Legal Services for Individuals with Special Needs
An important part of our practice at Moschella & Winston is the management and protection of public benefits of persons with injuries, illness, or developmental disabilities. We are a member the Special Needs Alliance, a non-profit national organization of expert attorneys who focus their practices on these types of services.

Our goal is to enhance the quality of life of your special needs family member, and to support the other family members, by helping to obtain the benefits that the disabled individual deserves while preserving his or her dignity and quality of care and life.
