Special Needs Alliance

The Special Needs Alliance, or SNA, is an invitation-only network of leading disability and public benefits lawyers. SNA member lawyers work to secure Medicaid and other public benefits for disabled individuals of all ages. They help plan for the future care and financial security of children with special needs and anyone who has become permanently disabled as the result of personal injury or medical malpractice by tailoring estate plans that protect and maximize life savings. Their national scope also ensures you will work with an SNA lawyer who is well versed in the specific laws and public benefits eligibility requirements in your state.
