Firm Summary

Cartersville, Georgia attorney Sharon McCoy focuses her practice on families in need of estate planning and elder law services. She is committed to personal, compassionate service to every client. Sharon’s experience has shown her that planning ahead — or, when necessary, responding to a loved one’s medical or financial crisis — with the help of a qualified professional provides peace of mind for elders and their loved ones, protects hard-earned assets, and reduces conflict among family members.

In addition to her law degree from Georgia State University College of Law, Sharon holds a Professional Certificate in Gerontology and has completed extensive specialized education in elder law and Medicaid planning issues. She is also a member of ElderCounsel and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.

In addition to her work in elder law and estate planning, Sharon has an extensive background in civil litigation, having handled cases in the State and Superior Courts in numerous counties in Georgia, as well as before the Court of Appeals of Georgia, the Supreme Court of Georgia, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and the United States Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
