What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
I became an elder law attorney after caring for my grandfather, who suffered from dementia. I saw firsthand families' and caregivers' challenges in paying for and finding quality care. I also enjoy assisting families with their estate planning needs. As a mother, I understand the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family is protected should anything happen to you.
