Tieesha founded the Elderly Care Law Firm of Tieesha N. Taylor, P.A. as a way of addressing a need she saw in the community for affordable, values-based advocacy and legal planning and as a way to develop a legal practice that was consistent with her own values and legal philosophy.
Before founding the Elderly Care Law Firm, Tieesha volunteered for the Florida Long Term Care Ombudsman Council as an advocate for residents in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and adult family care homes. As an Ombudsman, Tieesha met a wonderful elderly woman who's rights were removed through a guardianship proceeding. Tieesha provided advocacy and worked towards getting the woman's rights restored. That experience completely changed her life and from that very moment she knew that her purpose in life was to advocate for the elderly and our most vulnerable citizens.
Since founding the Elderly Care Law Firm, Tieesha has had the opportunity to work with individuals and families in a variety of situations. Although the bulk of her practice is advocacy for the elderly, she has also worked with newlyweds, young families, business owners, blending families, the terminally ill, unmarried couples and lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered families. It is her experience that each family, no matter how traditional or non-traditional, is truly unique and, once you get to know them, have unique needs.
When she is not practicing law, Tieesha volunteers her time providing educational presentations and working for a number of local community groups including the Alliance for Aging and United Way's Older Adult Impact Council. She is an active member of the Florida bar's Elder Law and Real Property, Probate and Trust Law sections. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends and loves spending as much time as possible outdoors.
