You worked hard your whole life to provide for your loved ones. You've been fortunate enough to build an estate--a home, a car, a checking account, a savings account, some investments, retirement funds. You've paid for health insurance, or perhaps now you have changed to Medicare. But as we age, however, all of us face the possibility that we may need long-term care. Things like Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and other diseases can all too easily place us in a situation where our health insurance or Medicare is of no aid. Care for the elderly can be impossibly expensive. It can deplete the assets it took a lifetime to gain in as little a sa few months to a eyar. Everything you worked for can end up in the hands of health care providers--or the government--leaving you little or nothing that you worked to acquire for your own needs, or for your loved ones. This only adds to the devastation that a health crisis may bring.

I am an elder law attorney. I am a member of the Elder Law College. My practice focuses on helping people avoid being pushed into impoverishment simply becauser of age. I work diligently and closely not only with my clients but with their spouses, chilxren, and loved ones. If you wish me to, I will develop a plan for you that will allow you to obtain the long-term care and other things you need without seeing your estate dissipated. Propertly designed and carried out, the plan we develop together will protect your assets, address both your financial and non-financial estate needs now and in the future, take care of daling with the government for your health care, and most of all, give you and your family the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you have a workable plan in place, that your assets will be available for your needs and for your loved ones as you direct, and most of all that you and they are not alone. You have someone who will protect your legal interests, who will guide you when you need guidacne, and who will always be there when you have a question, when you're worried and don't want to share your worries with your famiily, or when you simply need someone to talk with who will always be on your side.

I hope you will contact me if you have any questions, or if you with to prepare a plan to take car of your existing and future needs.
