Since 2002, Brumbaugh Law Firm has helped families across Ohio protect assets, avoid probate, and prepare for the challenges of long-term care. From our home office in Sandusky, we serve clients throughout Erie, Ottawa, Lorain, and surrounding counties, building practical plans that give families peace of mind.
With Ohio’s population aging rapidly, nearly 18% of state residents are now 65 or older, according to the American’s Health Rankings, early planning is more important than ever. We focus on clear, practical solutions that work in real life, from revocable and irrevocable trusts to Medicaid planning, powers of attorney, and probate guidance.
Our team believes knowledge comes first. That’s why we invite families to attend our workshop before making important decisions. In each session, we explain wills, trusts, Medicaid planning, and long-term care in clear terms so you can feel confident about your next steps.
Whether you live in Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus, or right along Sandusky Bay, we provide the same structured process: clear planning, well-rounded documents, and ongoing support through membership to keep your plan up to date.
Trusted Elder and Estate Planning Attorneys in Ohio
For over two decades, Brumbaugh Law Firm has helped individuals and families across Ohio prepare for the future with thoughtful estate and elder law planning.
From Sandusky to Huron, and throughout Erie and Ottawa Counties, our goal has always been the same: to protect what you’ve built and give your family a clear plan for care and asset preservation.
Our story began when our founding attorney, Michael Brumbaugh, recognized a problem: most families were never told how to properly plan their estate or protect themselves from the high costs of long-term care.
With a deep passion for teaching and lifelong learning, he entered this field to give families the knowledge and tools they had been missing. That commitment to education still drives everything we do today.
Beyond legal documents, we are active in the communities we serve. Over the years, we’ve offered public workshops at Ohio libraries and senior centers, developed resources for caregivers, and collaborated with local professionals to provide guidance.
Conveniently located near Sandusky Bay, Firelands Regional Medical Center, and the Erie County Courthouse, we remain accessible for both initial planning and ongoing support as circumstances change

Our Process for Ohio Clients
At Brumbaugh Law Firm, we know that peace of mind starts with understanding. That’s why we’ve built a client process focused on education, support, and practical solutions for Ohio families.
Step 1: Learning Comes First
We encourage families to begin with one of our educational workshops. In these sessions, we break down important topics such as wills, trusts, Medicaid planning, and long-term care in clear, everyday language. By starting with knowledge, you can make confident decisions about your next steps.
Step 2: Individualized Planning Session
After a workshop, or when immediate needs arise, you’ll meet with a member of our team for a personal consultation. Here, we take the time to learn about your circumstances, goals, and concerns, so your plan reflects your unique situation.
Step 3: Focused Support When Needed
No two families face the exact same challenges. Some may benefit from elder care navigation to explore care options or coordinate with trusted Ohio facilities. Others may need urgent help with crisis Medicaid planning when a nursing home stay is suddenly required. In either case, we provide guidance tailored to your needs.
Step 4: Creating a Plan That Works
We then bring all the pieces together. Our team makes sure all legal documents, such as powers of attorney and trusts, are properly aligned. This careful coordination helps your plan work in the real world, giving your family security when it matters most.

Understanding Elder Law and Estate Planning for Ohio Families
Elder law and estate planning work hand in hand to help Ohio families protect their future.
Estate planning makes sure your wishes are carried out and your assets are preserved. Tools such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney provide clear direction for loved ones, while strategies like long-term care planning and asset protection help protect property, businesses, and savings.
Elder law addresses the challenges that often come with aging, including Medicaid eligibility, nursing home costs, and health care decision-making. It also covers probate guidance, helping families deal with the court system with less stress.
Together, these services give Ohio families peace of mind, making sure care decisions stay in the family, and your legacy is honored.
