A calm office in a stressful moment
Families rarely land in an elder law office on a good day. Someone has just been admitted to a nursing home. A parent's health has shifted. Or someone has passed away and the paperwork feels impossible. Paul's practice is built around meeting people in those moments without adding to the pressure.
Being both an attorney and a CPA changes the conversation. Tax consequences, cash flow, and long-term care costs are considered alongside the legal documents, not treated as somebody else's problem down the road.
