Attorney at Law

Ms. Gilsinan is a solo practitioner in St. Louis (Webster Groves) Missouri, where she concentrates her practice in estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, beneficiary designations, real estate) and senior issues such as Medicare, Planning for Medicaid, Nursing Home issues, and Long Term Care Issues.

She is certified as a Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA*) by the National Elder Law Foundation. To gain certification as a CELA, lawyers are required to pass an elaborate screening process that includes a day-long written examination, at least 16 hours per week practicing elder and special needs law and at least 60 elder law matters during the three years preceding the application, peer references from five other elder law attorneys, and continuing legal education. The passage rate on the certification exam in recent years has been under 30%. A recertification is required every five years after certification.
