I didn't know what to do.

Life is in perpetual flux. Change is the only constant.
With every season of life, there are new challenges
and new questions which need to be answered.

As a law office specializing in Elder Law, we can help
phrase the changes in life into questions and then
provide options for answers.

We were so worried.

A wonderful aspect of Elder Law is the sense of relief
and self-empowerment which a knowledgeable practitioner
can provide to the elderly and those who love them.
Although the age old adage is “knowledge is power,” in
Elder Law, a better and more accurate expression may
be “knowledge is relief.”

There are options to be weighed and choices to make.
We can help you decide which path is best suited for your family.

What a relief. There are options

When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

At the Elder Law Offices of Portia B. Scott, Chartered, we have
many, many tools in our toolbox.

No two families will have the exact same issues, though many
have similarities. Therefore, each family will need different
tools or combinations of tools. When looking in the face of
financial ruin, of skyhigh medical expenses, of a loved one
who does not seem to understand the danger he or she
may be in, you need to know what can be done.

Our favorite statement from a client is one which says,
“I feel so much better knowing what my options are.”

We explain the options.
