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.

Because I have raised a child with severe special needs and even suffered through the loss of her, my focus is very passionate and fulfilling. This is my life, not my work. I have applied to become a foster parent for medically fragile children who are waiting to be placed. I am a mission driven person and I live my life intentionally. I am very concerned that we are not bringing along enough passionate advocates for this cause, so this year I have started a series of webinars and an in person conference to promote special needs advocacy (practicing beyond the special needs trust) for our membership at MassNAELA in an effort to engage our attorneys in deepening their special needs practice. Although we are a small firm, we do our best to mentor along new attorneys and colleagues in this area of practice. In addition, in the last twelve months we clocked over 200 hours of pro bono work, which is substantial for a small law firm with only 7 employees total.
