About

I'm one of the first women who was hired by any of the law firms in Nashville. I slugged my way through the system as a single mom. I've done all kinds of litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Now I concentrate my practice on elder law issues, including life care planning and partners in planning services that include; estate planning, probate, Medicaid planning, VA planning and benefits, conservatorships, powers of attorney, and living wills. At Elder Law of Nashville, we focus our practice on the legal needs of seniors and those in need of long-term care. Our lawyers and staff study your personal situations, legal and other, to help you get the quality care you deserve at the most affordable cost. Not all attorneys and law firms understand elder law issues. Our firm offers a unique advantage and we hope you will allow us to serve you. Let us help with your legal needs!
