Erin's Approach
My goal is to be a valuable resource for you and your family. I want to educate you on the choices you have available for your estate plan. The planning should be affordable. I charge flat fees for my estate plans so that you receive a complete package of all the necessary documents to prepare you for a secure tomorrow. The flat fees also ensure that we spend as much time together as needed to make you feel comfortable. It is important to me that you feel empowered and have a clear understanding of why you need a proper estate plan. I vow to not use complex legalese. I want you to feel like family when you step through my office door. If you are not able to make it to my office, I will travel to you.

About Erin C. Eurenius Esq, CPA
Erin C. Eurenius (Pronounced: Your-Rein-Yus) is delighted to help seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their families. She has always focused her practice in the area of elder law, special needs planning and estate planning. She is a certified specialist as a CELA® by the National Elder Law Foundation. Her passion for elder law stems from her personal experiences with her grandmother, Helen. Erin’s grandmother helped to raise her while living with the family. Around the age of 84, Helen was diagnosed with dementia and a few short years later suffered from a stroke. Erin watched the repercussions of not planning ahead for these devastating occurrences in life. Erin went to doctor’s visits and hospital calls at 3:00 A.M. and visited the nursing home. She saw the guardianship and Medicaid process firsthand. She understands the stress and anxiety that a family can be dealing with during these situations. She will take the time to listen to your concerns and work with you to prepare a plan.
Erin plans to use her personal experience and legal knowledge to understand your situation and benefit you. Her goal while practicing law is to be a helping hand through the process, easing the tensions and fears that our clients and their families may be experiencing. She works in the areas of estate planning, Medicaid, asset protection, Veterans benefits, special needs planning, and probate and trust administration. Erin is understanding and compassionate. She will help you and your family prepare for a secure tomorrow. Email her today at erin@westsideelderlaw.com.
