I started the Delaware Elder Law Center to provide legal services to seniors and their adult children to help them navigate life’s challenges as they grow older. Managing the care of a parent or disabled loved one is stressful. Reaching out for help from an attorney magnifies this stress. It is not fun. We understand this. This is about you, not us. Our process is designed to provide a positive experience for your family in trying times. We view working with you as developing an enduring relationship, not as a temporary transaction. We will be here whenever you need us.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Anne, our son Chardy, his wife, Brit, our grand-daughter Parker Rose and our son Read. I always try to stay active by playing paddle ball, tennis and going to the gym. Anne and I also love spending time with our two dogs, Augusta (Gussie) and Millicent (Millie), who are our “helpers” in the office.

I have been with the DELC team since 2012 and I am a Certified Medicaid Paralegal.
I love assisting individuals and families through the difficult and very complicated process of Long-Term Care Medicaid applications. Asset protection and the vigorous process of long-term care Medicaid are my forte.
I attended Wesley College for my BS in elementary education and attended Widener Law School’s Paralegal certificate program. At Delaware Technical College I received my Associates in Hotel/Restaurant Management and Marketing. Additionally, I am a Dale Carnegie leadership graduate and I formerly held a Life/Health Insurance license and Series 6, 63 and 65 as a Recruiter and Financial Planner.
In my free time, I am at the beach or traveling with my son Jacksyn.
I joined the DELC team in April of 2018 as the Office Administrator and Bookkeeper. I am a Certified ProAdvisor for Intuit Quickbooks.
While in Georgia, I attended Gordon College in Barnesville, GA, part of the University of Georgia (Go Bulldogs), where I majored in Business with a minor in Art. My background is diverse, having been the owner/operator of a dairy distribution company in my hometown of Thomaston, GA. After moving to Maryland in 1994, I became interested in learning the business side of a law firm. l now have over 28 years of experience in the legal field.
Outside of my professional life, I am happily married to Rob Harvey and we have eight grandchildren: Xander, Spencer, Ellie, Jack, Winter, Willa, Graham, and JJ. Additionally, we are proud of our fur family, our rescue dogs, Kolby and Jasper.
In my free time, I enjoy gardening, the beach, my pool, and spending time with family and friends.
I joined the DELC team in July 2020 as the Marketing and Scheduling Coordinator, and soon started learning everything I could about estate planning and administration. In addition to the training and education Wade provides, I study at Widener University’s Delaware Law School. My goal is to provide families with the same service I would want my wonderful parents to receive, and I take great pride in the estate planning documents our office creates.
In my free time, I am a hobby artist working with clay and paint. I also volunteer in the community and serve as a board member for several fantastic organizations in Delaware.
I joined the DELC team in March 2022 and bring years of personal experience in the elder care world after caring for my own parents with my sister. My background is in Japanese language, sales & marketing, with an interest in technology.
I have recently relocated to Delaware from Hawaii and look forward to new adventures. My daughter now lives in Atlanta and we talk weekly (which, sadly, is something I didn’t do with my parents). I love to walk, swim, kayak, canoe and generally spend time outdoors. I look forward to supporting this wonderful group, and helping people get through difficult times with the compassion and support that is needed.
As the newest member of DELC (joined July 2023) my background has been working with patients in the medical field. I love everything DELC does and plan to learn all of the ins and outs of both Long-Term Care Medicaid as well as Estate Planning to be able to contribute in any way possible.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband JP, and 2 Shiba Inus, Loki and Luna. I am also learning to crochet this year and work with my crochet group to make blankets and other items to donate to local senior centers.
Augusta (“Gussie”), a mix of Cairn Terrier and Shih Tzu, was rescued from a no kill shelter in Pennsylvania. Millicent (“Millie”), a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, is the baby and has learned the ropes from Gussie. They come to work on most days to meet and greet guests and clients. When the door bell rings, they get excited and can’t wait to meet the people coming in the door.
Gussie seems to sense when someone is under stress or upset. She hops right up on the couch to comfort them and to get a belly rub! Millie is just happy go lucky, loves everyone and wants them to love her back ♥♥
