I am delighted to announce the formation of a ground-breaking organization: The Academy of Special Needs Planners.
Harry Margolis (Managing Partner of Margolis & Associates, a Boston law firm, and founder of Elder Law Answers ), Vincent Russo (Managing Shareholder of Vincent J. Russo & Assocates, a New York law firm, and past-President of The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys ) and I have joined forces to create The Academy of Special Needs Planners ("ASNP"). ASNP is a national member organization of attorneys who are dedicated to improving the lives of people with special needs by helping them and their families plan for the future.
The Academy's website connects families with attorneys who are experts in providing legal guidance and services that enhance the lives of their loved ones with special needs. Our new organiation offers information, education, networking and assistance to our member attorneys, to other professionals concerned with special needs planning, and to families of people with special needs.
As my co-Founder, Vince Russo, says, "Clients need attorneys who combine compassion with skilled estate planning and knowledge of the public benefits programs on which many individuals with special needs must rely."
