EVEN INDUSTRY LEADERS NEED HELP
HOW SANDLER TRAINING SUPPORTS SENIOR EDGE LEGAL IN THEIR MISSION
Susan Graham is an industry leader in the field of elder law. She has been a lawyer in our area since 1977 and is an expert on every facet of estate planning. Few attorneys practicing law have as much knowledge, experience, and wisdom as Susan does. When she opens up this discussion of embracing the inevitable, she begins with a creative tactic. “When I’m public speaking, I start off with a paper bag over my head and tell everyone this is their approach to aging and dying,” Susan says. If that doesn’t get your attention, nothing will. Anyone who works in the field of law for 41 years is clearly driven by more than just a sense of duty. Susan is one of the most passionate and dedicated attorneys you’ll ever meet. She decided to focus on estate planning after a decade of practicing civil law. “After 10 years, I began dumping areas I didn’t want. I [focus on] estate planning because it’s constructive and you can help people ahead of time to make life less difficult.” Susan says. Forward thinking and extensive knowledge make Susan indispensable in the field of elder law, but there’s something else that makes her successful: Her skills make a difference to people because they come from a genuine place of caring. FUELED BY A HEART TO SERVE
No one wants to think about death — it’s about as appealing as going into the crawl space to check for standing water. But if you don’t inspect the crawl space, you leave your family and your future vulnerable to all sorts of problems. If you don’t take time to develop a plan for your estate, you might be doing the same thing.
