Our Services

Pierro, Connor & Strauss strives to deliver legal solutions that give you confidence and control over your future. Our services include:

Medicaid Planning

Paying for long-term care can quickly drain a lifetime of savings. Our attorneys help families navigate the complex Medicaid application process, helping you or a loved one gain eligibility for benefits while protecting assets. From structuring trusts to advising on income limits, we manage the details so you can focus on your loved ones.

Long-term Care Planning

Planning for future healthcare needs is essential, particularly as families face the high costs of nursing homes, assisted living, or in-home care. New York City and Long Island have some of the highest elder care costs in the country, making proper planning essential. Without a clear strategy for Medicaid eligibility, asset protection, and long-term care, families can find themselves unprepared for the financial burdens of aging. That’s why New Yorkers turn to Pierro, Connor & Strauss—to protect their future, preserve their assets, and secure peace of mind for their loved ones.

We will collaborate with you to develop a plan that balances care preferences with financial realities, so you or your loved ones receive quality care without unnecessary financial stress.

Estate Planning

Whether you are drafting a last will and testament, setting up healthcare proxies, durable powers of attorney or creating trusts, our NYC Estate Planning Attorneys work to make your wishes both clearly documented and legally binding, while protecting your interests against unexpected events. Our goal is to preserve your assets, and we will help you pass them on to the people and causes that matter most.

Trust Planning

Trusts are an essential tool for managing your assets. Whether it is to avoid probate or to protect your family members’ futures, we will help you choose and set up the right trust for your needs, including revocable, irrevocable, and special needs trusts.

Asset Protection

From creditors to lawsuits to the soaring cost of health and long-term care, your wealth can be vulnerable to various risks. Asset protection strategies can secure your financial stability for years to come. We will use proven methods to shield your assets and keep them secure for your family or designated beneficiaries.

Estate Litigation and Probate

When a loved one passes away, the legal process of probate can be complicated and contentious. Our team offers guidance in managing probate matters, resolving disputes, and faithfully administering your loved one’s estate according to their wishes. If necessary, we will assist with estate litigation, including will contests, guardianship and claims against the estate.

A huge debt of gratitude to Lou Pierro and his team for outstanding professionalism in an angst fueled time. And a giant THANK YOU to Anthony Khatchoui for spearheading the effort to painstakingly listen to and explain in plain language all the legalese to my 85yr old mother. He made her feel confident enough to execute a new will and trusts over a Zoom call. No small feat. Anthony’s kindness and calm demeanor brought us much comfort!! This is the kind of care everyone hopes to receive and Pierro, Connor, and Strauss deliver beautifully!

– Ellen B.

I am so very grateful for Lou and his team. There are three things I look for in business. First and foremost is integrity. Honesty and trustworthiness are absolutely essential. Second, is there a high commitment to professionalism? Is the service provided with the highest level of competence? Finally, customer service. Is this a business where I may ask a question and get a timely response. On all three points I have found Lou and his team to be absolutely outstanding. Honest, professional and caring. I offer my heartfelt appreciation for this fantastic team along with my highest recommendation. In a world where these values are in short supply, these folks are a treasure.

– Sandy C.

Navigating the Medicaid system is a daunting task at the best of times. Trying to care for a loved one simultaneously makes the task overwhelming. Pierro, Connor and Strauss provided invaluable guidance every step of the way. Frank showed such care and compassion for my Mom, and explained every option available to help obtain the care my Mom needed. I would tell anyone close to retirement or with aging parents to call Pierro, Conner and Strauss today. Don’t wait until you need a health care proxy, or power or attorney or a trust to call. I had to care for my Mom at the same time I was navigating the system, and without Pierro, Conner and Strauss, I would not have been to to do it.
