Description

A Lawyer's Guide to Working with Special Needs Clients Richard Augustus Courtney ISBN 9781641054683

Individuals with disabilities, along with their families and caregivers, encounter a wide range of challenges in their daily lives. They often need assistance navigating complex bureaucratic systems and creating plans that address long-term care and financial security. With numerous voices competing for their attention—including financial advisors and attorneys—it can be difficult for these individuals to identify professionals who are truly equipped to address their specific needs. For this reason, attorneys who wish to practice special needs planning must develop thoughtful strategies to effectively connect with and serve these clients.

A special needs planning attorney is not required to be an expert in every type of disability, but must be a skilled legal professional. Nevertheless, gaining a general understanding of the disabilities their clients identify can help attorneys better prepare for meaningful and productive client engagements.

This book explores the full spectrum of special needs planning, from understanding the unique needs of clients with disabilities and navigating public benefits, to building and sustaining a successful special needs law practice.
