One of the First Full Service Elder Law Firms in Suffolk County

In 1913, Davidow, Davidow, Siegel & Stern was founded by Lawrence Davidow’s grandfather, Harry Davidow and then expanded with the addition of his sons, Sanford and Wallace. When Lawrence joined the firm, he redirected it from a general practice to one of the first and most successful Elder Law, Special Needs and Estate Planning firms on Long Island. It is clear law runs in the family but so does compassion, service and planning.

DDSS is committed to helping our neighbors on Long Island plan for the future. We work with seniors, those with special needs, business owners, and taxpayers to help ensure your assets are protected, that you can afford the care you need, and that you are maximizing the government programs available to you all while paying the least amount in estate and income taxes.

How is Your Current Estate Plan Holding Up?

As important as it is, so many Long Islanders throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties never prioritize putting an estate plan in place. Do you have a plan? What will you do if you’re not eligible for Medicaid benefits? How will you afford a nursing home? 

A proper estate plan can answer all of these questions and provide you with peace of mind for the future. 

Did you know?

  • Currently, the average stay in a nursing home is three years with a price tag on Long Island of up to $600,000.  What’s your plan? >
  • If a transfer of assets (like your home or money) gets caught in the five-year lookback period you are not eligible for Medicaid benefits. Now what? >
  • The nursing home is full of people who claimed they would never allow themselves to be there. How will you afford it? >

We here at DDSS are leaders in estate planning on Long Island and we are proud of our extensive experience and sterling reputation. We encourage you to learn more about your options via our many resources. When you’re ready to take the first step to put a plan in place for your future and/or the future of the ones you love, reach out to us
