What is elder law, and how can it benefit my family?
Elder law focuses on legal issues affecting seniors, including estate planning, long-term care, Medicaid, and elder abuse protection. It helps families safeguard assets, plan for care, and prevent disputes, providing peace of mind as loved ones age.
How do I know if I need a power of attorney?
You may need a power of attorney if you want someone to manage your financial, medical, or legal affairs if you’re unable to do so. It’s essential for situations like illness, travel, or incapacity, ensuring your trusted person can make decisions on your behalf.
What should I do if I suspect exploitation of a loved one?
If you suspect exploitation of a loved one, act quickly by documenting any signs of abuse or suspicious behavior. Report your concerns to adult protective services or law enforcement, and consult an attorney to explore legal options for protection and recovery.
What can I expect during the legal process for elder law cases?
The legal process typically involves an initial consultation to assess your loved one’s needs, followed by creating personalized plans for issues like estate planning, long-term care, or guardianship. We will guide you through documentation, filings, and any necessary court proceedings, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Top Ten Mistakes I See as an Elder Law Attorney
Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at Indian River Colony Club(IRCC) and presenting on a topic that has become very important to me throughout my years of practice: “Top Ten Mistakes I See as an Elder Law Attorney.”
We had a fantastic turnout, and I truly enjoyed the opportunity to share some of the common mistakes I see in my practice and discuss ways individuals and families can be more proactive when it comes to estate planning, long-term care planning, and preparing for the future.
I want to extend a special thank you to Timothy Wood and the many others who helped organize and coordinate the event. So much work happens behind the scenes to make presentations like this possible, and I am incredibly appreciative of everyone who helped make the event such a success.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who attended, asked thoughtful questions, and took the time to spend part of their day with me. One of my favorite parts of what I do is having the opportunity to get out into our community, meet with people face-to-face, and provide information that can help families feel more prepared for whatever the future may bring.
Thank you, IRCC, for such a warm welcome and a wonderful event! I look forward to visiting again soon.
