Guardianship & Conservatorship
We can represent you in a court petition for guardianship which may include temporary, limited or full guardianship of the person and/or guardianship of the property (sometimes called conservatorship). We can also represent you as a participant (sometimes called an interested person) in guardianship proceedings brought by someone else.
Our experienced attorneys can work with you to put in place the guardianship or conservatorship protections your family member needs with the dignity and respect he or she deserves.

"Ron,
I am glad to have the opportunity to compliment you on the assistance you have given my 93 yr old mother. As an attorney, I have been impressed with the quality of your no nonsense, get it done approach to elder care law. I am particularly impressed with your staff and their interpersonal skills in handling both me and my mother in explaining the intricacies of the public assistance programs. You and your staff deserve high praise."

"Mr Landsman is nothing short of a life saver. The Elder Law issues he helped my family with were too complex for us. Mr Landsman sorted thru the issues like a surgeon. His staff (Hi Kimberly and Tom) is so helpful and caring. We are getting ready to visit again soon to continue following the plan he has laid out."

“May-Lis Manley and the staff I dealt with at Mr. Landsman’s firm literally rescued me by way of their abundance of subject matter knowledge, and professional attitudes with genuine concern. They always kept me informed, openly communicated and worked on my behalf with much diligence, which produced positive life-changing results in an exceptionally short period of time. I am forever grateful and am deeply impressed by the knowledge, skills and abilities of the firm, how they work together as a team, their efforts for their clients, and their involvements in the community.”

"Ron Landsman came very highly recommended to me. At our first meeting or two, he laid out what our plan should be to accomplish our needs. Ron was right on and our goals were met with minimum complications. He and his staff were always responsive and reliable.
We thank them for their professionalism and courtesy."

"Dear Ron,
I’m grateful for your knowledge about issues concerning long-term care insurance and planning for the later stages of life. When I listened to you mapping out different scenarios and the accompanying changes in living arrangements as I get older, as well as possible changes in the allocation of money, so that myself and my family are provided for in the best possible way, I felt for the first time that I had control of this whole area of uncertainty with intelligent options. Your colleague, Kim, was helpful in walking me through the different papers and making sure that I understood them and her editorial suggestions were brilliant. Your support staff of Sara, Vijaya and Sanja were the best I have seen in an office where the work can be challenging at times."

“From the first day my mother and I walked into your office with a box of documents, you made us welcome and answered all our questions – including many we didn’t even know to ask. As I recall, you offered us some homemade halva which was quite delicious! You got to work on our case right away and your staff have kept on top of every aspect of the case since.”

"I began using the office of Ron Landsman after the sudden death of my husband. We had been discussing the need for a new and updated will, but as so often happens had not proceeded in this matter. Having three adult children in different stages of their own lives, and not having had a discussion with my husband as how to change the very old will which he had left me practically emotionally paralyzed as to how to proceed. I had many questions - the "if-then" type. Both Ron Landsman and Kimberly Kasberg were patient beyond expectation in explaining the possibilities and consequences of the many options I considered. They were a sensitive and reassuring influence when dealing with my many phone calls and were both kind and extremely helpful in answering my questions."

"Ron helped with prudent planning that provided our parents with the best in medical care and housing. When the time came, he guided us through the extremely complicated and tedious task of applying for Medicaid. We could not have done this without Ron and his excellent staff."

"We were directed to the law firm of Ron M. Landsman, P.A. and specifically to May-Lis Manley by the Maryland Disability Law Center. The firm represented us in appealing the Maryland Medical Assistance REM program’s termination of nursing services for our adult disabled son. Ms. Manley was thorough and thoughtful in all the encounters and meetings that we had with her. Ms. Manley’s thorough preparation of our case, including assembling an incredible defense of medical professionals who were prepared to testify in our son’s behalf, and knowledge of the law enabled us to prevail. We would not have succeeded without their counsel and are pleased that their conscientious efforts resulted in our son continuing to receive overnight nursing care."
