Brainin Law Office operates from 2855 Kifer Road, Suite 220, Santa Clara, CA 95051, specializing in elder law and Medi-Cal planning services. Their practice covers a wide range of issues including Medi-Cal planning, asset protection, VA benefits, incapacity planning, long-term care needs, and traditional estate planning.
