A Full-Service
Special Needs Planning
Law Firm

We guide overwhelmed families through complex disability systems and form sustainable plans for life

The Clancy & Associates Mission

Our mission is to eliminate the confusion and stress families feel when planning their child’s future.  We do this by guiding confused and overwhelmed families through complex disability systems, forming sustainable plans for life, and building community resources. 

We reignite hope for every individual’s future by freeing the headspace families need to dream again.  We transform complicated requirements into practical steps; we continually network and learn about new laws to remain our clients’ trusted resource.  We, too, are parents and siblings of loved ones who have a disability and know how daunting and exhausting it is to go from firm-to-firm and provider-to-provider to find solutions and help.  

Each child and family’s needs are very different — and we provide tailored, common sense ideas and strategies that reflects your goals, resources, and hopes for your family’s future security.
