Attorney Mark Munson is a natural born advocate. He’s motivated to have a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of every client and their families.
For nearly 30 years, Mark has successfully helped individuals and families navigate some of life’s most difficult decisions, often in the most precarious situations. He understands that when a loved one requires long-term care, a family member has special needs, or a financial crisis threatens years of hard-earned savings, the complex legal and government systems involved can feel overwhelming and complex.
Mark focuses his elder law practice on Medicaid crisis and eligibility planning, special needs planning, asset protection, long-term care planning, and taxation in those practice areas. Whether assisting a single individual, a married couple, or a family caring for a loved one with disabilities, he helps clients understand their options and move forward with confidence.
Known for his deep knowledge of Medicaid and elder law, Mark guides clients through complicated rules and processes with a steady, practical approach. He believes that having a trusted advisor to walk alongside you can make all the difference when facing unfamiliar and often stressful circumstances. He genuinely believes in adding value to his clients’ lives and strives to ensure they benefit from his counsel long after the matter at hand is resolved.
A Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA), Mark is frequently invited to share his knowledge with attorneys and other professionals at national conferences, State Bar programs, and continuing legal education events. Widely regarded as a leading authority on Medicaid planning, special needs planning, and taxation in those areas, he is often called upon by fellow elder law attorneys for guidance on complex cases.
Mark’s ability to teach others stems from a simple principle: when you truly understand the law, you can help others understand it as well. The same knowledge that allows him to educate professionals across the country helps him deliver practical, effective solutions for the clients and families he serves day in and day out.
When he’s not crisscrossing the country to educate attorneys on elder law planning techniques, Mark is a devoted father of three. He is a voracious reader who loves music, often travelling to concerts. He has yet to miss a U2 tour!
