During my legal career, I have been fortunate to have been exposed to many different areas of the law. That exposure has included representation of public sector clients and assisting those clients in litigation matters, various land use matters, contract matters, employer/employee matters, adoptions, and guardianship. However, it was my work on the guardianship matters that truly piqued my interest in elder law. Nothing satisfied me more or felt more rewarding then helping someone who needed help. To know you made a difference in someone’s life and helped that individual in some small way was a great feeling.
It was the realization that I had a passion for elder law that brought me to CLDD&S. I have been given the opportunity to do something I love. I believe my passion for elder law is evident in dealing with my clients. I want to help them with whatever their needs may be, from drafting a simple will or power of attorney to assisting them with more complex matters such as Medicare/Medicaid planning.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Working with Annemarie on a guardianship matter was a pleasure. She was knowledgeable and responsive at all times, which is not easy to find. Further, she remained a staunch advocate for her client throughout the proceeding. I would highly recommend Annemarie for anyone looking for an elder law attorney.
