CLARENCE RICHARDSON

As the first executive director of the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (MassNAELA), Richardson leads the organization in serving its members and providing them with the necessary tools and resources to assist families. Influenced by the health struggles in his own family, Richardson is passionate about serving the members of MassNAELA, so that they can assist families like his, and educate the residents of the Commonwealth about the programs and resources available for individuals who are aging, have special needs, or are dealing with other health issues. Prior to MassNAELA, Richardson practiced elder law at the Law Offices of Timothy R. Loff. He currently serves as president of the board of directors for the Waltham Partnership for Youth and on the Disciplinary and Ethics Commission of the national nonprofit Certified Financial Planner governing organization.
