How Can I Find a Trusted Florida Elder Law Attorney?

There are many ways to find an Elder Law attorney. The Florida Bar lists those attorneys who are Board Certified in Elder Law. This informs the public about which attorneys have passed a comprehensive written examination covering nineteen areas of Elder Law, including peer review. In addition, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) administers the Certification in Elder Law known as a CELA. This national certification also requires a written examination, as well as peer review. A list of all attorneys in Florida who are board certified in Elder Law can be found at Flabar.org. and a list of CELA’s can be found at NAELA.org.

In addition to state and national certification in Elder Law, attorneys who serve in leadership positions, such as Chair of the Elder Law Section of The Florida Bar, or publish articles on various Elder Law subjects indicate their commitment to the practice of Elder Law.
