- Does an elderly family member need specialist legal advice?
- Where can you be sure that the advice they receive is good advice?
- Can you be certain that the service they receive is of a high standard in relation to the advice they seek?
There is one organisation which can help to fulfil your expectations and you can be assured that the advice you need is specifically aimed at the families and carers of elderly and vulnerable people.
The organisation is called SOLICITORS FOR THE ELDERLY (SFE).
Which can be found at www.solicitorsfortheelderly.com
SFE is an independent national organisation of solicitors barristers and legal executives who have registered as members of SFE.
All members must fulfil the membership criteria by primarily working with elderly clients in specialist areas such as
