Elder Law 32%

Elder law can best be defined as estate planning on steroids! With the population living longer than ever anticipated it is of primary importance to address their lifetime needs. Secondly, our clients typically have an interest in leaving a legacy for their family members rather than having to spend a lifetime of assets for their long term care. A great deal of the work I do in this area is Veterans' Benefit and Medicaid Planning.

Estate Planning 32%

Estate planning is the process of identifying personal and family goals for your specific situation. These objectives are then translated into wills, living revocable trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, family limited partnerships, etc.

A great lawyer

Jonathan Frank is a great lawyer, and even better human being. My family was in a situation whereby they needed some estate planning and asset protection handled in a very time sensitive matter and Jonathan and his staff did an unbelievable job. Further, Jonathan was out of town at a conference and... was able to accomplish everything for the family in a timely manner. Jonathan's knowledge of the laws, and his caring nature make him an excellent attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone that I know in the Charlotte and surrounding areas.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
