This recognition is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey, reflecting the high esteem in which Lawrence Eric Davidow is held by other top lawyers in the same geographic and legal practice area.
Mr. Davidow is the senior and managing partner of Davidow, Davidow, Siegel & Stern, redirecting the firm, originally founded in 1913 by his grandfather, into one of the first and most successful Elder Law, Special Needs, and Estate Planning practices on Long Island. He was a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, almost from its inception, which sparked his awareness of the public's need for Elder Law education. He is committed to informing elders, the disabled, and their families to their rights, and utilizes his skill as an informative, enjoyable speaker on a local and national level to accomplish this goal. He is also a CELA (Certified Elder Law Attorney) that is a certification which required the additional steps of passing a six-hour bar-type exam and satisfying strict criteria by the National Elder Law Foundation, which is not affiliated with any governmental authority, but is recognized by the American Bar Association. This designation is not mandated by New York State, but, although not required, it clearly illustrates the depth of his dedication and commitment to this area of the law.
Most recently, Mr. Davidow has written "Listen to Lawrence" if you're PLANNING TO KEEP IT, an explanation of Elder Law planning for New Yorkers. Available on Amazon, the book is intended to help older people and their families with the legal issues they face as they age. The book was inspired by his wildly popular "Listen to Lawrence Letter" which is an electronic letter distributed twice a week and provides clear answers to real questions from clients and friends. He also provides free education via videos and podcasts available on the firm's website.
