Medicaid Planning and Elder Law Attorney in Florida: Meet Jason Neufeld and the Elder Needs Law Team
If you're searching for an experienced, reasonably priced Medicaid planning or elder law attorney in Florida, Elder Needs Law would like to be on your short list. In the video below, managing partner Jason Neufeld introduces himself, his team, and the way the firm works with families across the state.
Who Is Jason Neufeld?
Jason Neufeld is a board-certified elder law attorney and the managing partner of Elder Needs Law. Board certification isn't something an attorney earns just by putting in a certain number of years, and a vote of support from colleagues doesn't get anyone there either. It takes a demonstrated commitment to excellence and a very difficult exam, which takes most attorneys six to twelve months of studying to have a real chance of passing.
The numbers tell the story. Florida has roughly 100,000 licensed attorneys, and fewer than 120 of them, by Jason's last count, are board certified in elder law. When you're trusting someone with your parents' care, your savings, and your family's future, that level of dedication is worth knowing about.
Books, Leadership, and Staying Current
Jason has also written two books:
- How to Get Medicaid to Pay for Some or All of Your Long-Term Care Expenses, a guide that has been updated through multiple editions and is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Medicaid-some-your-long-term-expenses/dp/1513634712
- A trustee's handbook for people who serve as trustee for a special needs beneficiary
He is also the incoming president of the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys as of 2027. The Academy is the leading organization in the state where elder law attorneys come together to teach each other, share what's working, and stay on top of changes in Florida law. Elder law rules shift often, so having a leader of that group on your side matters when your family's plan depends on getting the details right.
A Team Behind You, Not Just One Attorney
Jason is quick to point out that the firm's success isn't all about him. Elder Needs Law has four attorneys and a support staff of seven or eight people. Some of the team members used to work for Medicaid, so they know how the system looks from the inside.
- Alyssa focuses entirely on Medicaid planning and special needs planning.
- Carrie handles estate planning, real estate, and probate.
- Jody works alongside the other attorneys wherever help is needed.
The staff is there to make sure you feel heard and understood. Once you've hired the firm and a legal question comes up, you can reach an attorney or get an answer from the team quickly. There are backups built in, so your questions don't sit and wait. When you hire Elder Needs Law, you get the whole group, not just Jason.
Serving All of Florida
Elder Needs Law serves families throughout the state. If you'd like to meet with an attorney in person, offices are available in:
- Spring Hill
- Aventura
- Plantation
- Boca Raton
Living somewhere else in Florida? No problem. The firm meets with clients over Zoom, so you can sit down with an attorney from your kitchen table, no matter which city or county you call home.
What Elder Needs Law Can Help With
Families come to the firm with questions like these:
- How can we pay for long-term care without losing everything we've saved?
- Can Florida Medicaid help cover nursing home or in-home care costs?
- What's the right way to plan for a loved one with special needs?
- Do our wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents still fit our situation?
Whether you need Medicaid planning, special needs planning, or a fresh estate plan, the goal is the same: protect your family and give you a clear path forward.
