Whether you are trying to protect a parent, prepare for the future, avoid unnecessary court involvement, or put the right estate plan in place for your own peace of mind, choosing the right law firm is about more than credentials. You want a team that understands what is at stake, explains things clearly, and helps you move forward with confidence.
At Virginia Elder Law, we help individuals and families through some of life’s most important planning decisions. For some, that begins after a health scare, a diagnosis, or a sudden care need. For others, it starts with the desire to get ahead of future problems, protect a spouse, preserve assets, or make sure children are not left with confusion later. In every case, our role is the same: bring clarity to complex decisions and help people take the next right step.
The work we do is about helping people protect what matters—independence, relationships, financial security, and the plans they have made for the future.
Some come to us facing immediate concerns like long-term care decisions or Medicaid questions. Others want to plan ahead, ensure their wishes are clearly documented, and make things easier for those around them. Wherever someone starts, they are looking for the same thing: clear answers and a path forward that makes sense.
That is how we approach every case. We listen first, explain options in plain English, and focus on practical solutions that people can feel confident putting into place.
We believe people deserve more than a rushed explanation or a stack of paperwork.
They deserve guidance they can understand, a plan that fits their life, and a team that recognizes the weight of these decisions.
Our role is to bring clarity to complex situations and help people move forward with confidence, whether they are planning ahead or responding to a difficult moment.
Virginia Elder Law was founded by Ron Feinman, who began his legal career working alongside his father and developed a broad foundation in litigation, real estate, tax, and estate planning. Over time, his work shifted toward helping individuals and families navigate the kinds of real-life situations that don’t come with simple answers. Things such as long-term care decisions, protecting assets, and planning for the future with confidence.
That focus became the foundation of the firm: providing clear, practical guidance to help people make informed decisions during both expected and unexpected life transitions.

EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Posted on Google RickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Navigating issues surrounding elder care and asset protection is tough. Ron, and his staff, earn an A+ from me for their knowledge, care, and attention to details. Needing their services for my mom was sad; the outcome was wonderful. I will forever be grateful.Posted on Google DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ron Feinman is an outstanding lawyer in elder care. We cannot recommend him enough as he helped wade through the complexities of our parents affairs. He has also greatly helped friends. The other office staff are exceptional and efficient.Posted on Google JimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good fair lawyer. He gave me good sound advice. I spoke with him on the phone 3 times .I had an in person meeting with him for consultation. It turns out that I didn't hire him because I chose a different avenue to reach my goals. It was no fault on his part . We just decided I didn't need his services. He was very helpful in guiding me to the lawyers that specializes in what I needed. He never even charged me a nicke for his consultation or his advice. I would recommend him to anyone who is trying to do some estate planning .it is difficult navigating the Medicade system for elderly and the nursing homes. He can help with that. I believe Ron Fineman is good estate planning lawyer and I think he is a good guy. Give him a try.
