Firm changes name to reflect focus on seniors

Attorney Nancy Nawrocki, one of fewer than 100 attorneys in the United States with an Advanced Masters of Laws Degree in Elder Law, has changed the name of her Brighton based firm to  Nawrocki Center for Elder Law, Special Needs & Disability Planning, PLLC.

“Since we opened our firm in 1986,” Nawrocki said, “my first interest has always been to help  senior citizens in legal matters such as estate planning, trusts planning for family members with special needs qualifying for government paid benefits and so on, so we wanted the name of our firm to reflect what we actually do.”

The previous name of the Nawrocki firm was Nawrocki Center for Elder & Family Law.

“According to national statistics, 40 percent of seniors will end up in nursing homes, so it is important for the elderly and their families help plan their finances should they become ill,” Nawrocki said.

Nawrocki, a resident of Hartland, earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in secondary teaching from Oakland University, and obtained her law degree from Wayne State University. She also earned a Masters of Law degree in Elder Law from Stetson University Law School, Gulfport, Florida. In 2005, she was the first woman elected president of the Presbytery of Detroit. She is a member of the State Bar of Michigan.

She is active in Livingston County community organizations such as Meals on Wheels, and she has served on the Boards for the Livingston Women’s Resource Center, and the Advisory Board for the Livingston County Hospice. She is a past trustee for the Cromaine District Library, Hartland, MI.
