About Carl
Biography
I am an elder law attorney. I help seniors and their caregivers manage, qualify for, and pay for healthcare. I make sure seniors are protected and that no one takes advantage of their vulnerability to steal money or property from them. I handle legal issues like Medicaid planning and applications, estate planning and administration, guardianships, probate litigation, and Veterans' Aid and Attendance applications. I find customized solutions for every client's situation.

Minor compassion and service. Major fees
Required gigantic fee and did not complete service. No refund. Thousands of dollars (($8500) in his pocket and out of ours (mid 80s seniors)
