We’ve been through it, too
J. Kevin Tharpe is an elder law attorney dedicated to serving his clients because he knows firsthand what they are going through. Early in his legal career, his family looked to him for help with his grandparents' long-term health care. Establishing airtight long-term care, estate and financial plans for his loved ones provided the satisfaction of helping people who needed assistance and alerted him to the need of experienced, professional, compassionate legal counsel in Northeast Georgia.
Having seen his work ease his family's stress and concern, Kevin was inspired to pursue an exclusive practice in elder law, estate planning and special needs law. Kevin also has first-hand experience with all of the legal and financial issues involved with a family member who has special needs.
In addition to his personal commitment to his law practice, Attorney Tharpe also maintains professional memberships to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and serves as an Accredited Advisor of the Department of U.S. Veteran Affairs.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
