Elder Law Firm & Lawyers That Care About West Michigan

Senior citizens in Michigan face a myriad of legal issues as they age – legal issues that are complicated and difficult for them and their family members to understand. Medicare and Medicaid, estate planning concerns, and asset protection issues are but a few of the issues the elderly are expected to sort out for themselves. Rather than being proactive, the complexity of these issues and others is oftentimes more than enough incentive for elderly residents in Grand Rapids to simply ignore these pressing and important legal concerns and hope they do not cause too great a problem for themselves or their family members.

Carrier Law is committed to changing this attitude and, in doing so, changing the lives of as many senior citizens and their family and loved ones as possible. Our experienced Michigan elder law staff are available and ready to answer questions about the unique challenges facing elderly residents in Michigan.

We strive to empower our clients to make decisions that will benefit them and their loved ones.
