About Leonard F. Berg, Attorney At Law

The law firm of Leonard F. Berg, Attorney at Law, could be called an estate planning firm or an elder law firm. However, those terms are somewhat limiting and do not fully describe what we do. Although we certainly do draft wills, trusts, living wills and powers of attorney, we define our practice using broader terms. We have come to understand that there is a great deal of overlap between the legal and social issues that confront people with disabilities, the elderly and their families. We offer comprehensive planning services, including estate planning, planning for transitions, community resources planning, planning for people with disabilities and veterans benefits planning.
About Our Team
Our firm is led by attorney Leonard F. Berg who has been in practice for more than three decades. In addition to being an active member of our local community, Leonard belongs to numerous national associations that help him stay up-to-date on all of the areas of the law in which we practice. He is a respected lecturer among lawyers and the public on the topics such as elder law, special needs planning and estate planning. He also frequently writes articles for the newspaper addressing these issues. He is supported by an experienced staff. Together, we work to serve our clients in a personalized, efficient and cost-effective manner.
