Review of denials, development of the record and representation through the administrative fair hearing process.

Leonard J.C. Hardesty, Jr. brings more than 25 years of experience and advanced tax training to elder law and estate planning. Clients work directly with experienced counsel to understand options, tradeoffs and next steps.
Initial consultations are 60 minutes and require a $650 payment to confirm. The fee is non-refundable and the appointment is reschedulable, subject to availability. If the firm is engaged, the $650 is credited toward attorney time actually expended at applicable hourly rates. Representation begins only after completion of an existing-client conflict check and execution of a written engagement agreement.
