"I just received the good news from you and your firm today that my parents were approved for Medicaid thanks to your superior work and unwavering dedication. I wanted to write to express more than my heartfelt thanks to you for everything you have done for my family and me. Also, since I have written many times during these past months, about questions, concerns and my other issues that I was nervous or concerned about; yet you have never failed to take the time to get back to me on all counts and thoroughly explain the next steps to me. I am sincerely grateful to you and do not forget those who have helped me in life. It would have been impossible to care for my parents without your knowledge, support and compassion. I am deeply indebted to you and extend my heartfelt thanks to you."

Our Promise
Our clients see us when their lives are troubled by death or disability of someone they love and they need something beyond correct legal advice. By keeping these principles at the center of everything we do here at Landsman Law Group, we promise to treat our clients with compassion and dignity.
ADVOCACY
Our task is to achieve the lawful goals sought by our clients. We do not shy away from difficult cases, but neither do we let clients be drawn into unwanted disputes.
COMPETENCE
We seek to do excellent work at all times, but if we don’t do it right the first time, we will fix it on our time and at our expense.
FAIRNESS
When we have a dispute with clients, we go out of our way to be fair and sympathetic to their views because that is the right thing to do.
FRANKNESS
When there is a problem, we tell the client, and then promptly offer to work on how to solve it.
HUMOR
Life is too short not to laugh a lot with clients over our common oddities and struggles, when the time is right.
KINDNESS
Clients come to us when they are worried and seek our help exactly because we know the rules and they do not. We strive to answer all of their questions with patience and kindness.
RELIABILITY
Our strengths as a team are competence, perseverance, and integrity. The team provides guidance, structure and support to enable individuals to do their best work.
RESPECT
Honesty and Respect are essential elements of our practice: we expect it of ourselves and of our clients.
SERIOUSNESS
It may be law to us, but to our clients, it is their lives. We respect the gravity of the problems they bring to us and give their work the attention it deserves.
WARMTH
We go as slow as they need, strive to be patient, listen carefully, and respond to their questions and their concerns as we hope the advisors for our parents and spouses would.
