What does an Elder Law Attorney Do?                                          An Elder Law Attorney is aware of the real life problems, health and otherwise, that people experience as they age. They are tied into a system of social workers, psychologists, geriatric care managers, and other elder care professionals who may be of assistance to their clients. Attorneys who work with the elderly bring more to their practice than experience with the legal issues. They have an understanding of the elderly that allows them and their staff to ignore the myths related to aging. At the same time, they recognize and empathize with some of the true physical and mental difficulties that often accompany the aging process. Money worries: We counsel clients who are worried about the cost of assisted living or nursing homes. To avoid spousal impoverishment after one spouseenters a nursing home, we also work with clients on the preservation or transfer of assets. Personal concerns: Our lawyer counsels clients who are worried about whether someone is stealing their money or property. We also work to create solutions for clients who struggle with forgetfulness or have difficulty remembering simple tasks, such as paying their bills.
