Practicing Law Like A Social Worker
Welcome to my Website! On this site—and in my practice—my intention is to provide you with information and resources as you seek legal, practical, and therapeutic guidance with the following
|
Important life transitions
- Making plans and executing documents that reflect your values and wishes for your healthcare, property/estate, finances, and quality of life
- Discussing options, and assessing financial resources to pay for long-term healthcare
- Coordinating care for an elderly loved one who has lost some independence and needs assistance with activities of daily living
- Leaving a marriage with a fair settlement that prioritizes healthy, non-adversarial relationships
- Planning for your spouse, child, or other loved one who might need assistance after you die
