About Us: We are a fast-growing, entrepreneurial Elder Law firm on a mission to provide exceptional legal services to our clients, focusing in Medicaid planning, nursing home Medicaid, and home care Medicaid. Known for our dedication, perseverance, and unmatched expertise, we have built a reputation as the go-to firm for challenging cases – especially when it comes to navigating and outsmarting Managed Long-Term Care plans. When other attorneys face complex Medicaid cases, they trust us to handle them with the care and attention their clients deserve.

As we continue to grow aggressively, we’re looking for an experienced and highly motivated Senior Attorney to lead our team. This is an exciting opportunity to take charge of a substantial caseload and lead our team in delivering top-notch legal services to clients in need.

What We’re Looking For:

We need an expert in Medicaid planning, nursing home Medicaid, and home care Medicaid. You’ve worked through the intricacies of Medicaid law, from pre-DRA strategies to post-DRA planning techniques, and are well-versed in the many changes that have affected home care services. You know how to navigate the shifting landscape of state law and thrive in situations where most would back down.

If you enjoy guardianship work, we can take on guardianship cases.

Most importantly, you have a growth mindset and are eager to contribute to the expansion of a firm that’s on an upward trajectory. You’re excited about the challenge of scaling our operations, streamlining processes, and building a thriving business with a collaborative, motivated team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage a diverse and high-volume caseload, focusing on Medicaid planning, nursing home Medicaid, and home care Medicaid cases.
• Directly collaborate with the owner to shape the direction of cases and ensure all legal strategies are sound.
• Provide expert legal counsel and guidance to clients on Medicaid eligibility, planning, and application processes.
• Delegate tasks effectively, mentor paralegal staff, and oversee the development of team members.
• Be responsible for home care cases, advocating fiercely for our clients' best interests.
• Stay up to date with ongoing changes in Medicaid law and adapt strategies as necessary.
• Collaborate with colleagues and foster a positive, team-driven work environment.

Who You Are:

• You’re a seasoned Medicaid law expert with a strong background in nursing home and home care Medicaid, especially post-DRA planning techniques.
• You’ve handled complex cases and are adept at troubleshooting and problem-solving in challenging situations.
• You’re passionate about client service and take pride in going the extra mile to ensure positive outcomes.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and are excited about working with a team that’s growing quickly.
• You’re a leader who inspires and motivates those around you, and you understand the importance of teamwork in achieving success.
• You’re not burned out – you’re looking for an exciting opportunity to grow professionally and personally while being well-compensated for your expertise and effort.

Why Join Us:

• Growth and Opportunity: We’re on track for aggressive growth, and you’ll be a key part of shaping that success. This is an opportunity to grow professionally alongside the firm.
• Work with the Best: Join a team that is recognized as the leader in Medicaid and Elder Law, known for our relentless advocacy and legal excellence.
• Competitive Compensation: We value the work you do and offer a competitive salary with performance-based bonuses for meeting KPIs.
• Impactful Work: Make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable clients, navigating complex legal challenges on their behalf.
• Collaborative Culture: You’ll work with a motivated team who shares your passion for Elder Law and making a difference in the lives of our clients.
