Scott Solkoff is President of Elder Law College and a Florida Bar Board Certified Elder Law Attorney. He is a Past-Chair of The Florida Bar’s Elder Law Section, Past-President of the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys and has also served as a Board Member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Florida State Guardianship Association. Scott is a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and the co-author, with his father, of a 1000-page two-volume set, Florida Elder Law Practice Guide, for Thomson Reuters. Scott started Elder Law College as a tribute to his father, Jerome Ira Solkoff, one of the pioneers of the field and Scott’s mentor (and many other lawyers) in Elder Law. Elder Law College provides attorneys with a guided path into the field of Elder Law through its three and a half day “360 Elder Law Practice Builder Program,” a robust Member Portal with hundreds of hours and video and audio for Elder Law training and solution-spotting, regular meetings and seminars and a private listserv. With members from thirty-six states, state chapters have also formed and the organization itself has a state resources section on its Member Portal. In both his practice and for Elder Law College, Scott’s guiding business principle, instilled by his father, is to do well by doing good and he sees Elder Law as an ideal vehicle for doing so.
