| The Elder Law Firm Profile
The law firm was founded in 1985 near Jackson, Mississippi in the Barnett Reservoir area, which is now incorporated into Flowood, Mississippi. The mission of our firm is total dedication to elder issues, that’s why we named it The Elder Law Firm.
Our practice includes family estate planning and Medicaid asset preservation law. Too many good, hardworking people lose their life’s earnings because of long-term care needs and the lack of planning. We help the elderly retain their dignity while passing along their family estate… no matter how large or small.
We believe that we have been entrusted with a God-given responsibility to help the most vulnerable in our society. This is why we are totally dedicated to Elder Law.
