About Robert Kurre

Robert J. Kurre, Esq. is the managing partner of Kurre Schneps LLP. A lifelong resident of Long Island, New York, Robert J. Kurre was admitted to the New York State bar, as well as the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York, 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 for a major insurance firm, saw how law could best 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 thereafter, Robert transitioned into elder law and estate planning.

Following significant employment experience with a New York City law firm recognized as 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, estate and trust litigation, guardianships, planning for elderly and disabled clients, and special needs planning.

Robert’s 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.
