Connie Taylor is a vital part of Knoxville’s Elder Law of East Tennessee and agrees that she and Amelia Crotwell make a great team.  "I have always loved working with senior adults and their families.  Each Elder Law of East Tennessee client's situation is different.  I am honored that our clients share so much of themselves with me.  They begin to feel like part of my own family.  I love it that Amelia has structured her practice so that everything Elder Law of East Tennessee does starts with the client's care.  It makes my job so rewarding."
