At the law office of Hickman Menashe, P.S., we bring more than 45 years of combined legal experience to people across the Seattle area. In recognition of our reputation for strong and effective advocacy, we have been AV rated by our colleagues in the legal profession under Martindale-Hubbell's Peer Review Rating System*. We have frequently been called on to educate the media and other professionals on issues related to elder law and the legal protection of elder Americans, as well as on the vagaries of the Social Security disability system and the various legal issues that arise in connection to receipt of these benefits.
Seattle and Everett Area Elder Law and Social Security Disability Lawyers: Our Approach
We work at all times to integrate the knowledge, skill and experience we have developed in our separate, but complementary, practice areas. We believe this brings a special synergy, allowing us to provide holistic counsel, addressing all your legal concerns. We will carefully gather all relevant information, so that we can identify any potential hurdles, as well as your options. We seek to understand all sides of an issue, so that we can formulate appropriate responses and help you move toward the outcome you want.
Our Practice
Though we help people of all ages, a principal part of our estate planning practice involves elder law. In that elder law practice, we assist elders, and their families, with a broad range of issues such as estate planning, long-term care planning, special needs trusts, living wills, guardianships and trust and estate administration. To learn more, see our practice area overview page.
We also assist individuals who have a disability and are seeking benefits from the Social Security Administration. If you are unable to work and provide for yourself and your family due to illness or injury, we may be able to help. See our Social Security disability Income and Supplemental Security Income overview page.
Contact Us
We provide a confidential consultation to every client. To set up a meeting with an experienced Lynnwood area attorney regarding your elder law, estate planning or Social Security or SSI needs, contact our office online or call us at 425-744-5658. For client convenience we have a second office in Bellevue. We offer flexible appointment times to meet your needs. We will travel to your home or the hospital, if necessary. Our offices are accessible to persons with disabilities.
For clients with Social Security disability or Supplemental Security Income claims, we generally handle all matters on a contingency fee basis, only charging legal fees if we recover compensation for you.
