GET TO KNOW SNA MEMBER BRIAN CARROLL
When I first started practicing 43 years ago, I handled just about anything under the sun. This included Family Law, some minor criminal matters, real estate, small business matters etc. I eventually narrowed my focus to Elder Law and Estate Planning and Administration. I was drawn to special needs planning as I have friends and clients with children that have special needs. I admired them for being some of the most caring, loving people I know. Assisting them has been a real privilege. Getting to know those who work and volunteer in the special needs community has been a joy.
I assist families who have a loved one with a special needs plan for the future well being and ensure they are cared for.
Attend all the fall and spring meetings, participate on a committee, and make an effort to get to know as many members as possible.
Assisting families on planning for the future. What makes me feel good is to hear a client comment after the first meeting that they feel so much better and that a load has been lifted off their shoulders knowing that there is a path forward.
Playing a morning game of tennis or golf, lunch with my wife and then spending the afternoon at home doing whatever needs to be done and/or watching sports on tv (usually IU football or basketball).
I recommend the podcast “The Rest Is History.” The host are two British authors and historians. I love history and they bring much enthusiasm and humor to the various periods of history. As someone who grew up in the 1960’s, I found episodes 508-510 on 1968 in the US to be extremely interesting.
