Prior to this, Michael had nearly 20 years experience in the area of Medicaid Planning, Elder Law and Estate and Trust planning working for one of the State’s premier elder law and special needs law firms. In June 2022, Michael joined as a partner with Michael A. Gold to form Gold and Dezik, Attorneys at Law.

“After being locked indoors for two-years, it became obvious that being close to family was paramount, especially with our two young children. I am proud to be a part of such a dynamic and long-historied law practice and look forward to bringing my knowledge and background to the place where I grew up and call home.”
