Preparing for the future is important today

The term "elder law" is used to focus on the special legal rights, unique challenges and day to day issues faced by senior citizens. Attorneys who work in this field need to master an ever-changing body of law, legislation and regulations that deal with financial planning, healthcare and housing, discrimination, abuse and fraud.

The baby boomer generation is technically defined as people born between 1946 and 1964, or people who are currently in their 50’s 60’s and 70’s. As this generation becomes senior citizens, the need for in-home care and all types of nursing care will increase dramatically. The planning and execution of legal issues around elder care require experience and attention to detail. Rely on us to ensure that you and your family is prepared for whatever challenges you face as you age.
