The staff at The Estate & Elder Law Center offer personal attention and the highest quality of legal representation and counsel, all for a predetermined fixed fee! Managing Attorney Robert W. Haley and Associate Attorney Nancy Fuller believe that hourly billing makes clients hesitant to call on their counsel and by utilizing fixed fees, their clients know from the beginning of the attorney-client relationship, that they have more than an attorney, they have personal counsel.
Whether you are 21 or 81, you need seasoned legal counsel. With our firm, you can gain peace of mind knowing that whatever the question, you have a starting point. Managing Attorney Robert W. Haley is a Certified Elder Law Attorney®) (CELA®) and his expertise is in Estate Planning and Asset Protection. Both of these fields are very complex and each client is different. This is why Mr. Haley limits his practice to only Elder Law and Estate Planning and Probate. But as your personal attorney, Mr. Haley can also counsel and guide you on any type of legal matter, ensuring you are represented by the best, most appropriate counsel.

Asset Protection/Medicaid Planning and Fiduciary services. For many years, Robert practiced in real estate law, and in general practice, but decided to narrow his focus to elder law and estate planning when he realized the tremendous need for proper planning to be filled in Southside Virginia.
Robert found the attention to detail that is so important when searching a real estate title can also help families protect their hard-earned assets while securing crucial Medicaid eligibility for their long-term care needs.
