WHAT YOU WILL LEARN AND WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
More and more clients with
disabilities or their family members are coming into attorneys’ offices with
issues made increasingly complex by the existence of disabilities and the need
for community resources. Issues arise in:
· Family Law
· Personal Injury and Litigation
· Elder Law
· Estate Planning
· Trusts and Special Needs Planning
· Administrative Law
· Health Law
· Labor and Employment Law
· Guardianships
· Alternative Dispute Resolution
· General Practice
· YOUR practice!
Without trying to become an expert on individual public benefits and community
resources, by attending this course you will learn:
· when community resources may be helpful to your clients
· how to spot areas where eligibility requirements for current or future
programs are important to consider
· basic descriptions of many community resources that may be available
· where you can get additional information about existing programs and
resources, as well as eligibility requirements
· where to send your clients for more information, applications and meaningful
assistance.
