Elder Law of East Tennessee has been a godsend for our family. Amelia Crotwell and her staff created a Special Needs Trust to accommodate changing circumstances over time. The suite of Trust documents ensures future protection and identifies the responsibilities of the individuals chosen to follow through with requirements. We meet with Amelia and her staff annually to review the Trust itself, address concerns, and ask questions; during the year, we interact with Social Worker Jill Shoffner and are encouraged to contact her when unanticipated situations arise. Amellia and Jill are always approachable and "there for us," and it is comforting to observe that their skills and experience have served us well. We are grateful for our association with them and highly recommend their services.

A little over one year ago I was looking at what I thought was a train wreck getting ready to happen. My sister had multiple health issues, was not managing her medication well, was not willing to get medical attention, was not happy and was not living in a very safe situation in her home. A friend introduced me to Elder Law of East Tennessee and they were engaged to help us develop a Life Plan for my sister. With their help my sister now resides in a lovely assisted living facility, we have assistance with the cost, her medication is under control, she is safe and has a significantly improved social setting ... and is much happier. Looking back I needed a caring, knowledgeable and professional group to help me get to where we are now and Elder Law of East Tennessee was that group!

Amelia and her staff helped us with life planning and organizing our insurance and assets -- they were all unfailingly polite, generous, friendly, and helpful. Everything was explained clearly, the documents were all in order -- and in the one case where they were not, everything was corrected instantly and completely. Planning for the future is never easy, but it's so important, and Amelia and her office made it as simple and stress-free as possible. We are very happy with our experience and would definitely recommend Elderlaw to anyone with legal needs.

After exhibiting minor symptoms of dementia for some time, my 82 year old father fell and broke his hip. After the hip surgery my father’s dementia increased significantly. My 80 year old mother and my sister and I were quickly overwhelmed and we needed help. My parents had a small but significant “nest egg” of life savings.
When we first visited Elder Law of East Tennessee, Amelia and her staff made us feel most welcome. Amelia had already analyzed our situation and she was fully prepared. We sat in a private conference room where Amelia made diagrams on a white board and used layman’s terms to explain all of our options and her recommendations. These methods were exactly what we needed to easily understand what our choices were and exactly how Elder Law of East Tennessee would be able to help us. This was just a preview of the excellence and professionalism that she and her staff have consistently demonstrated from day 1. Incidentally, we have just signed up for our third year with Elder Law of East Tennessee. We could not do all of the things they are doing, nor would we have time, nor would we even know how.
Besides their outstanding estate and benefits planning, Amelia and her staff provide outstanding customer support. They promptly return emails and phone calls and they are proactive about the changing needs and conditions of the dementia patient and the patient’s immediate family. They even make visits to my parents’ home to help with benefits forms and agency questions by telephone and in-person visits. This is a huge help for my parents as they are easily confused and have great difficulty with complicated subjects. Amelia and her staff have earned our trust and our gratitude. They genuinely care about their clients and we have experienced this first hand time and time again.
I have nothing but the highest praise for Amelia and her staff. Elder Law of East Tennessee has been a blessing to us during these challenging times for my parents and my family and we would be so much worse off without their help. A heartfelt “Thank you” to Amelia, Julia, Jill, and Kyra.

Elder Law of East Tennessee has been a blessing to our family. It is hard enough to deal with both parents needing nursing care at the same time, but Elder Law has been nothing short of a miracle for us. We did not know how to maneuver all the elder laws concerning estate and long term care but with their guidance and assistance we now have a plan. I highly recommend their services.

The entire staff, from Principles down, were unbelievably superb. They sincerely care about the "Elderly" and went over and above for my mother.
Bailey was wonderful to work with, she and 2 co-workers even came to my mother's nursing home at the last minute to have final papers signed before she left for out of town! I would highly recommend them as did an elder care attorney in Asheville and two nursing facilities.
