Davidow, Davidow, Siegel & Stern, LLP is seeking an attorney with approximately 3–7 years of experience in elder law and estate planning to join our growing Long Island practice.Founded in 1913, our firm has been serving Long Island families for more than a century. Today, we are a busy, established elder law, special needs, estate planning and estate administration practice that is investing significantly in its people, technology and systems as we build the next generation of the firm.
This is an excellent opportunity for an attorney who already has a solid foundation in elder law and estate planning and wants to deepen that expertise while working alongside highly experienced attorneys in a sophisticated and active practice.
The attorney should be comfortable meeting with clients, identifying planning needs, developing appropriate strategies and overseeing the implementation of estate and elder law plans.
Experience should include familiarity with:

- Deeds and other documents commonly used in elder law and estate planning
- Medicaid rules affecting transfers, gifting, spouses and long-term-care planning
- The Medicaid application process, although the attorney will not be responsible for preparing applications
- The attorney will work closely with experienced attorneys and paralegals and will have the opportunity to continue developing more sophisticated planning skills. Special needs planning and probate or estate administration experience are pluses, but neither is required.
We are not looking for a book of business. We are looking for a capable attorney who enjoys working with clients, wants to become an excellent elder law practitioner, and is prepared to contribute immediately to a very busy practice.
Our firm combines the stability, reputation and client base of a practice that has served Long Island families since 1913 with a significant modernization initiative involving new technology, improved systems and processes, and continued investment in our people.

Salary: $120,000–$150,000, commensurate with experience.
