Does anyone know of a free or reduced price consultation with an elder attorney?

Most counties have Elder Law consults available if you are low income. If you are not low income you will pay a retainer. $500 is pretty average. We paid $2000 retainer to initiate Guardian hearings.

Call your local Agency on Aging and ask them if they know of any Elder Law Attorneys where the first half hour is free or can give a discount. Remember, Elder Law is a specialty, thus the fees are higher.... similar to that of a doctor who specializes.
