 Robert
J. Kurre, Esq. devotes his practice to elder law, estate planning, estate
administration, guardianships, estate litigation, trust litigation, and
planning for elderly and disabled clients.
He is the
managing attorney of Robert J. Kurre & Associates, P.C., located in
Great Neck, New York. Mr. Kurre was admitted to the practice of law in
New York State in 1991.
A lifelong
resident of Long Island, New York, Robert J. Kurre has been a practicing
attorney since he was admitted to the New York State bar in 1991. The
defining moment in his professional life came when he accompanied a close
friend whose grandfather was in poor health to an elder care attorney
for a consultation. During this visit, Robert, who had worked as a litigator
and "in-house" attorney, saw how law could be used to make a
positive impact on people's lives, help protect someone's loved one, and
provide a better quality of life for them when they were most vulnerable.
Soon after,
he transitioned into elder law and estate planning. After working for
one of the leading elder law and estate planning firms in the United States,
Robert opened his own law office in 2001, devoting his practice to:
•
Elder Law
• Estate Planning
• Estate Administration
• Guardianships
• Estate Litigation
• Trust Litigation
• Planning for Elderly and Disabled Clients
His practice
is operated on a relationship-based business model rather than the traditional
transactional-based model. He focuses on building long-term relationships
with his clients, helping them with their lifetime legal needs and creating
life and estate plans with clients of all ages which reflect their values
and wishes, so that they can still control their lives, protect the interests
of their family, and ultimately control their legacies.
Education:
Robert graduated in 1988 magna cum laude from St. John's University and
in 1991 with honors from Hofstra University School of Law. He is one of
approximately 400 attorneys in the United States who have met the stringent
requirements of being certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National
Elder Law Foundation.* He is a member of the Executive Committee of the
New York State Bar Association's Elder Law Section and serves as Co-Chair
of its Elder Law Practice Committee. He is also a former chairman of the
Elder Law Committee of the Nassau County Bar Association. He is also a
member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the New York State
Bar Association's Trusts and Estates Law Section and the Surrogate's Court,
Estates & Trusts Committee of the Nassau County Bar Association.
AWARDS:
In 2006, Robert received an award from the Elder Law Section of the New
York State Bar Association for his work as the Vice Chairman of the Long
Term Care Reform Committee, whose January 2005 report served as the framework
for innovative solutions to long term health care issues in New York.
Named
SUPER LAWYER:
In 2011, Robert was named for the fourth time as a Super Lawyer, which
is an exclusive listing of peer-nominated attorneys recognized for excellence
in their respective areas of practice. He was honored as an Elder Law
attorney. He has taught continuing education classes to other attorneys

Elder Law Attorney, has been quoted in Newsday's "Ask The Expert"
and "Gray Matters" columns, and has lectured to a multitude
of community and professional groups regarding topics related to his areas
of practice.
When he is
not busy with his practice, Robert enjoys karate (he is a first degree
black belt in Chinese Kenpo), baseball, playing softball, and traveling.
He lives on Long Island with his wife, Debbie, a social worker, and his
daughters, Amanda and Sophia. They currently support the Long Island Council
on Alcohol and Drug Dependence, the National MS Society, the American
Diabetes Association, the Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island, and multiple
