Life, Law, & Lattes
Hosted by Attorney Nadia Gilkes, Life, Law, & Lattes is a safe space where we chat about family law topics, caregiving concerns, and elder law issues. Gentle guidance is given, offering families a blueprint to navigate the legal waters of their most pressing (and often emotional) matters.
The information presented here is for educational purposes. It is always best to see an attorney in your city or state to receive advice tailored to your needs and jurisdiction. This podcast does not establish an attorney-client privilege. {Would I really be a lawyer if I didn’t put the legal stuff in there?}
I appreciate every listen and every form of support. Please like, share, and subscribe on whichever platform you listen to podcasts. You can also follow eLegal Cafe, LLC on FB and IG - I don’t post often but like us on social media anyway and when I do post something, you’ll already be there.
I truly hope the conversations and information shared here will help families in their time of need. If there is a question you’d like me to cover on the podcast, or a topic you want to discuss with me privately, please don’t hesitate to email me or put yourself on my calendar. I look forward to hearing from, and helping you.
