A family practice.

An Attorney since 1976, Rubin is the father of , who has Autism.

is now 30 and is 's " middle " child. has concentrated his law

practice in the area of special needs future planning for his fellow families

since 1982, when was one year old.

Special Needs Legal and Future Planning, with compassion and understanding, in

order to guide our fellow families of children and adults with intellectual

disabilities, developmental disabilities, and/or mental illness down the " road

to peace of mind " .

Attorney (Benji) Rubin is 's youngest child and Mitch's younger

brother. Benji (A/K/A Mitch's " Little/Big Brother " ), having a sibling who has

Autism, brings an important perspective into the practice.

's eldest child, his daughter, , Mitch's older sister, whose

undergraduate degree was in nursing, is a registered nurse, and a certified

school nurse (A/K/A Big Sister/Assistant Mom) is the firm's Office Manager and

's Executive Assistant. , having a sibling with Autism, brings an

unparalleled understanding of the day-to-day obstacles & successes fellow

families of individuals with special needs endure.

's wife, (A/K/A Super Mom), serves as the firm's Receptionist (and

basically just does whatever needs to be done in the office, including " sharing "

with fellow mothers).

Lastly, but far from the least, is Mitch, himself, who works one day a week in

our office shredding documents (the other days he works through Clearbrook's

Supported Employment Program). After he fills a bag, in addition to his

paycheck, he earns an elevator ride, which we all believe means more to him than

the money.

In addition to our family, our firm, that is, our " extended family " , includes

Attorney, Judie , who has been with our firm since 1996, and our super

legal assistant, Muschkat who has been with our firm since 2007.

has always said that having a child with special needs allowed him, as

well as , , and Benji, to truly understand what is important in life,

and what is really " not so important " .

Special Needs Future Planning (SNFP) includes, in addition to " normal " or

" traditional " estate planning, Discretionary Supplemental or Special Needs

Trusts, OBRA 93 or Medicaid " Pay-Back " Trusts, Adult Guardianship &

alternatives, Health Surrogate Act Declarations, forms and language for the

extended family to " piggy-back " on the Special Needs Trust, coordinating

beneficiary designations for life insurance, IRAs, 401ks, pensions & profit

sharing, planning for " post 18 " child support if parents are divorced,
