Andrea R. Capita, Esq. Formerly Andrea Di Dio, Esq. |
|
Andrea is a licensed attorney in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She prides herself on having a strong passion for communicating with clients on a personal level and assisting them through the difficult times and unfortunate circumstances that members of our aging community face. Andrea is also a VA Accredited Attorney who helps Veterans and their families become eligible for healthcare and pension benefits. Working with and educating Veterans and their families is a personal mission for Andrea. She feels a personal responsibility to Veterans because her grandfather was a World War II Veteran who would have been eligible for these benefits had he known they existed. These experiences motivate Andrea to dedicate her time to educating the community and assisting clients so fewer families are unprepared.
Andrea services clients throughout northern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania. She has been a Pike County resident since she was a child and has a strong connection to the area. This connection motivated her to extend her practice back home where she maintains our Milford office. Outside of her practice, Andrea volunteers at local senior centers and participates at walks for various causes. She also enjoys boating and sailing on Lake Wallenpaupack with her family and friends and is an avid wakeboarder. Andrea is a member of the New Jersey State Bar Association, the Passaic County Bar Association, the Bergen County Bar Association, the Monroe County Bar association and the Pike County Bar Association. She is a member of Elder Counsel and belongs to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Greater New Jersey Estate Planning Council. |
