I am very pleased to give this endorsement for Nancy. Nancy is an excellent lawyer, and she is on my list of attorneys who I make referrals to. For that matter, I would be glad to have a family member of mine use her services as an Elder Law attorney. From the first minute you meet Nancy, you will be impressed at the depth of analysis and understanding that she brings to the legal issues. And just as impressive is her genuine concern and caring for her clients and their familes. Nancy is truly a trustworthy guide for clients and their families who are planning ahead or facing an elder care crisis.
