Attorney James A. Ritter has been focusing on legal issues affecting older Americans in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years. As the population of the United States ages, Elder Law is more important than ever. There are nearly 50 million people in our country who are over the age of 65, and that number is rapidly climbing. By 2020, it is estimated that almost 17% of the US population will be over the age of 65.

Elder Law concentrates on legal concerns affecting the aging population such as issues related to medical assistance planning, guardianships, estate planning, and estate administration.
