For a good part of his adult life, Jeffery  Stinson has had a passion for helping those with an immediate, critical need for long-term care and those who recognize the importance of legal planning for the security of individuals and their families.  He knows that there are too many people caught off guard when unfortunate circumstances occur and there is not adequate legal protection for loved ones and their assets.

Helping care for his own family members along with his many years of experience have reinforced his care and compassion for those who get caught in such a situation.  This is why Jeff has dedicated his law practice to elder law and special needs law.  He also takes pride in the careful preparation of a detailed and unique plan so that when certain episodes in life necessitate change, families can have peace of mind that their instructions will be followed by those they rely on the most.
