Practice Areas: Elder , Estate Planning, Health Care & Hospitalization, Nursing Home Negligence, Probate , Trusts, Wills, Elder Law

Admitted to practice law in Georgia since 1994, Daniel D. Munster has invested more than twenty-five years assisting Georgians with various Eldercare, Special Needs, and traditional Estate Planning matters. While his main office is located in Atlanta, Georgia, the firm provides representation to clients across the state without regard to geographic location. When distance presents a challenge, meeting at a satellite office or via video conference is possible.. The opportunity to care for an aging or disabled loved one can be an incredible blessing, yet can also present a minefield fraught with pitfalls for those lacking a comprehensive estate / long-term care plan consisting of the ideal asset structure and legal documents (Wills, Trusts, General Powers of Attorney and/or Medical Directives). Whether the client is adapting their estate in crisis mode because nursing home care is needed in real time or implementing a plan preemptively, Mr. Munster’s goal is always to provide effective and easily understood advice leading to the client’s objective. While the firm offers assistance with traditional estate planning matters, many of Mr. Munster's cases involve long-term care planning and asset protection via nursing home Medicaid and/or VA long-term care benefits.. Mr. Munster's ethical and compassionate approach to the practice of law has earned favorable recognition within the legal community. For example, Martindale-Hubbell has awarded Mr. Munster its highest peer review rating (AV Preeminent) every year since 2005. Atlanta Magazine has named him a SuperLawyer® each year since 2007. Best Lawyers in America® has included Mr. Munster in its rankings (Elder Law / Trusts & Estates) in 2019 and 2020. Finally, U.S. News & World Report ranked Mr. Munster’s law firm among Georgia’s “Tier 1 – Best Law Firms” in the recently released 10th Edition (2020) of their prestigious annual rankings.
