Massachusetts Health Care Law
Worcester County, Massachusetts
Medical Intervention and Guardianship Lawyer
Julie E. Reardon practices primarily in the area of health care law and elder law relating to people who cannot make medical decisions on their own. With the resources of Reardon & Reardon, Attorneys at Law, she provides legal advocacy for families, nursing homes, and health care providers on behalf of incapacitated persons to get them the care they need.
We represent families and care providers throughout Worcester County, Massachusetts, including Fitchburg, Leominster, Milford, Gardner, Westborough and all surrounding communities, including Springfield. Ms. Reardon is in Worcester Probate and Family Court on a regular basis, often in urgent or emergency situations, to get the legal authority for her clients to act on behalf of people who are:
- mentally ill or declared incompetent
- mentally disabled or incapacitated (Alzheimer's, dementia)
- physically incapacitated by stroke, coma or major illness
- in treatment for alcohol or drug addiction
A nursing home or other care provider may need consent for medication or surgery for a patient whose relatives are not accessible. Perhaps you have a family member who needs to be committed to a mental health facility, chemical dependency treatment center, or long-term care facility. Or maybe you and a sibling cannot agree about what to do about a parents' failing health. Whatever your issue, we can offer sound legal advice and swift court action when necessary.
Conservatorship and Guardianship Lawyers
Reardon & Reardon, Attorneys at Law, can establish conservatorships and guardianships to arrange for the treatment of family members who cannot care for themselves or make their own decisions about health or financial matters. This can include a health care proxy or living will spelling out medical interventions prior to a crisis, and appointment of a family member, friend, or third party who is given durable power of attorney to act on the person's behalf.
Contact the Massachusetts health care law attorneys at Reardon & Reardon, Attorneys at Law, 24 hours a day in crisis situations regarding a family member or patient. We offer free initial consultations, with evening and weekend appointments available, and have access to Spanish and Portuguese interpreters.
