Top Elder Law Lawyers Near Me in Overland Park Area

When not practicing law, I enjoy non-legal reading and writing, and of course spending time with my family--being outdoors, playing games, visiting national parks, singing and serving others (including on a couple non-profit boards).  My wife, Beth, is a Physical Therapist working in both geriatrics and pediatrics, but her primary occupation is home educator.  We are active in our church and enjoy bible study.  We have a loyal, somewhat obedient Irish Goldendoodle named Sherlock, several cats, lots of chickens and a guineafowl that showed up on our little farm and never left.

Lynn’s practice areas include elder law, estate planning and special needs, as well as litigation in these fields.  Most recently, she was the winner of the 2012 Kansas City Estate Planning Symposia Prize in Taxation for her paper entitled History Lessons from a So-Called “Death Tax”: Making the Case for the Federal Estate Tax.  She was the Articles and Symposia Editor for the UMKC Law Review for whom she also authored Family Broils and Private Terror: A Gender-Neutral, Psychologically-Based Approach to Domestic Violence and Asylum Law. She is a member of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys, the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association, and the Missouri Bar Subcommittee on Digital Assets.. With her legal expertise, a Master’s degree in Counseling from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she is well equipped to assist people of all ages and life situations in her areas of practice.

I initially became interested in the field of Elder Law when my grandmother entered a nursing home while I was in law school. By living through the emotional and financial turmoil that every family experiences when a loved one goes through this stage of life, I learned first hand how a passionate, caring attorney can be a tremendous help. Through my practice of law, I strive to help families every day and uphold the dignity of my elder clients.
