Elder Law Attorney in Newport RI

WE MAKE HOUSE CALLS.

WHY?

BECAUSE WE ARE “SELFISH!”


Elder care-givers and professionals know well that elders need (and deserve) “special treatment.” In our law office we don’t “rush them,” we enunciate clearly, we work at a slower pace. We respect them and don’t talk to them as if they are children. We listen carefully to their questions and comments. We also listen to their children but preserve their dignity when listening to their spokesperson. These practices follow common sense and are not unusual.

While we have handicapped ramps and an elevator at our office, we have decided to make house-calls. Why? Obviously, some elders don’t travel well or don’t travel at all. Despite the loss of time (and billable hours) to us, we will travel anywhere in Rhode Island to meet with clients and their family members. My father pointed out (often) that most of what appears to be “generous” is in fact “selfish.” We agree. We are in business. We want to meet more clients. We want clients to trust us and to accept us as their family advisors. We know that they are most comfortable on their “turf.” A cup of tea at the kitchen table often leads to good feelings on the part of the potential client who has become a “host.” Sometimes “selfish” motivations can work to benefit both client and attorney.
