Edwards Group Estate Planning & Elder Law Firm Welcomes New Medicaid Specialist and Attorney

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Jan. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Edwards Group LLC: Estate Planning & Elder Law is excited to announce, and welcome, Melissa Coulter (http://edwardsgroupllc.com/about/our-team/melissa-coulter) and Chris Flynn (http://edwardsgroupllc.com/about/our-team/chris-flynn) to the firm.

Ms. Coulter will serve as the new Benefits Coordinator, assisting Senior Asset Coordinator, Laura Peffley, with Medicaid applications as a part of a larger planning strategy for end of life care. Due to the skyrocketing costs of long-term care, and the extended lifespan of many Americans, a new niche in elder law, called Life Care Planning (http://edwardsgroupllc.com/asset-protection/6-stages-of-life-care-planning), has recently developed. Edwards Group is on the forefront of these revolutionary strategies in Central Illinois. Because of this, the firm has experienced exponential growth over the last 5 years.

Mr. Flynn will primarily work on elder law and Medicaid planning cases. He previously was an attorney with the state government, giving counsel to the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, the Capital Development Board, and working with the Chief Procurement Office.
