Bryn Poland, Esq., President-Elect
Bryn Poland, Esq., is a partner with Mayo & Poland, PLLC, Baytown, Texas. She focuses her practice on special needs trusts and administration, qualified settlement funds and estate planning.
She was inspired to become an elder law attorney when she watched her family struggle with care options for her great grandmother, Lulu Sleeper, who lived to the age of 109. “I became involved with special needs law when I joined my current firm in 2007, and I love it! I get to work a lot with kids, and I find it personally fulfilling to help families prepare for the future.”
Bryn is especially interested in services designed for children with autism and is a new board member of the Bay Area Rehabilitation Center, which offers therapies for kids and young adults. “I’m hoping to become very involved in developing new programs, attending family meetings and helping them make decisions.” She has worked with the Arc of Texas on several “Wings for All” events, designed to acquaint individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities with airline travel.
She is licensed to practice law in Texas and Kansas, and is a member of the Texas Bar Association, Kansas Bar Association, National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and the Society of Settlement Planners.
She received a B.S. in journalism from Kansas State University and a J.D. from Washburn University School of Law.
