Elder Attorneys and Mediators: A Good Alliance

LinkedIn has a group called Friends of Elder Law Attorneys, and there's an interesting thread discussing if/whether attorneys and mediators can work together.

Brent Rosenbaum of Ventura County, California writes, "As an Elder Mediator, I feel that working with Elder Law, Estate Planning & Probate attorneys would make for a great alliance. Breaking through the impasse and not draining the entire estate would reflect their effectiveness in the eyes of their clients by their strategic utilization of mediators."

I like how Brent thinks, but of course he's an Elder Mediator (as are we). Anything we can do to work mutually with elder law attorneys would be a plus for our clients who are too often caught up in tension and conflict of family disagreements.
