Lisa Bellet Collins practices law in Yardley, focusing on estate planning, elder law, and probate. Previouly, Lisa worked with the New Jersey Department of Health representing the Department in administrative hearings to decertify nurse aides who abused elderly nursing home residents. Her experience there gave her insight into the complex needs of older persons, and the difficulties often faced by families caring for older family members. It also strengthened Lisa's life-long passion for serving the needs of the elderly and their families, and led her to go to Temple Law School.
