I'm older than some of my elder law colleagues, having lived a full life, experiencing marriage, divorce, births, and injuries and deaths of friends, family, and collegagues.  I'm fortunate to have an office manager, Sandy, who also has lived a full life, experiencing tough situations that enable her to understand the importance of our work with others.  As members of the sandwich generation, we both have cared for children and godchildren, parents and grandparents.  So, we've seen alot and we know the importance of understanding each family's unique situation.
