Malkie Scher, Esq.

Special Needs Planning and Guardianship

Malkie Scher is a dedicated attorney for families navigating the complexities of the special needs landscape. Her practice focuses on Guardianship and Special Needs Planning, where she provides parents and caregivers with the tools they need to protect and provide for their loved ones with intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Malkie assists families in obtaining legal guardianship to ensure lifelong protection and advocacy for those who cannot manage their own affairs. Recognizing that long-term security is equally vital, she also specializes in creating Special Needs Trusts. These specialized tools are designed to enhance a beneficiary’s quality of life while carefully preserving their eligibility for essential government benefits.

Malkie’s deep commitment to this field is rooted in her previous experience as a Special Education attorney, where she fought for parents in tuition lawsuits against the NYC Department of Education. Her passion for this work began long before her legal career; for years, she has actively worked and volunteered with various organizations dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities.
