Elder Law Services

When looking for an elder law attorney, people need both experienced representation and compassionate, one-on-one attention. The attorneys of McCarthy Duffy LLP have been assisting clients in elder law issues for many years. They approach each case individually, getting to know clients well and working diligently on the client's behalf.

McCarthy Duffy LLP is a model of stability, having served the Chicago area in various forms for more than 120 years. Initial consultations are free for new clients.  The firm maintains offices in downtown Chicago, Palos Park and Skokie, Illinois.

Elder law is a broad field which encompasses many different issues. The lawyers of McCarthy Duffy LLP assist clients with:

• Home care plans
• Health care powers of attorney
• Nursing home selection
• Medicare, Medicaid issues
• Wills & Trusts
• Probate & Estate Administration

Working in any of the above issues requires attentive contact with clients and tailoring solutions to the client's specific needs and wishes. For example, when setting up programs for home care, the lawyers of McCarthy Duffy LLP work with LivHOME® to get clients the ideal caretaker arrangement, hospital bed, and other arrangements which the homebound client may need.

In one recent case, attorney Richard Witry contacted the Council of Jewish Elderly, who sent an application for a 90-year-old woman who was seeking a home. She had very specific needs, so Mr. Witry had to search extensively for the right circumstances. A central plank of the firm's philosophy is to extend itself to satisfy a client.
