Founded in 2002 by Michael and Pam Brumbaugh, Brumbaugh Law Firm has spent more than two decades helping Ohio families plan for the future with confidence and compassion. What began as a general law practice grew into a trusted elder and estate planning firm rooted in education, transparency, and community.
Michael, a teacher at heart, believes informed decisions are the key to protection and peace of mind. Pam brings a social work background and decades of community service, guiding families through life’s most difficult conversations with care and clarity. Together, they’ve built a holistic, education-first approach, offering workshops, webinars, and personalized planning to help clients safeguard their independence, preserve assets, and protect loved ones.
Why Choose Brumbaugh Law
Education-First Planning: We believe the best protection starts with understanding. Every client begins with an educational workshop that explains how estate and Medicaid planning really work. You’ll learn the rules, the risks, and the strategies that protect your home and assets. That way you can make confident, informed choices for your family.
Rooted in Community: Our work is shaped by the people and places we serve. From Sandusky to Lorain, families, caregivers, and professionals trust us for guidance that feels both personal and practical. We maintain long-standing relationships with local nursing homes and service organizations to help clients access the right care and resources at the right time.
Transparency:
We’re transparent about what we do, and what we don’t. Our firm focuses only on estate and Medicaid planning, making sure every family receives our full attention and honest advice. We guide clients through a clear, structured process that eliminates confusion and delivers peace of mind when it matters most.

Our Mission
At Brumbaugh Elder Law, our mission is to help Ohio families plan with confidence and care. We guide clients through the complicated decisions that come with aging, long-term care, and estate planning. We don’t overwhelm our clients, but teach them how the system works and how to protect what matters most.
Every member of our team, both in the office and behind the scenes, shares a single purpose, to make the planning process understandable, compassionate, and effective. We believe that every family deserves a plan that reflects their values, preserves their independence, and provides lasting peace of mind.
