Legal Legacies and Four-Legged Friends: A Conversation with Susan Hunter

The Red Wagon Estate Planning & Elder Law Show

Jeff welcomes retired attorney and businessperson Susan Hunter. Before developing a state-of-the-art indoor dog park and boarding-grooming-training facility in Nevada, Susan ran a successful elder law firm in Indiana. Back then, Susan and Jeff took time from their practices to co-teach a systematized approach of practice to elder law, estate planning, and asset protection attorneys. Through their work as Lawyers with Purpose® members, Susan and Jeff significantly contributed to what is now a nationwide network of highly skilled and effective estate and elder law attorneys.
