In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin welcomes Samantha McCarthy Jarvis, founding attorney of McCarthy Law. Samantha practices estate planning and elder law across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, where she takes a uniquely relationship-based approach to helping families prepare for the future.

Samantha’s passion for elder law is deeply personal—her grandfather’s battle with multiple sclerosis inspired her to dedicate her career to helping families navigate difficult decisions about health, finances, and long-term care. She combines legal expertise with empathy, ensuring clients receive not only legal solutions but also compassionate support.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How personal family experiences shaped Samantha’s legal career.

• Why she believes estate planning is “never too early and never too late.”

• The difference between traditional estate planning and her firm’s innovative life care planning model.

• How her team of elder care coordinators (often social workers) helps clients age safely at home or transition into the right care community.

• Why families across New England trust McCarthy Law for comprehensive, client-centered elder care solutions.

Estate planning isn’t just about documents—it’s about building a plan that protects health, finances, and family peace of mind.
