Guardianship Consultant Attorney - OH

The Gilchrist Law Firm is launching a nationwide program in partnership with the Veteran Administration (VA) to provide comprehensive Guardianship Services. Our program supports caregivers of veterans by educating them on the concept and implications of guardianship, assessing whether guardianship is appropriate for their circumstances, preparing and drafting guardianship petitions, and guiding them through the process of initiating and filing these petitions.

We are seeking attorneys with expertise in Guardianship and an active bar license in Ohio to join us as consultants for this initiative. As a consultant attorney, your primary responsibilities will include:

Responsibilities/Duties

Alternatively, we work with law students who can assist in drafting the paperwork, which you will review to ensure compliance with all relevant state-specific legal requirements.
