Elder Law

Miss Elizabeth established a trust for my wife and I that addressed all of our concerns of protecting our estate as we move into retirement and these later years of our life. She was very professional and thorough even taking time to walk through the document and patiently answer all of our question...s. I have the utmost confidence in her and highly recommend her to others.

Review for Elizabeth Durnell

She helped me get medicaid for my husband and explained to me how I could use trusts to protect my assets. Everything she said she would do she did. She was very knowledgeable and efficient. She and her team make sure every (i) is doted and every (t) is crossed. She left nothing undone.

Trust Atty

Elizabeth was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us to create our Trusts. She was well informed and was easy to understand. She was very good in explaining our options. We were very disappointed to hear that she would no longer be working with us due to a rearrangement in the office.

Elder Law Review

Liz Durnell is very knowledeable about elder law & has been very helpful to work with setting up my senior mother's estate. She is quick to respond to any questions my family has in a timely manner. She is very professional, respectful of our needs, but also very personable. She & the senior partner...s as well as their staff have been very easy to work with & I would recommend their firm to others.

Elder Law Assistance for My Mother

Ms. Durnell is an excellent elder law attorney along with the remainder of the Cooper, Adel & Associates Firm. Had the pleasure of working with her on two occasions to complete my Mother's Power of Attorney. (The second time we had to redo her POA as we lost the original which we needed for a closi...ng on a house) Elizabeth drove over 70 miles and Janetta drove approximately 100 miles one evening to complete the document required to sell Mom's house. Our sincere thanks goes out to them.

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.
