Practice areas
- Elder law: 40%
Elder Law is simply estate planning for those persons who are age 55-60 or above, or for those persons who are afflicted with a disability or other illness or condition. Put another way, generally Elder Law is estate planning for older adults who do not have taxable estates. Elder Law client is an older client whose chief concern is disability and long-term care planning, not estate tax avoidance.
