How to handle searching for Elder Law Attorneys


When a loved one is falling sick and needs personal services, it's hard to decide to embark on a search for an elder law attorney. What do you do and what do you say to the elderly spouse or parent who may not believe that they need assistance? A-1 Home Care suggests that family members get together to discuss this, and search for a supportive elder law attorney by doing research and asking for references. 

When you have found an appropriate attorney, make an appointment to see him or her. During the initial consultation, you will be asked to give the attorney an overview of the reason you are seeking assistance, so be sure to organize and bring all the information pertinent to your situation. After you have explained your situation, ask: 
  • What will it take to resolve it?
  • Are there any alternate courses of action
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility?
  • How many attorneys are in the office?
  • Who will handle your case?
  • Has that attorney handled matters of this kind in the past?
