Guardianship
If a person becomes incapacitated, as a result of mental or physical problems, an interested party can petition the Orphans’ Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas for the County in which that person resides to declare that person incapacitated and to appoint a guardian for their estate or for their person, or both. The Court - not the person who files the petition (the "petitioner") - nor the person who is the subject of the proceeding (the "respondent") - makes the determination as to who will be appointed, if the court decides to appoint a guardian. In that sense almost every guardianship proceeding can be seen as a failure to do proper advance planning.

Criminal Defense
I have been an attorney for more than thirty years. For most of that time my office was in Media, Pennsylvania, the county seat of Delaware County, just outside of Philadelphia. It is now in Drexel Hill, Delaware County. I have practiced in a number of areas, including criminal defense, civil litigation, and administrative law. For more than thirty years I have successfully represented Social Security disability claimant both before the Social Security Administration and in the Federal Courts. For the last ten years most of my practice has been in the area known as Elder law which includes Social Security Law. I have had extensive experience with guardianship proceedings, powers of attorney, estate planning taking into account persons with future needs of medical assistance or special needs, and the settlement of decedents’ estates.

Personal Injury
I no longer handle general personal injury cases, such as auto accidents, but about 10 years ago I experienced as series of incidents in which I discovered that some of my clients and some of my relatives clearly did not know what to do, and what information to exchange in the event on an auto accident. As a result I wrote a short guide. You may click here to down load this brochure and place it in your glove compartment. If you are injured, and need a referral to a competent personal injury attorney, I will be happy to make a recommendation. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Michael Friedman is an attorney with more than thirty years experience, with an office in the suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area. His practice is devoted primarily to Social Security Disability, Elder Law and Administrative law. He has successfully handled civil and administrative litigation with the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and, of course, the Social Security Administration, as well as other Federal and state agencies.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning is particularly important for people who are married with minor children, older adults who have a disabled spouse or disabled adult child, or nontraditional families or couples.
Wills
Estate Planning is the process whereby a person creates legal documents that outline the disposition of personal and real property upon death. The most common legal tools used are the Last Will and Testament and a Living Will. The specific documents that are necessary depend upon your specific situation.
Trusts
A special needs trust is a trust designed to provide benefits to a person who is receiving a ‘Needs qualified’ government benefit, such as Medical Assistance or Social Security Supplemental Security Income without disqualifying the recipient from receiving those benefits. [return to top]
Power of Attorney
In addition, a person who has had any history of mental health problems should consider doing a Mental Health Power of Attorney. [return to top]
