EP 17 Long-Term Care Planning :: Rory Clark J.D.

Bobbi & Mike discuss with Rory Clark - managing partner and founder of The Legacy Elder Law Center. – what Elder law is, and how unlike virtually every other field of law, is not focused so much on any one particular subject matter, but on the needs of a particular type of client—seniors and their families.

Rory brings to his practice more than 30 years of elder law, estate planning, asset protection, and special needs planning experience. He not only understands the complex legal issues involved as a professional but also the intense emotional issues as a caregiver. His father, a World War II veteran, suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for 11 years and eventually had to reside in a memory care facility. His mother battled Parkinson’s disease for 14 years. She was able to live independently in her own home for most of that time but did have to move to a nursing home near the end of her life for safety's sake. He also has a son with Asperger’s syndrome and severe anxiety disorder. Helping his family cope with these issues has given him a unique experience that has underscored his empathy and motivation to provide for all of his clients with the compassionate, skilled, and personal attention they deserve. 

Elder law, unlike virtually every other field of law, is not focused so much on any one particular subject matter but on the needs of a particular type of client—seniors and their families. For families in crisis and families in need, we provide principled counseling and responsible advocacy. Proactively, we create estate and asset protection plans that protect seniors and their families as they transition wealth from one generation to the next. Our clients include young families with minor children, families with special needs children of all ages, entrepreneurs with business considerations, established families with asset protection goals, and the elderly. 

Rory is from Northern Virginia native with deep roots in the community and a commitment to public service. Public speaking and helping people through the Legacy Elder Law Center are two ways that he contributes back to the community.
