About Margaret
Margaret McNulty practices elder law and operates a small, client-centered firm. She has been a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys since 2015, a connection that informs how she approaches the legal issues facing older adults and their families. Her work is grounded in the specifics of aging, long-term care, and the legal tools people use to plan for later life.
Her career has been shaped by steady, practice-oriented work rather than by headlines. She runs the Law Office of Margaret McNulty and spends most of her time advising individuals and families on matters that arise as people age. That includes counseling on planning choices, helping families understand care options, and guiding them through legal processes that can feel technical and unfamiliar.
Her practice often involves drafting and updating estate planning documents, advising on Medicaid eligibility and long-term care strategies, and handling guardianship and probate matters. She works on documents meant to protect autonomy and ease transitions: powers of attorney, advance directives, trusts and wills. The cases she handles tend to require a mix of legal knowledge and practical problem solving.
Clients describe her approach as straightforward. She explains complex rules in plain language and breaks down next steps into manageable pieces. She pays attention to procedural details while keeping the client’s immediate concerns in view. That practical orientation helps when deadlines, paperwork and timelines intersect with medical and family decision-making.
Her membership in the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, beginning in 2015, keeps her connected to peers and to continuing education in the field. That professional affiliation signals ongoing engagement with legal developments affecting older adults, from benefit programs to changes in guardianship law. She draws on that network when cases raise technical or novel questions.
At the Law Office of Margaret McNulty she maintains a small practice model that emphasizes personal contact and continuity. She typically works directly with clients through intake, planning and follow-up rather than handing work off to a large team. Her current practice focuses on elder law and related planning matters.
