At Butcher Elder Law, we help Northeast Ohio families prepare for life's most important moments. Whether you're planning for long-term care, a loved one with special needs, Medicaid qualification, veterans benefits, business succession, or simply getting your estate documents in order, we build a plan around your life and your goals.

Our founder, Samuel V. Butcher, Esq., RPh, CELA, brings over 25 years of experience and a background that sets him apart. Sam is one of Ohio's few Certified Elder Law Attorneys, a distinction earned through rigorous examination and peer recognition by the National Elder Law Foundation, the only ABA-accredited elder law certification in the country. He is also a licensed Registered Pharmacist, giving him a firsthand understanding of the medical realities families face as loved ones age or decline.

Elder law is not a side practice here. It is the only thing we do. Day in and day out, our team prepares trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives, applies for long-term care Medicaid, plans for veterans benefits, assists with guardianships, facilitates probate estates, and administers trusts.

Our approach is hands-on, compassionate, and thorough. We take the time to understand each client's family, values, and goals before recommending a path forward. Every client is educated throughout the process and always remains the final decision-maker. We work closely with families and their professional advisors to make sure every plan is understood and carried out the right way.

Flat-rate, tiered pricing makes quality legal planning accessible for every budget, with no surprises along the way.

We proudly serve clients throughout Cuyahoga, Medina, Lorain, Summit, Portage, Geauga, and Lake Counties.
