Mr. Scott integrates the law with life care planning principals to best serve the needs of the aging client. Mr. Scott has written numerous articles on the subject of elder law and is frequently requested as an expert commentator for the media including newspapers, radio, and television. He is a frequent speaker before groups of lawyers, accountants, health care professionals, social workers and the general public. The practice of elder law provides him with the opportunity to assist a segment of our population to avoid the financial ruin that can result from an extended stay in a nursing home. By helping a family in need, at a time when all seems lost, affords him the kind of personal and professional rewards few professions can match.
