Jason A. Penrod Has Been Recognized as One of the Top in His Industry by the Expert Network©
LAKE WALES, Fla., August 15, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Jason A. Penrod, Founder & Board Certified Elder Law Attorney, Family Elder Law, has joined The Expert Network©, an invitation-only service for distinguished professionals. Mr. Penrod has been chosen as a Distinguished Lawyer™ based on peer reviews and ratings, dozens of recognitions, and accomplishments achieved throughout his career.
Mr. Penrod outshines others in his field due to his extensive educational background, career longevity, and numerous awards and recognitions. After completing his bachelor's in Political Science from the Niagara University Honors Program where he received the Sertoma Award for Academic Excellence, he earned his Juris Doctor from Vanderbilt University in 2003. Two years later, he attended a conference on the fundamentals of elder law where he met his future mentor, Scott Solkoff, an elder law attorney and speaker at the conference. Truly inspired by Jerome Solkoff's mantra, "you do well by doing good," Mr. Penrod decided he wanted to devote his career to elder law as well and developed a practice as an attorney with Weaver and McClendon, P.A. He was promoted to partner in 2007.
There is a lot of talk in the new administration of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, which as it stands offers a lot of benefits for the elderly and the disabled. We still don't know what the final version of the new American Health Care Act is going to entail, but it looks like Congress may include cuts to Medicaid, which will severely impact my clients.

With nearly 15 years dedicated to law, Mr. Penrod brings a wealth of knowledge to his industry, and in particular to his area of specialization, elder law. When asked why he decided to pursue a career in law, Mr. Penrod said:
"I had a very competitive nature, and I really liked to debate. I also knew I wanted to do something that would help people, so law seemed to be the logical career choice."
As a thought-leader in his field, Mr. Penrod's efforts toward minimizing the burdens of aging go far beyond his private practice. He is a regular lecturer for Continuing Legal Education and an educational speaker for the National Business Institute and local community groups. In 2009, his article, QIT Success Without Guardianship, was published in the Elder Law Advocate (Vol. XVII, No. 3, pg. 29). The piece provides tips on how to use a health care proxy to petition the court to execute a qualified income trust for a Medicaid applicant without establishing a guardianship.
To better serve and educate his clients, Mr. Penrod keeps his eye on prevailing trends in elder law. In particular, he is paying close attention to the ongoing healthcare debate in Congress and how potential changes are going to affect the elderly. He noted:
"There is a lot of talk in the new administration of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, which as it stands offers a lot of benefits for the elderly and the disabled. We still don't know what the final version of the new American Health Care Act is going to entail, but it looks like Congress may include cuts to Medicaid, which will severely impact my clients."
When Mr. Penrod is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Monica, and their two children, Isabella and Alexander. He is also passionate about supporting his local community and served as Past President of the Lake Wales Area Chamber of Commerce and the Lake Wales Rotary Club, as well as Past Director of the Lake Wales Care Center and the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. He and his wife are active members of Christ Community Church in Winter Haven and believe it to be their duty to faithfully share their abilities and gifts with those in need. Since Family Elder Law has opened its doors, it has donated over $150,000 to senior based charities and events.
