What is the trickiest aspect of elder law? Assisting families and seniors who are losing their physical and mental abilities, while helping them to maintain their dignity and giving them and their families peace of mind
You received your law degree in France before securing an LL.M. in the U.S. What is the most noticeable difference about U.S. elder law? Elder law does not exist in France, and estate planning options are very limited.
