About Dady:
I came to law school late in life after a career in sales and marketing
for two fortune 100 companies. For approximately 5 years I worked with
National Organization for Women in Los Angeles, first as a volunteer
and then later as President of the local chapter. This work got me
involved with attorneys in litigation and legislation related to women
and children's rights. I decided to go to law school to continue
working in the legislative arena in California. A ballot initiative
(limiting terms and reducing legislative staff severely) in California
changed all that and I came to Portland looking for other opportunities.
I became an elder law attorney after viewing a videotape on elder law.
I remember thinking 'what nice people.' I am now one of those nice
people and help the elderly with things like wills, trusts, health
care, and capacity concerns. In my first full year as an attorney, I
was awarded the coveted (I'm not sure that it is really) Multnomah Bar
Association award for volunteerism on behalf of the elderly when I (not
knowing better) took on a case to get an elderly man's house back from
his daughter. About 200 pro bono hours later, I got a plaque and a
dinner (that I had to pay for myself); I also did get the house back.
I am overly involved in community and professional activities related
to the elderly including, as President of the Hollywood Senior Center,
a volunteer and fund raiser for the local Alzheimer's Association,
active Member of the Oregon State Bar's Elder Law Section, a frequent
speaker on elder law topics, a mentor to just about any one who needs
one, and a volunteer with the
Senior Law Project (which provides free legal services to the elderly
in
Multnomah County). And that I think is enough.
