Quote: “If someone had told me that Medicaid, VA and Special Needs planning would be challenging, uplifting and invigorating, I would have told them they were crazy. But this practice is all that and more. The work truly is intriguing and exciting! Imagine that you’re a surgeon, and every time you open someone up, all the organs are in a different place and serve different functions. That’s what Elder Law is like. Every single case is different; every family has different needs; and every veteran has a different story. I never really intended to have a career as an elder lawyer. But once I got into it, I realized how rewarding it is. It’s a daily challenge, and I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to help those who need it most.”
