Welcome to Herndon Law, P.C.

Virginia Estate Planning, Elder Law, Guardianship & Veterans Benefits Law.

Planning for Peace of Mind

When a family member has been diagnosed with a serious illness or has trouble completing activities of daily living, the time comes to discuss potential avenues to pay for at-home care, or nursing home care. Long term care planning allows you to pay for the care your loved one needs and deserves, while preserving and protecting your loved one’s assets. Although most people don’t think about at-home care or nursing home care until reaching a certain age, we strongly urge people of all ages to consider long term care planning for their future, and the future of their loved ones.

Build a Blueprint for your Legacy

Without a will, your estate must go through probate, leaving it up to the court to determine how your assets should be distributed. However, with proper estate planning you can provide your surviving family members with legal direction on how to distribute your assets, and fulfill your final wishes in a way that is cost-effective, fast, and easy on your loved ones. Together, we’ll work with you to ensure a well-designed estate plan that will be effectively executed and administered.

We recently engaged Sheryl's assistance the with the planning and development of our trusts, powers of attorney and advanced directives. Sheryl's comprehensive knowledge of Elderlaw,combined with her genuine concern for her clients, definitely made our experience more comfortable and pleasant than we ever imagined. Sheryl had infinite patience with our questions, always taking the time to explain things in terms that we could understand. Sheryl and her staff are wonderful and we highly recommend her practice.

Everyone we worked with at Herndon Law was wonderful, and I would say that even if they had not managed my situation to the best possible outcome. This is the premier small law firm in Virginia and I highly recommend them.

Sheryl has gotten the process of creating the legal necessities for eldercare down to a science. She is efficient, reasonably priced and a delight to deal with in an area of sensitive matters. The entire team is delightful and professional. They were great with my husband who has a neurodegenerative disease that makes information processing difficult. They addressed him respectfully but clearly wanted to be certain that he understood exactly what he was signing. Very impressed!

I worked with Kevin O'Donnell and his staff and am very impressed with my original consultation and look forward to have him help me resolve my problems. I feel like they all went beyond my expectations. Lots of time spent with me and set up a program to work thru issues in what they felt is the proper sequence, They have given me faith in our legal system after many false starts from other attorneys.

The team at Herndon were very helpful to our family. We needed to move my mother-in-law to Medicaid, which was a very complex process, and they were very helpful in making that happen. We also had to get a Guardianship and Conservatorship and submit annual reports for that and they helped us through that giant mound of paperwork. Professional, helpful and compassionate. Would very much recommend.
