The mission of Elville and Associates’ Client Care Program (“planning that works”) is to provide our clients with the comfort and assurance that their estate and elder law plans will work no matter how their goals situations may change, and to ensure planning remains consistent with changes in the laws. Elville and Associates is one of two firms in Maryland to have a Client Care Program (CCP) accredited by the Client Care Academy in Boston.
