6 Question you need to ask before choosing an elder law lawyer, estate or trust lawyer in Rockland County or anywhere:
1. How much knowledge and experience does the elder law, estate or trust lawyer have? The number of years practicing law is only relevant to the extent that the attorney has focused his or her practice in trust, estate and elder law. It is important to pick an attorney who concentrates in these areas and has done so for a number of years. Albert J. Kaiser has focused on all of these areas of law in Rockland County for 30 years.
2. Does the lawyer take the time communicate well? Can the elder law lawyer explain complex issues in an easy-to-understand manner? Exceptional elder law, estate and trust lawyers will never talk down to anyone; rather they talk with them until they understand. While Attorney Kaiser has received one of the finest legal educations, he grew up locally, knows what it means to work for a living and knows how to communicate with people from all walks of life in a clear and respectful manner.
3. Is the lawyer patient? Many people who desire this type of legal work are advanced in years.

Al has patience and schedules the time to educate his clients and fully answer all of their questions.

4. Is the attorney compassionate? Elder law, estate and trust lawyers often deal with clients and their family members in stressful and difficult times. The very best attorney can carry out their client’s wishes while communicating with family members with compassion and grace.
5. Does the attorney develop unique documents and plans for each client’s needs and wants? Outstanding lawyers in the areas of elder law, estates and trusts always develop custom documents and plans. It is a fact that in order to develop a quality plan it is necessary to spend time with the client and to listen carefully to ascertain their concerns. A word to the wise– avoid attorneys that use software programs to generate estate planning documents.
6. Does the attorney meet with you individually in an effort to understand and analyze your particular situation, your wants, and your needs? Beware of those group dinners or seminars. The attorney that reaches the pinnacle of these fields never employs a one-size-fits-all strategy nor does he believe in “selling them in bunches” to increase sales and profits.

Each plan must be customized and developed to protect your assets and plan for your medical needs while passing on your wealth in the manner that fulfills your unique needs and wishes.
