Our Practice Areas
Focused legal help for the moments that matter most — planning ahead, caring for a loved one, settling an estate, or challenging a decision that went wrong.
Legal Help for Every Stage of Life
The Jaeger Firm is a small, focused practice. Most of our work centers on estate planning and elder law — helping individuals and families put the right documents in place, plan for the cost of long-term care, and protect loved ones who need extra support. We also help families through probate and trust administration after someone passes away.
In addition, we handle appeals in two areas where a second look can make a real difference: denied Social Security disability claims and state and federal criminal convictions.
Every page below explains the basics in plain English. If you are not sure which one fits, that is completely normal — call us and describe what is happening.
