Locate an Elder Law Attorney
The best place to look for an Elder Law Attorney is to visit the Find an Elder Law Attorney page at the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. You can enter your search criteria by Zip Code, and well as by city and state. Another useful guide is Elderlaw Answers which provides additional information about Elder Law attorneys on that site.
When looking for an Elder Law attorney, be sure to find out whether they handle your type of case on a regular basis (several times each week, at least) or if they primarly practice other types of law. You want to find an attorney who does not do a lot of unrelated types of law practice. For example, lawyers who typically handle traffic tickets and divorce matters are probably not going to be your first choice if you need someone to help you or a loved one with your Durable Power of Attorney or Medicaid application. Be a smart shopper for legal services, and find out whether your lawyer is experienced in helping with your type of situation.
