Help me help more people!
If you have been checking my website, I previously had an SOS message about my larger-than-I-can-manage caseload. With the help of others, I have now caught up and am not overwhelmed. I am accepting new clients. My capacity for crisis cases is still a bit diminished, but improving. I am still looking for another attorney who wants to fall in love with the practice of Elder Law.
Please spread the word: HELP WANTED!
Seeking mature, passionate and motivated attorney desiring to dedicate their legal career to all things aging: Estate planning, long-term care planning, estate administration, and crisis and safety planning support for clients and their family and friends.
This nine-year profitable business model is based on traditional social work principles and values that are professionally and personally satisfying. Because we serve clients who are dealing with some of the hardest issues in life: death, disability, painful family dynamics, mortality and one's legacy, candidates need to be emotionally secure, well grounded, and have a demonstrated ability to set healthy boundaries.
If interested, please call and schedule an introductory Zoom meeting.
