Jason Waddell

Jason Waddell is a Board Certified Elder Law Attorney. He is a graduate of The University of Georgia & Cumberland School of Law at Samford University. While at Cumberland, Jason focused his studies on Estate Planning and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Following graduation Jason moved to Pensacola with his fiancée Amy Kicklighter. Jason is extremely passionate about his chosen field of practice. While not a factor in his decision to develop an Elder Law practice over a decade ago, his families’ struggles with illnesses such as Alzheimer’s over the past few years have intensified his desire to stay on top of his practice. Jason collaborates with several non-profit organizations along the Gulf Coast supporting his clients, such as, Covenant Alzheimer’s Services, Council on Aging, and Area Agency on Aging. Jason has emerged as a leader within the field of Elder Law. Aside from being one of only 99 Board Certified Florida Elder Law attorneys out of the 83,539 Florida Attorneys, Jason has written for The Advocate (Florida Bar Elder Law Section publication). In 2015, he was nominated to become the Section’s Treasurer as a part of the leadership track for the Elder Law Executive Council. Jason’s passion for seniors together with his unique humor have made him a sought after speaker within the field of Elder law. He has been selected to present for the past four years at the Florida Bar Elder Law Annual Update Course for advanced practitioners. Additionally he has spoken before the National Academy of Elder Law attorneys in Washington D.C. and countless churches and organizations along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Jason and his wife, Amy, live in Pensacola, FL where they are raising their son. Jason is a Cub Scout Den Leader for his son. When not with his family, Jason loves to talk college football, go fishing, and “capture pictures of the beautiful place he calls home.”
