Elder Law

West Virginia Elder Law Attorney

At the Hallinan Law Offices in Charleston, we help West Virginia families confront legal issues facing older people: advance planning, estate distribution, the appointment of alternative decision makers and long-term care needs.

I am Jacqueline Hallinan, the founder of our experienced, caring law firm. Before becoming an attorney, I earned a degree in social work with an emphasis in gerontology. My dedication to the aging population is demonstrated by my frequent appointment as a guardian ad litem in guardianship cases. With nearly two decades of experience as an elder law attorney, my goal for you and your elders is a secure, dignified retirement. Families of aging parents should likewise actively pursue every right and benefit that the elderly deserve.

When you contact me about those concerns, we will work together to achieve that goal for your senior loved one. I advise clients throughout West Virginia about proper estate planning and asset distribution, factors that can be of long-term benefit to a client's entire family. A senior can receive the full value of Medicaid and Medicare benefits and also preserve his or her estate's assets for future generations.

I believe that "if you have to do it, do it right." That's been my professional motto for two decades. It reflects my commitment to capably representing your family's interests.
