In this episode, host Andrew Samalin sits down with Colleen Bratkovich, partner at Zachariah Brown in Pennsylvania, whose practice focuses on Medicaid planning, veterans' benefits, and estate planning. Colleen shares her unique journey from working in hospital systems to becoming a leading elder law attorney—and how that path shaped her dedication to helping families preserve their life savings and navigate long-term care with dignity.

You’ll hear an unforgettable story of Colleen spending Christmas Eve negotiating a nursing home placement for a long-time volunteer, ensuring her client could enter the facility she loved. It’s a powerful example of the compassion and persistence that defines elder law at its best.
