An Attorney​ Who Listens

“I understand the value of empathetic counsel…”

I am the parent of a child with special needs and a retired U.S. Army veteran with more than 20 years of active-duty service.

I have been through my own journey as the parent of a special needs child. I understand the value of empathetic counsel when you are trying to protect the wellbeing of everyone involved as well as the future of an estate.

Wills, trusts, guardianships and other tools of estate planning are critical protections for any individual. They are especially important to individuals with disabilities or managing some degree of incapacity. To use them appropriately, clients need attorneys who will take the time to understand the uniqueness of their circumstances and to explain the relevant options so that they are equipped as decision-makers.

Every client’s situation is unique. And I am committed to empowering each of my clients with the knowledge and legal tools that they need for their particular situation.

Sincerely,

Robert Mihara
Lt. Col. (Ret.), U.S. Army
Attorney at Law

Practice Areas​

Special Needs Guardianships

Sometimes a loved one has diminished capacity to manage their affairs.​​ My firm can help you to identify the legal instrument that both protects them and also preserves as much of their personal liberty as possible.

Special Needs Planning

The legal authority to act for a special needs family member is just one part of protecting their best interests. Managing their income and assets to provide for their well-being is also essential.​​

General Estate Planning

Avoiding disputes between beneficiaries and protecting eligibility for public benefits are important for any estate. Simple errors and omissions in a will could frustrate your intentions. And a generic will could inadvertently disqualify you for public benefits just when they become necessary.

Veteran’s Benefits

Veterans may benefit from hiring an attorney to file their disability claim with the VA. An attorney can provide knowledge and experience to navigate the claims process, maximize benefits, assist with appeals and denials, and reduce stress. This can increase the likelihood of a successful outcome and ensure that the veteran receives the benefits they deserve.

From the Law Office of Robert Mihara:

Occasionally, an opportunity arrives that you cannot pass up.

On May 1, 2023, I accepted a one-year legal fellowship with the San Antonio Legal Services Association (SA-LSA) to help expand their housing and homelessness program. Tenant rights and homelessness are issues that have long been close to my heart. And so, I didn't hesitate to accept an offer to help those facing life without shelter.

Because of my responsibilities as legal fellow, I will not be accepting clients for extended representation until after March 2024. To be clear, this fellowship is a pause rather than a departure from the elder law work that I care so much about.

I look forward to helping special needs families and veterans plan and prepare for their future again when I return to full time solo practice next Spring.
