My husband was recently diagnosed with younger onset alz. He is 60 I am looking for an elder law lawyer in or near Naperville IL to help with financial planning and I believe we have to adjust our power of attorney as well. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

    My favorite specialty attorney search website is AVVO.com.  Lots of good information including ratings.

    SMRP, welcome to the forum. Nobody wants to need this forum, but it's a good one. I don't have a specific recommendation, but being in Naperville, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a CELA. From what I understand, there is a pretty wide variation in prices for the same services. You might want to have an initial meeting with more than one attorney.
