In 1984, Tim Nay was offered an exciting opportunity when he was asked to join the Family Support Project of the Neurological Sciences Center at Good Samaritan Hospital. The Center had recently received a grant from Fred Meyer Corporation, and one of its goals was to develop the concept of Elder Law in the Northwest and beyond.

As a result, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) was formed. Tim was a founding member and its first president.

Tim continued his quest to assist seniors with their legal issues, and today, Nay & Friedenberg is one of the most highly regarded firms in the field of Elder Law in the United States.

As we worked with elders, it soon became clear that decisions made earlier in life profoundly affect the way things played out over the years. We have gradually expanded our areas of expertise, so that today Nay & Friedenberg is prepared to help people at all stages of life and in all kinds of relationships plan for their futures.

The difference is personalized service. For example, many attorneys offer living trusts as a planning option, but not many law offices go as far as to actually handle the transfer of assets into the trust. Transfers are a critical and essential component of setting up a living trust. Nay & Friedenberg has a full time staff member specifically trained to transfer assets in a timely and efficient manner. The overall process time is kept to a minimum, and you avoid the complications of relying on numerous financial entities to correctly transfer your assets to your trust. We go the extra mile when setting up a living trust for our clients.

Because of our personalized service and willingness to go the extra mile, our clients feel like part of our family. We are now seeing the children and grandchildren of those families we saw back in the early 80’s. Because of our longevity in Elder Law, we have a distinct advantage of knowing the family history of many of our clients.

We were there at the advent of Elder Law and we remain focused on this area of specialty today. Our goal is to serve you, your children and grandchildren in the generations to come. Planning for your family tree.
