives of older Mainers and their families. A client working through a Social Security disability claim may also have questions about updating a will or establishing a trust, and having attorneys who understand all three areas means fewer referrals and more cohesive advice. You can reach the office by calling (207) 828-1597.

Nelson-Reade Law Office helps clients apply for Social Security disability benefits, represent them if an initial application is denied, and guide them through the appeals process up to and including hearings before an administrative law judge. Beyond disability law, the firm prepares wills, establishes trusts, and handles probate matters for estates in Maine, while also advising families on elder law issues such as guardianship, conservatorship, and long-term care planning.

A new client at Nelson-Reade Law Office typically begins with a consultation where the attorney gathers information about the client's health conditions, work history, and financial situation before identifying which services apply. For disability cases, the firm then handles the paperwork and communications with the Social Security Administration, while estate planning clients can expect a structured process of reviewing their goals and drafting the appropriate documents with time for revisions and questions along the way.

Nelson-Reade Law Office serves individuals and families throughout Portland, Maine, and the surrounding Cumberland County area, including many communities across southern and central Maine.
