~  the website of Attorney Lisa Nachmias Davis

I am an attorney practicing law in New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A., the "Elm City," home of Yale University and some of the best pizza in New England. Since October, 2009, I have had the good fortune to practice law with two other good friends and attorneys, as the firm of "Davis O'Sullivan & Priest LLC."  Most of my work involves helping people with estate planning (wills and trusts), elder law problems (Medicaid and Medicare, living wills, conservatorships -- other than contested proceedings), disability issues (trusts for disabled individuals, entitlements), and probate; and helping nonprofit organizations with general tax and corporate problems, including fundraising through deferred giving.  My partners do this too, and also help with residential real estate transactions; income, estate tax, gift tax, and fiduciary income tax return preparation; and estate and trust administration.  I am the "geek" among us, even if at this point my technique is a little dated, let's face it, prehistoric -- and have been running this site for 25 years, so for better or for worse, my site provides the web-based educational resources of our firm.

   *This page used to begin "Greetings and Salutations!"  The reference was to Charlotte's Web, in which the unforgettable heroine Charlotte, a spider, greets the naive young pig, Wilbur, with the cry, "Salutations!"  Little did I know that old notices from the Draft Board apparently once began, "Greetings and Salutations," much to the distress of a potential client viewing this page.  Thus, "Greetings and Salutations" shall no longer grace the entry to the legal pages of my website!
