In an elder law practice, ethical issues can occur at any point during the representation, seemingly suddenly appearing, and in some instances taking the attorney by complete surprise. An informed overview of the most common issues facing an attorney in elder law practice, Ethics in the Practice of Elder Law raises the questions and identify the issues that may occur in an elder law practice that will, hopefully, help the elder law attorney be mindful of the potential for ethical problems and provide an analysis for the elder law attorney to use when working through the ethical issues.

Authors Roberta K. Flowers and Rebecca C. Morgan offer a range of hypothetical situations, along with a series opening questions for each situation, followed by a detailed discussion with suggestions for analyzing and responding to the issue.
