Attorney Patricia “Patty” Crotwell is a nimble legal professional with 23 years of litigation, commercial, employment, and compliance experience in corporate and private practice environments. She has done a little of everything, including running her own small retail business – life experiences that help her form connections with her clients at Elder Care Law of Tennessee. In June 2019, she joined the team part-time as an Elder Law Attorney. At ECLTN, she practices Estate Planning, drafts Medicaid and Social Security appeal briefs, manages Probate matters, and works with the leadership team to develop new service lines for the firm. Her versatility, tenacity, technical skill, and broad background of experiences and knowledge are tremendous assets to the firm and its clients.

Patty is a skilled self-starter who educates herself quickly, asks the right questions, and works efficiently to get results for her clients. She communicates clearly with various people and solves problems effectively in multiple situations. Patty works from her home in Colorado but is easily accessible to ECLTN clients by phone, email, and video conference. For matters that require in-person interactions, like court appearances, Patty collaborates with the other attorneys on the ECLTN team.
