I understand how hard it is for people with medical and financial issues who need help. My own grandmother, who is 94 years old, has helped me to understand the issues that seniors and those with disabilities face.
My passion is to help Seniors, Veterans and the disabled to obtain the benefits that they need and deserve so that they can meet their daily needs and also try to protect the assets for which they have worked hard all their lives. That is why I am here. I will help you each step of the way.
I am also familiar with the problems that families face when a loved one is failing and in need of assistance. I can help you to come up with a plan to meet whatever crisis you may be facing. I am here to help and to listen.
In addition to my J.D. in Law, I also hold a Masters of Law in Elder Law. I am a member of NAELA (the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys), and the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys.
I obtained my Juris Doctorate, cum laude, from Stetson University College of Law.
I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from the University of South Florida, where I graduated summa cum laude. I have completed the qualifications to sit for the CPA exam.
I am accredited to practice before the Board of Veterans' Affairs to assist Veterans and their dependents and survivors with claims submitted to, and denied by, the VA, and I can assist with claims for pension and/or Aid and Attendance.
Prior to practicing law, I worked in the field of real estate, title insurance, and mortgage loan processing.
I am married, and the mother of five children, including a son who is an attorney, a daughter who is an R.N., and a daughter who is an E.R. tech, EMT, and Sergeant and medic in the Army National Guard, as well as being the mother of our two beautiful grandsons. She is married to our wonderful son-in-law who is in Army Special Forces training. Our two youngest sons are attending college, with interests in Marine Biology and Engineering.
My office is conveniently located in the Westshore area of Tampa, just to the East of the Howard Frankland bridge. We have a comfortable office with elevator access, and a convenient parking lot.
I welcome the opportunity to be of service to you. Call my office to schedule an appointment. I will be happy to meet with you and discuss your options.
Sincerely,
Debra L. Dandar, J.D., LL.M.
