What distinguishes our firm is that our attorneys and our staff have “been there” “done that.” Each of us has had extensive personal experience dealing with the dilemmas that face families and caregivers as their senior generation ages. We bring that experience to the table when we deal with our clients and because of our breadth of experience we are able to offer practical advice, as well as legal advice, and the choices that they may gave in various situations.

At Benz & Reading LLC we work continuously to understand and respond to the needs of each client, while we bring the most recent developments in the law to the firm’s practice. Whether designing estate and gifting plans that minimize estate and inheritance taxes; putting into effect long-term care planning; or guiding seniors and their families through the filing of guardianship and conservatorship petitions, Medicaid or Medicare applications or drafting Wills, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Powers of Attorney, and Trusts, at Benz & Reading LLC we bring a high level of expertise to everything we do. In short, we are a full service law firm offering both sophisticated tax and estate planning and a full range of elder law planning.

When necessary, Benz & Reading LLC litigates on behalf of clients in state and Federal Courts, represents clients in arbitrations, negotiates on their behalf in mediations, and appears in the appellate division when clients choose to appeal their outcomes in the trial court. We handle will contests and guardianship contests, competency and incapacity evaluations and claims of undue influence as well.

As an integral part of their community outreach, both Elenora L. Benz and Nancy Heslin Reading are available to speak to civic and church groups on areas of the law that impact seniors and their families.
