Attorney Dan Munster founded Daniel D. Munster, P.C. in 1999 after spending four years representing senior citizens as a staff attorney with the Senior Citizens Law Project, a division of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society. Since its inception, the firm's primary area of practice has been elder law with an emphasis on Medicaid planning. Also known as "asset protection" or "avoiding spend down", Medicaid planning is simply the process of working within applicable state and federal regulations to achieve eligibility for assistance prior to exhaustion of life savings that might otherwise occur as a result of the excessive cost of nursing home care. Because planning opportunities in Georgia are fairly progressive, it is quite possible for a resident to ethically and legally achieve eligibility in a matter of a few weeks instead of the five years often required in other states.

In addition to complex Medicaid planning, the firm can assist with such matters as estate planning and planning for disability through powers of attorney or special needs trusts. While the firm's office is in Atlanta, our practice extends throughout the entire state of Georgia.
