Message from the President
Thank you for visiting the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys (AFELA). We are pleased to serve as a resource for both families seeking trusted legal guidance as well as attorneys dedicated to the practice of elder law.
Families often face difficult and emotional decisions involving long-term care, incapacity planning, public benefits, asset protection, and end-of-life matters. These issues can be legally complex and financially significant. AFELA’s members concentrate their practices in elder law and bring both skill and compassion to helping clients plan ahead and respond to life’s later-stage challenges.
If you are searching for qualified legal counsel, we encourage you to explore our online Member Directory. Through the “Find a Member Attorney” feature, you can locate experienced elder law attorneys across Florida who focus specifically on these nuanced areas of practice. While AFELA as an organization does not offer legal advice, our members are available to provide the individualized guidance you may need.
For attorneys, AFELA represents a collaborative and forward-thinking professional community. Membership offers opportunities for advanced education, peer-to-peer support, mentorship, and the exchange of practical knowledge that strengthens both individual practices and the field as a whole. Our organization is committed to promoting high standards, professionalism, and continued growth in elder law.
We invite you to browse the website, learn more about our mission, and connect with the resources available to you. Whether you are planning for the future or expanding your professional involvement in elder law, AFELA is here to support that journey.
Warm regards,
Kole J. Long
President
Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys
