At the law offices of Elisabeth A. Barker, Attorney at Law, we look forward to assisting you in matters affecting your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather or other elderly family member. Contact the law firm to schedule a consultation.
We are equally as comfortable and experienced working directly with older people as we are working with their adult children or other family members. We understand what people experience during times of family challenges and adversity as related to care for the elderly or intergenerational matters. We utilize this understanding to assist us with our clients' varied, and sometimes emotionally charged, elder law situations. Our clients often express gratitude for the compassionate understanding we demonstrate as they explain their personal and legal challenges.
Attorney Barker's background in home healthcare for the elderly has yielded practical solutions about an older adult's needs. She knows how a lawyer can truly help a family sort out options and provide that their elderly relative live in comfort and with dignity in the least restrictive setting possible. Call or e-mail the law firm to discuss your particular elder law concerns.
