About Jennifer
Biography
I created the firm Estates and Elders Law PLLC to help elders and their families plan and navigate the legal and social issues that come with aging. I provide estate and care planning and help for those families coping with a loved one's care or loss.
Practicing law is a later-in-life career for me. I attended law school following a 33 year career in telecommunications and application software - most of that in sales. It was a career high sale that yielded the sales commission that would pay for my career change and law school tuition.
And it was my mother's six year journey with Alzheimer's disease that yielded the inspiration to prepare for the opportunity to help others who unfortunately must travel the same path. It was my great privilege to help my mother during her time of need.
I was fortunate to become an elder law attorney to help families like ours during their time of need.
