Emily B. Kile, Esq.

Emily is an attorney and a partner at Mushkatel, Gobbato & Kile, PLLC with offices in Sun City and Scottsdale, Arizona. She concentrates her practice in the areas of special needs planning, estate planning, guardianship and conservatorship, ALTCS (Medicaid) planning, probate and trust administration. Emily has been practicing law since 1993.

Emily’s interest in special needs planning and law is rooted in her personal experience. Having a niece with Down Syndrome has given her a view into the lives of people with special needs and their families. In particular, her close relationship with her brother and sister-in-law has given her direct insight into the responsibilities of parents and caregivers of those with special needs.

As a member of the Board of Directors, “I want to do my part in making sure that the SNA remains the premier source of information for families and the community on special needs issues, creates a place for colleagues to grow, learn, and support each other, and expand our reach to young lawyers searching for a career in special needs work. Through my work, I hope to inspire more younger practitioners to get interested in this area of law.”

Emily is licensed to practice law in Arizona. She earned her B.A. in Psychology and Women Studies from the University of Colorado, Boulder, a master’s degree in Psychology from Boston College, and her J.D. from the Northeastern School of Law in Boston, Massachusetts.
