Littman Krooks LLP, now celebrating its 20th year of service, focuses on special needs planning, special education advocacy, elder law, and estate planning. Our highly credentialed attorneys include two New York Super Lawyers, a former president of the Special Needs Alliance (www.specialneedsalliance.org), and a former president of NAELA (National Association of Elder Law Attorneys). A number of our attorneys have family members with special needs and, therefore, bring personal experience and unique insights to their work. We take a holistic, multi-generational approach to solving problems, recognizing that very few issues exist in isolation. Our long-term client relationships enable us to develop strategies that improve quality of life and build financial security. Special needs planning and special education advocacy are core practices for Littman Krooks, meaning that we are constantly updating ourselves concerning this fast-changing field. Adrienne Arkontaky, Esq., is a former service coordinator, who has on-the-ground experience with the social services that are critical to her clients. She was inspired to become an attorney by the challenges that she faced as the parent of a child with special needs. Margaret Vogt, one of our special education advocates, is chairperson of the New York State Commissioner’s Advisory Panel for Special Education. Littman Krooks has been a pioneer in the area of elder law, which is a hybrid practice, requiring deep understanding of public benefits and tax law, in additional to the many nuances of estate planning. Founding partner Bernard A. Krooks has testified before the U.S. Congress concerning long-term care issues. He is a widely quoted expert on elder law, special needs planning, and estate planning matters and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, Forbes, and many other publications. He is listed in The Best Lawyers in America, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in the World, “The New York Area’s Best Lawyers,” New York Magazine and New York Times (through 2009) and “The Top 25 Lawyers in Westchester County,” Westchester Magazine (2009). Littman Krooks is deeply involved in the community, regularly participating in local events sponsored by organizations that support seniors and individuals with special needs. The synergies between our practices in special needs planning, special education advocacy, elder law, and estate planning enable us to develop far-sighted client solutions that address the unique needs of each family.
