About Mark W. Worthington
Mark W. Worthington brings nearly three decades of experience in special needs law, elder law, and estate planning. After serving as a full-time Professor and Director of the Graduate Program in Elder Law and Estate Planning at Western New England University School of Law, he returned to full-time private practice as a partner at Special Needs Law Group of Massachusetts, PC ("SNLG"). He continues to contribute as an Adjunct Professor in the LLM program at Western New England.
At SNLG, the focus is on "Special Needs Advocacy and Planning," a niche not often recognized by platforms like SuperLawyers. Approximately 75% of SNLG's clients are families with special needs, dealing with disabilities from birth or early adulthood. These families come from diverse financial backgrounds, underscoring that disabilities affect everyone.
The remaining SNLG caseload involves complex elder law issues. Many clients with special needs also face elder law challenges and have significant estate planning requirements.
Together with Attorney Annette M. Hines, Mark has personal experience navigating these legal areas, drawing from their life raising children with significant health challenges.
