Friendly place they know the law for the elderly

Amelia and her team have instrumental in helping me with Special Needs trust planning for my daughter. She went above and beyond, with many phone calls, staying on the phone with me during conversations with insurance, government and agencies to help me. We went through a lengthy and complex appeal process for medicaire benefits. She is very compassionate,patient, attentive and an excellent communicator. Did I mention she also is a fine lawyer? I highly recommend her team. A true jewell.

I honestly don't even know where to begin! I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders that I've carried around for 3 years! As regular folks, we have NO idea the complexity of senior estate planning, benefits or assistance (if needed). We hired Elder Law of East TN less than three months ago and now my 84-year-old mother, who has dementia, is living somewhere safe and beautiful with wonderful staff and round-the-clock care! I could have never figured this all out on my own. Julia, Jill and Hailey are my heros!! If you have an aging parent that's going to need assistance and you don't know where to turn... PLEASE get in touch with these fine people. They WANT to help, they know HOW to help... they WILL help! Peace and love to you all!

We are so grateful for Julia and Elder Law of E TN! Before going there, we had so many different people giving us such a variety of advice with all the confusion that went along with it. At our meeting, Julia was thorough, compassionate, and clear. Her knowledge and easy style helped ease much of my mom's stress as we discussed finances and dad's medical needs.

We are fortunate to have found Elderlaw of East Tennessee. My in-laws had a complicated situation with an auto accident, needing extended care and providing for a special needs child. Elderlaw has helped us not only navigate the complicated legal and financial matters, but since they have a full team to address all the care needs, we are able to make sure everyone is getting the care they need as well.

Excellent group of sensitive and dedicated people. I got quick responses to all my queries and was guided through a hard situation with caring and understanding.

If you ever need an estate attorney I would highly recommend this law firm.Mrs Baily Schiermeyer is such a easy person to talk to and a very caring and under standing person about your situations. They all make you feel at ease.

I was very skeptical when we first were briefed and oriented on ELET services and costs. The price for twelve months of estate planning seemed quite exorbitant and I questioned the value to my elderly parents, given their advanced age and limited assets. After an extensive family discussion there was mutual concurrence to proceed with ELET's program. The team of social, legal and financial resources went to work and within 6 months the revenue of our parents was increased to the point that 2/3 of the initial investment was returned to their savings account. Additionally, new legal documents were provided, which were much more comprehensive than previous documents my parents had prepared several years earlier. Various deeds had to be quit-claimed to help protect the asset, which ELET performed completely. Jill, the social worker, has made numerous trips to the house to help our parents with various social services, which has provided a much improved standard of living. The increased revenue has allowed for professional care-givers to be hired to help with daily chores such as vacuuming, meals, laundry, showers, and errands. This is a very comprehensive approach to estate protection, while allowing accommodation of individual family circumstances to maximize resources. I highly recommend ELETs team approach to estate planning.

We received help for legal documents and for our own documents. It was very "standard" service. Our lawyer met with us wearing stretch tights and a shirt. We paid a good amount of money and unfortunately my father passed away a few weeks later. We informed our lawyer and we did not get as much as a condolence note. Very disappointed.
