You can also check the state and county bar associations for attorneys in the estate planning and eventual care fields. Visit their web sites to get more information, how long they've been in practice, etc. Make a list of issues and potential questions, and raise them before making an appointment.
You should also inquire how long a potential attorney has been in practice, with which organizations they're affiliated, whether or not the firm holds seminars for clients, how many other attorneys in the firm practice in the same or related practice areas. This gives you an idea how diversified the firm is, something that could be important since consultations don't always remain strictly in the EP documentation and planning discussion areas.
You will have to check for attorneys in your area. Check online. Call offices for specialties. The Forum is just lay folks giving other lay folks advice from having given care to elders, sharing experience. Good luck.
This is not a site to find an attorney. Google "Certified elder law attorneys" then search by your location. Make sure the attorney you select is certified.
