The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys is a non-profit association that represents lawyers, bar organizations and others who work with older clients and their families. Since its establishment in 1987, NAELA has been a resource for education, information, networking and assistance to those who deal with the specialized issues involved with legal services for seniors and people with special needs.
NAELA membership is comprised of over 4000 attorneys in the private and public sectors who deal with legal issues affecting the elderly and disabled. The laws and regulations affecting health care, social security, Medicare and other public benefits are becoming more complex. Actions taken by older people with regard to a single matter may have unintended legal effects. The mission of NAELA is to establish NAELA members as the premier providers of legal advocacy, guidance and services to enhance the lives of people as they age as well as individuals with special needs.
