Judith L. Bomster
“Attorney Judith Bomster is skilled in all matters of elder law and has done presentations here at Taylor Retirement Community helping seniors know the important considerations when selecting a continuing care retirement community (CCRC). Her knowledge and expertise is essential, yet what also stands out is her practical approach and what I see is a true desire to help others with not only information but compassion. I’ve recently learned that several of our residents have used her services or those of her partner when navigating through tricky elder law questions and issues.”
