About Elder Law of East Tennessee
Our Founding Vision: A Firm with Heart and Vision
Elder Law of East Tennessee (ELET) was born from Amelia Crotwell's simple yet profound vision: to create a law firm that goes beyond conventional legal services to enrich the lives of our clients.
When Amelia opened the doors to ELET, she did so with a commitment to providing expert legal advice enveloped in compassion and understanding. She envisioned a place where individuals facing the complexities of elder law and special needs planning could find legal solutions and a supportive community.
Under Amelia's pioneering leadership, the firm flourished, becoming a cornerstone in the East Tennessee community for those seeking guidance in sensitive legal areas. Recognizing the need to expand the firm's reach and depth, Amelia was joined by Julia Price and Bailey Schiermeyer, each bringing their unique expertise and passion for elder law.
With her sharp insight into estate planning and elder care, Julia Price brought a structured yet tender approach to the firm’s services. Her ability to navigate complex legal frameworks while focusing on the human element of law has made her an invaluable asset to the team.
Bailey Schiermeyer’s advocacy for the rights and dignity of the aging and disabled added a new dimension to the firm. Her dedication to ensuring that clients' voices are heard and their rights protected underpins the firm's reputation for passionate legal representation.
