The Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (MassNAELA) is a non-profit voluntary association whose members consist of a dedicated group of elder law and special needs attorneys across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MassNAELA was incorporated in 1992, to serve the legal profession and the public with the following mission: Educate, inspire, serve, advocate, and provide community to attorneys with practices in elder and special needs law.
Flexible Schedule
Working in the legal field can allow you to have a great work/life balance. Whether you are working in a small law office or a large firm, the legal profession offers flexible schedules and great office culture.
Job Security
Many Elder and Special Needs Law attorneys advise clients regarding the probate process (legal process when someone dies) and taxes. As Benjamin Franklin said, “The only two certainties in life are death and taxes.”
Rewarding Work
The practice of Elder and Special Needs law focuses on building personal relationships and helping clients obtain benefits that will help them lead better lives. These practice areas also help individuals and families plan for the future, which can make some of life’s most challenging times a little more straightforward.
