SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Julian Gray Associates – B ringing C ertified e lder l aw a ttorneys to P eters t ownshiP F or over 25 years, Julian Gray and his team have been providing legal advice necessary to help people in the fields of elder law, estate planning and special needs planning. This year, the practice has just opened another office in Peters Township to make it even easier for clients to seek out the legal help they need, whether it’s in a moment of immediate crisis or in planning for the future. “We’re a unique law firm focusing on disability and estate planning for young and old clients alike,” said Julian Gray, owner and longtime Peters Township resident. “My youngest client is 2 years old. My oldest one is 101 and we represent everyone in between. People seek us out because we only concentrate in these practice areas and have nine certified elder law attorneys; 21 staff members overall.” The Certified Elder Law designation conferred by the National Elder Law Foundation is the only one accredited by the American Bar Association and recognized by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Julian Gray Associates has more Certified Elder Law attorneys on staff than any other legal practice in the country. “It’s more than just a certification to us,” Gray said. “It’s proof of our commitment to experience and education in the field of elder law, disability and special needs planning. This is all we do and we’ve handled thousands of cases.” He explained that there are at least two common situations when clients seek out his services: When adult children of aging parents start transitioning into caregivers for those parents; and after a traumatic event such as when a person experiences a fall or medical event. “Adult children don’t know where to turn for resources and government benefits available to them or if they even qualify. Seniors who had a stroke or a fall have a variety of different issues that need to be addressed if they want to secure their futures,” Gray said. “Healthcare doesn’t get any cheaper as we get older and our needs will always increase with age. It’s easier to plan for these things before the crisis hits, both financially and mentally, for everyone involved.” Julian Gray Associates is so committed to the needs of seniors that it even has two social workers on staff, with over 30 years of combined experience to assist family members in crisis. These highly qualified advocates are equipped to assist seniors and families in times of emotional duress so that their rights remain intact and needs can be addressed until they are in a position to do more comprehensive planning.
