Norwell Executive Center , Norwell , Massachusetts 02061
Practice Areas: Elder Law
I help elders, the disabled, and their families to unravel all the confusing, conflicting issues they face and bring order into their lives. I determine how to stretch out their financial resources to keep them in their own homes for as long as possible. I put into place the many legal tools that will protect them and their families now and in the future. In addition, I put the families in touch with allied professionals who help sort out non-legal aspects of elder care, such as geriatric care managers, professional organizers, and Alzheimer's coaches. Most importantly, I take many of the burdens and conflicts out of the family dynamics and allow people to again simply enjoy spending time together. You will see below that I attended Vermont Law School - the premier environmental law school in the nation - intent on saving the Massachusetts coastline. One thing led to another, and now I am much happier working with elders, the disabled, and their families, to get their affairs in order and put their minds at ease.
