“I’m honored to step into this role with our state’s premier elder law organization,” said Wilson. “Now more than ever, we need to protect seniors, and elder law attorneys are well positioned to do just that. Practicing elder law attorneys understand and have experience with the legal complexities surrounding Medicaid applications and strategies of long-term care planning. Attorneys are obligated to take continuing education which ensures we are keeping up with the latest cases and laws and at the same time are bound by professional conduct rules that ensure we act in the client’s best interest.”
