Top best Elder Lawyers in Birmingham | 19 available

I'm a former speech-language pathologist (SLP) who is passionate about helping the elderly population.  As an SLP, I worked in skilled nursing facilities, and I came to deeply care about the individuals and families who were forced to navigate the complex world of long-term care.  It can be so overwhelming.  I love being able to help make that process a little bit simpler as an attorney.. I also love helping anybody and everybody get a basic estate plan in place.  The relief I see in people's eyes once they've gotten their documents signed, knowing everything will be taken care of if something should happen to them, never gets old!  It's one of those tasks you know you should do but just never quite get around to doing.  We make the process so easy and approachable.. My personal interests include running, triathlons, cooking, and listening to podcasts.
