About
I am dual certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation, and as a Specialist in Elder Law by the Ohio State Bar Association. I am one of twenty-seven attorneys with this dual certification. I devote my practice to those issues uniquely affecting the elderly, the disabled and their families. Having been raised by a parent with early onset Parkinson's Disease, and having witnessed a grandparent spend over sixteen years in a nursing facility suffering from Alzheimer's, I gravitated early in my career towards the practice of elder and disability law. I established my Law Firm after leaving the Ohio Appellate Court with the goal of assisting those in need navigate the maze of planning options to obtain optimal care while maximizing available resources. My Firm is now comprised of three attorneys who collectively have over fifty years experience working exclusively in the fields of elder law and estate planning. Each attorney and staff member brings his or her own experience and talents to the practice. All of the attorneys in the Firm are accredited by the VA to prepare, present and prosecute claims for veteran’s benefits. I was the contributing Editor to the Elder Law Handbook published by the Ohio State Bar Association, both the 4th and 5th editions, having authored the Chapter on Medicaid. I am a member of the Life Care Planning Law Firms Association, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the Ohio Chapter of NAELA, the Ohio State Bar Association (Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law Section), the Mahoning County and Summit County Bar Associations. I am an Executive Committee and Section Council member of the Elder and Disability Section of the OSBA and a former Board Member of the Ohio Chapter of NAELA. I also serve as a Stakeholder Liaison with the Ohio Department of Medicaid. I have been named as a Super Lawyer, and a Best Lawyer in America for 2021 through 2025.
