The Why Behind DuBois Law Group
DuBois Law Group, PLLC was founded with a strong sense of intention to re-think the way legal services, especially elder law, are provided. Yes, we are professionals that deal with money. But our highest and best goal is to ensure that the people, the families, are assisted through these situations in a respectful, attentive manner. The solutions must prioritize the people, and ensure that they are served and cared for properly–and in a way that doesn’t force them to spend down their hard-earned savings, or equity in their home.
