Founder Tim Nay came to the law as an experienced psychologist and licensed clinical social worker. As a result, making a positive difference in our clients’ lives is a hallmark of Nay & Friedenberg’s mission and culture.
Our staff are recruited and trained to offer kindness, understanding and patience to our clients, as evidenced by our clients’ comments in their five-star Google ratings, available online.
With over 132 years of combined Elder Law and Estate Planning experience, Nay & Friedenberg attorneys are compassionate, caring listeners who can understandably explain complex legal concepts and strategies.
Our documents are written to enable our clients to understand what they read, without a legal dictionary. We customize clients’ documents to fit their individual wishes, rather than forcing a “one size fits all” solution to their planning.
But the biggest difference between Nay & Friedenberg and other estate planners, as expressed by our clients, is our commitment to find creative, effective legal pathways to your peace of mind. Our most frequent source of referrals is satisfied clients.

“I met with Brett to learn about Medicaid options for my father. Brett took the time to answer my questions and explained things very clearly. He was a pleasure to deal with!”
