Nolo representatives Catherine Berryessa and Greg Roden
headed from Berkeley to Orlando,
Florida for the 2010 National Association of Elder Law Attorneys
(NAELA) annual meeting - "Planning for Change." There were more than two
hundred member attorneys who focus on elder and special needs law
attending general sessions, CLE's, networking mixers and more
throughout the week. Nolo was very well received and we gave out more
than 150 elder law related books to attorneys interested in becoming
Nolo members.
Most of these attorneys were focused on estate planning, conservatorships, special needs trusts and general "end of life" planning. Many NAELA members we spoke with shared how the field is growing past just wills, trust and estate issues to encompass inter-disciplinary areas of law including family law, tax planning, social security, and medicare / medicaid issues.
Attorneys who know Nolo were pleasantly surprised to see us in attendance, and were very interested in learning more about how they can partner with us. We gave out a lot of books that were a hit with attorneys, including Long-Term Care, Special Needs Trust, and the 15th Edition Social Security, Medicare & Government Pensions.
We look forward to attending the fall NAELA conference in San Diego in November and thank all of the attorneys here in Florida for the warm welcome to our first-ever NAELA annual meeting!
