This is an ever-increasing field of practice within our Firm, and we need an individual who is eager to contribute to this expansion over time. Attorneys will be guided and supported by an experienced Elder Law Attorney, with several years of experience, and work alongside a strong team of paralegals and other elder law attorneys.

• Provide an unparalleled client experience so that each customer of the Firm knows they are a priority for you and our team at CFELG. Engage in frequent contact with all clients and work hand-in-hand with our Client Experience team to provide a concierge level of service.
• Help effectively solve legal problems for clients by analyzing the situation, understanding their needs, and creating a strategic plan of action.
