Peck Ritchey from Coast to Coast

• We are proud to be participating in the Alzheimer's Association Dementia Conference in Delaware, on behalf of the American Bar Association. This conference for professionals focuses on dementia education and networking. Managing Partner Kerry Peck and Diana Law of Law ElderLaw will be co-presenting the topic "Navigating the Legal Realm of Alzheimer's." 

• Kerry is really racking up his frequent flyer miles!  From Delaware he's jetting off to sunny Newport, California for the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) Annual Summit.  The NAELA Summit offers advanced learning under the guidance of top experts in Elder and Special Needs Law. In between sunbathing and surfing, Kerry will be speaking to hundreds of attorneys from around the country about representing fiduciaries who have been accused of wrongdoing.
