Serving Across New York

Most Families Don't Think About Medicaid Planning Until It's Too Late.

A sudden diagnosis, a fall, a care facility conversation that comes out of nowhere. By then, the options are fewer and the stakes are higher.

The families who fare best are the ones who planned ahead. That's why we help individuals and families understand their options before the emergency arrives, protecting the home, the savings, and the legacy that took a lifetime to build. The planning doesn't have to be complicated. But it does have to happen.

Meet Your Attorney

Stefanie A. Sovak, Esq.

Families come to Stefanie Sovak when they're facing something they weren't prepared for. A parent who needs memory care, a spouse who can no longer live independently, a nursing home conversation that's happening faster than anyone expected. She built her practice around exactly those moments.

A graduate of Georgetown University and Pace University School of Law, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude and served on Law Review, Stefanie focuses exclusively on Medicaid planning, long-term care, elder law, and estate planning for New York families. She's a published author, a frequent speaker on long-term care topics, and a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Her commitment is simple: make the complex feel manageable, and make sure every family she works with understands exactly what they're doing and why.

The families who protect the most are the ones who act before they have to. One conversation is enough to understand where you stand, what's at risk, and what a plan would actually look like for your family. No pressure, just clarity.
