Local attorneys Todd Whatley, CELA, and Lauren Adcock of Generations Legal Group invite you to join them for a cup of coffee and an open conversation about aging, planning, and caring for loved ones

These informal gatherings are a chance to ask questions, share experiences, and learn about topics that matter to families—like preparing important documents, understanding long-term care options, and ensuring your wishes are known. Todd and Lauren believe that good planning starts with good information, and that sometimes the best place to start is simply with a friendly chat over coffee.
