Huntington, NY - Attorney Brian Andrew Tully, Esq. has announced that he has joined the Academy of Special Needs Planners.
Among the many challenges facing parents of special-needs children is planning for the time when the parents will no longer be around to act as the primary caregivers. The Academy of Special Needs Planners assists attorneys in providing the highest quality service and advice to individuals with special needs and their families. The academy provides attorneys with the most up-to-date information on related legal developments and a forum to exchange best practices.
