Practice Areas

Every chapter, one counsel.

The arc of a family and its home, in seven chapters — the same solo attorney from the closing table to probate.

  1. § 1

    The first home

    Real Estate

    First Time Homeowner, Buying, Selling

    Attorney Gorman has extensive experience in the residential real estate field, having closed loans in excess of 50 million dollars since he opened his own practice. He represents local and national banks, mortgage lenders, buyers and sellers.

    Protecting what you built

    Estate Planning

    Wills, Trusts & More

    The Law Offices of Michael D. Gorman, LLC provides everything from simple wills to complicated estate plans, depending on the needs of our clients. We can provide a number of trusts, depending on the situation, including special needs trusts. We also provide probate administration.

    Our office provides everything from a basic will package to living trusts, charitable trusts, irrevocable trusts, qualified domestic relations trusts, marital deduction trusts, bypass trusts, personal residence trusts, and more.

  3. § 3

    Every family

    Estate Planning for LGBTQ+

    Marriage, Civil Unions, Domestic Partnerships

    We help our GLBT friends achieve their estate planning goals, and make sure that their partner can be involved and have their say if one of the couple tragically is incapacitated.

  4. § 4

    Providing for a loved one

    Special Needs Planning

    Plan ahead for when you can’t be there.

    Unfortunately many people think that if they have a family member who is already incapacitated or receiving governmental support, that they are not able to leave that loved one monies at death. This is not true. Our office can help plan so that your loved one does not forego any governmental support they are receiving, while at the same time being able to receive a gift or bequest from a family member in their will or estate plan.

  5. § 5

    When capacity is in question

    Guardianship & Conservatorship

    Incapacity Planning

    Our office helps our clients apply for guardianship and conservatorships on behalf of a loved one who may need these services due to insufficient incapacity planning. We also provide incapacity planning so that our clients will not need a guardian or conservator in most cases in the first place!

  6. § 6

    The elder years

    Elder Law & Medicaid Planning

    The Law Offices of Michael D. Gorman, LLC help our clients prepare for challenges such as illnesses and death, and help our clients preserve their assets in the manner they choose. We also apply for guardianship and conservatorships on behalf of elders.

    Our office helps elders plan for incapacity, qualify for government benefits, preserve their money and property, and help fulfill their ultimate wishes.

  7. § 7

    After a loss

    Probate Administration

    Our office helps represent executors, administrators, and family members who have been chosen to probate their loved one’s will. We work with these chosen family members to ensure a smooth probate process, and one that is as painless as possible.
