Elder Law of East Tennessee and most importantly, Attorney Bailey Schiermeyer, had been a valuable resource for my husband and I in the past and again, most recently, with the unexpected passing of my husband. All our end of life decisions/Power of Attorney/Trusts were expertly handled in their office with a very attentive caring staff. All steps in the process were explained in detail. Recently Ms Schiermeyer helped me again after my husband's death. She was very helpful and compassionate and was able to give me peace of mind during the process. Highly recommend this firm AND Ms. Schiermeyer.

After consultation we hired Elder Law for legal service, estate planning and public benefits planning. We were in direr need because of health. As it turned out health has improved. So far after 4 months we have received legal and estate planning such as Last Wills and Testaments, Living Wills, etc. So far have been very satisfied with service and particularly our Life Care Planning Attorney.

At our first consultation with Amelia, my brother and I knew we had found the team to guide us in caring for our parents. Through the following years of in home care of our mother with Alzheimer’s, through our father’s care after her death, Amelia and her group were everything that we needed. They are truly dedicated to giving families the support and expertise they need. I wish I could give them 10 stars, but they have my gratitude for life.

I don't like to leave bad reviews our family had a good experience at our consultation but what's happened since or should I say what hasn't happened since, I have nothing good to say about. Our consult was Oct 30, they asked for the $400 consultation fee first thing, which we expected and gladly paid. We had our meeting and were told that a package with the attorney's recommendations would be sent to us for our family's review. After a couple of weeks and no papers I called to inquire, Nov 14 to be exact and was told by the lady who answered the phone that she didn't have anything to be mailed out to us then was transferred to the voicemail of the attorney's assistant. I left a detailed voicemail with my number & asked for a call back with an update and time we could expect the papers. As I type this, Dec 3 we have still yet to receive the papers let alone a returned call from the voicemail I left the assistant on Nov 14. I am extremely disappointed and upset with this company, the neglect and total disregard to follow through with what we were told is unacceptable yet they had no problem taking my 85 year old mothers $400. We are in the very same position as we were when we came to them for the help with my mothers estate planning etc... Now we will have to seek another attorney to help with that and no doubt be out another X amount of money for another consultation. I hope no one else has the experience we have had with this company.

To not give them the a full 5 star kudos would be a great disservice to this wonderful group of people. I walked into their doors about 2 weeks after I admitted my father to the emergency room. I went in there with my head hung low and my heart in despair. After the first 30 minutes of being shown our options on the white board, I was sold! With every curve ball thrown during our experience with dad's life care, they have been there with option upon option to keep his progress on track. They are compassionate, caring and approachable. I am able to get a response within 30 minutes at all hours of the day and night. If you have a parent or senior in need life care guidance, these are your folks! Thank you everyone!

We we have been Special Needs Trust (SNT) clients of Amelia G. Crotwell in Knoxville, TN, since 2011. She established the SNT for my adult sister with MS, and our association has been helpful beyond description. Patient, proactive, and thorough. Amelia has guided our awareness that SNTs are complex and subject to modification over time. She is alert to changes in laws and procedures and keep us us up to speed via annual meetings and general availability to address our concerns through the year. Her gifted social worker, Jill Shoffner, connected my sister with an ideal caregiver, identified helpful community services and transportation sources, and made regular visits to my sister's home to keep Amelia abreast of progress with ongoing health and safety initiatives. We are well-informed about the benefits of an SNT, outfitted with all of the documents necessary to maintian one, and comforted by Amelia's competent, caring approach to serving her clients.

They are helpful
