Who We Are

Limsky Law Group, LLC is an elder law and asset protection firm of experienced and compassionate advocates dedicated to assisting you in planning for whatever the future may bring.

Our Experience

Limsky Law Group, LLC is a niche, subject-matter focused firm that assists clients with a variety of estate planning, elder law, and disability law concerns. We utilize active involvement in legislative efforts and professional organizations to develop firsthand knowledge of potential changes before they take effect.

Why Us

Limsky Law Group, LLC has a winning combination of knowledge, honesty, commitment, and caring that helps us to meet the needs of our clients. We differentiate ourselves from most law firms with our particular focus on solutions for aging individuals and individuals with disabilities. Whether you are considering your own planning needs or you are facing a loved one’s need for assistance and planning, we are here to provide the compassionate guidance you need.

How We Help

From initial contact to the final implementation of your plan, we strive to empower you to make educated decisions with a feeling of comfort. We go above and beyond to listen to each of our clients to understand their specific situations and how best to provide their solution, not just a solution.

About Us

Our Core Values

KNOWLEDGE THROUGH ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT

The laws that impact our clients are constantly changing, and proper advocacy requires our team to understand all potential laws and future changes. We are invested in continuing our knowledge through our involvement in organizations, boards, and councils throughout our industry.

SELF-AWARENESS, HONESTY, AND INTEGRITY

We don’t know everything, and we built our firm on a culture of acknowledging when we need to research for answers to clients’ questions, and working with our clients to find outside assistance when appropriate. It’s our top priority to find you the right assistance for your situation. We do not accept, nor offer, referral fees. Referrals we make are based on our understanding of the knowledge and reputation of the individual / entity, as well as client experience and compatibility.

COMMITMENT TO LISTENING, NOT JUST HEARING

The matters our clients face involve many complex facets of life. Seemingly insignificant details can have significant impacts. We would not be doing our job if we did not take the time to understand the big picture before we analyze what options may be right for you.

GENUINE CARE AND CONCERN

We are truly blessed to have lasting relationships with many of our clients beyond the conclusion of our representation. Unfortunately, several of those relationships have concluded due to the death of the client, or otherwise changed due to the client’s cognitive impairment, such as the effects of dementia. The occurrence of those sensitive events is when having a plan becomes most critical. The decisions we help clients to make relate to death, disability, and taxes – none of which are “fun” topics. We have provided assistance to clients and their families through death and disability, and we do not take our responsibility lightly. We take the time necessary to empower you to make informed and thoughtful decisions.

Testimonials

"Patient ... honest, knowledgeable and skillful..."

“I chose Mathew Limsky after researching various estate lawyers in the area. He was the ONLY one who did not try to upsell me on products/documents that I do need. His price was reasonable and he’s easy to talk to and to work with. He explained every aspect of creating a Will, Advance Directive & Power of Attorney. He was patient with all of my questions in our consultation and on the day I signed all documents. I will work with him in the future and I recommend him for anyone who wants an honest, knowledgeable and skillful lawyer.”

"Clearly cared… honest and genuine…"

“I sought Matthew’s advice for protecting my mother’s assets after a stroke and he was upfront that they were not a fit for her guardianship situation, but he clearly cared that we get the right help for our needs. He spent a great deal of time going over her options, helping me to evaluate the lawyer I eventually went with, and provided advice on nursing home comparison, even after it was clear he was not going to be retained for services. He was honest and genuine, and I would go back to him in a heartbeat and will certainly recommend him for anyone in the area who needs estate planning.”
