The famed mathematician Pythagoras famously said, “There is a mysterious harmony in numbers.” How fitting, then, that our elder law practice embarks on our 5th Annual Elder Care Symposium in the same summer we mark the 10th anniversary of the purchase of our office building in Blue Ash. I’d be less than candid if I…
Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. There’s a reason this proverb has survived the centuries-it’s damn good advice. We all buy home and car insurance, hoping to never make a claim. My estate planning documents are chock-full of contingency planning to address worst-case scenarios that may never materialize. And this month, we welcomed…
May is National Elder Law Month, a time dedicated to helping seniors and their families navigate the often-complex world of legal planning.

The ball has dropped, the champagne is flat, and the “New Year, New Me” energy is at its highest ebb. Usually, that means resolutions that require some degree of grit before the habit forms, such as drinking more water or doing that resistance-training workout, may have already been broken. But what if I gave you the…
It’s that time of year. Leaves are falling, the air is cooling, and darkness is encroaching ever closer. But it’s also a time when families come together to celebrate. A time for warmth, laughter, and reconnecting with loved ones near and far. It is also one of the few times we gather with our extended…
