A Little Bit About Us…

At Elder Law of East Tennessee, we understand that navigating the challenges of aging, illness, and disability requires more than legal expertise—it demands a deep sense of care and commitment. Founded in 2010 by Certified Elder Law Attorney Amelia Crotwell, our firm embodies the principle that elder law services should be delivered with professional skill and personal compassion. Our mission is to provide insightful and practical solutions tailored to your needs.

Alongside Amelia, partners Julia Price and Bailey Schiermeyer continue to advance this mission, ensuring that every family and individual we assist feels supported and valued. Our approach is about more than safeguarding assets and planning for the future; it's about enriching the lives of the people we serve.

  • "When we needed help with our estate planning, ELET didn’t just offer legal advice; they provided a pathway to peace of mind. We felt truly looked after."
