Every day at Burzynski Elder Law, we help seniors, caregivers, and families navigate the complicated maze of long-term care planning in Florida. Aging brings with it a host of questions—about health, housing, legal documents, and finances—that can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even frightening. Our mission is to walk alongside you and your loved ones, offering expert guidance, compassionate support, and customized legal solutions at every step.
Whether you’re planning for your own future or responding to an unexpected health diagnosis in the family, we’re here to help. Our team works directly with you and your caregivers to craft a tailored legal plan—one that is grounded in Florida elder law and built to protect your well-being, preserve your assets, and ensure access to the care you need.
From establishing advance directives and durable powers of attorney, to navigating Medicaid eligibility and VA benefits, to protecting assets from nursing home spend-downs, we take the uncertainty out of aging. We help you understand the law, plan ahead, and secure the support you deserve.
At Burzynski Elder Law, we believe that knowledge is power—and peace of mind. That’s why education is central to everything we do. When our clients understand their options, they feel empowered to make confident, informed decisions that reflect their goals, values, and family dynamics.
To support this mission, we created Ask the Expert: An Elder Law Minute, a valuable online resource for seniors, adult children, and caregivers in Naples and throughout Southwest Florida. This is a space where you can get answers to your most pressing questions about elder law, long-term care planning, and aging with dignity.
Each entry is designed to be quick, clear, and actionable—offering you insight in just a few minutes. Whether you’re wondering how Medicaid works in Florida, whether your aging parent needs a guardianship, or how to legally pay for assisted living without going broke, this section is for you.
Jill Burzynski, founder of Burzynski Elder Law, has spent more than three decades guiding Florida families through the legal and practical challenges of aging. She was the first board-certified elder law attorney to open a practice in Collier County and is a nationally recognized authority in her field.
Jill’s professional knowledge is matched by deep personal insight. Her passion for elder law intensified when her own father was diagnosed with dementia. As she navigated his care journey, she experienced firsthand the emotional and financial challenges so many families face—and saw just how critical proper legal planning can be.
That experience transformed her approach and reaffirmed her commitment to helping others. Jill’s work is grounded not just in legal expertise, but in genuine understanding. When you work with our firm, you can trust that you’re receiving both compassionate counsel and highly skilled representation.
In An Elder Law Minute, Jill shares the questions she hears most often from clients, along with the guidance she gives in real-life situations. Topics include:
Each topic is presented in a way that’s easy to understand—without legal jargon or unnecessary complexity. Our goal is to make Florida elder law accessible, relatable, and relevant to your life today.

It’s about having a plan in place before a crisis strikes, so that you’re never forced to make decisions under pressure or without proper support.
