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. The Medicaid system is a myriad of rules and regulations and this attention to detail is what can often make the vital difference in planning!
He understands how stressful it is for families when a loved one needs long-term care. He knows that while he cannot take away that burden, he can help give the family some peace of mind in the complex process of securing long-term care Medicaid benefits. Even families that have long-term care insurance in place have legal needs and Robert explains and educates his clients on their options so that they can make the best decision for themselves and their family both now as well as in the future. Robert has seen too many families spend their life savings unnecessarily, or put in a position to sell their family home to qualify for the nursing home and long-term care; Robert and his staff diligently work to help families plan to avoid these heart-wrenching outcomes.
For matters such as this, in estate planning, or when serving as an Independent Trustee or Executor, it is essential to choose an attorney with the education and expertise that gives you confidence in your counsel! Robert works hard to educate himself and his staff on an ongoing basis to provide experienced advocacy and representation for his clients at a time when they are in uncharted and unfamiliar, overwhelming circumstances.
As the only Certified Elder Law Attorney® in Southside Virginia, many attorneys refer their clients to Robert due to his excellent reputation, not only as an expert in his field, but also as an award-winning attorney of the highest ethical standards. In addition, he is also on the Council of Advanced Practitioners, a distinction he achieved early in his practice.
A native of Bassett, Robert came back home to open his law practice in 1995 upon graduating law school after proudly serving our country in the United States Air Force for over eight years. When not in the office, Robert enjoys reading, smoking fine cigars, and travelling with his wife Cricket!

He gave information helping us when my mother was aging and we faced nursing home care. He helped transfer property into all names and developed a plan for saving assets anticipating going into a nursing home. She passed away before needing a nursing home, and he answered questions about probate.

Our son was severely handicapped and totally dependent upon us . We went to Mr. Haley with many problems. He was able to sort thru those problems and find solutions for us. He promptly returned phone calls and email. We found Mr. Haley to be knowledgeable, caring and totally trustworthy.

This team is professional and has their act together. I brought a family member here and Robert took time to answer every question. He gave us documents to review and ask more questions. He was very thorough, timely and I am appreciative. I recommend him to everyone.

I thought we were going to have to spend down the vast majority of my parents assets. Fortunately we found Mr Haley and not only did he help us ensure Dad's placement in a long term care facility, he was able to protect the assets for Mom! If you have a loved one in or going to the nursing home, you have to see Mr Haley and his staff!
