From Youth Advocacy to Elder Law: Carrie Pugh Connects with Community

The Red Wagon Estate Planning & Elder Law Show

Carolyn (Carrie) Pugh brings a breadth of knowledge and a team-oriented attitude to Bellomo & Associates. In addition to her work in elder law and estate planning, she has extensive experience in family law, youth advocacy, and Social Security disability, among other disciplines. She loves people and helping others, but animals figure prominently in her life as well. Carrie studied animal science at Penn State before receiving her degree from Dickinson Law. She is active in her local community and, as you will hear, greatly values the community she has found at Bellomo & Associates.

What You Need to Know

(04:15) Carrie’s first job as an attorney was a clerkship with the Honorable Joseph C. Adams, who encouraged her to take up family law after clerking. Eventually she began representing foster children and youth and served as a mediator and conciliator in custody cases.

(06:33) When Carrie connected with Bellomo & Associates, she realized that elder law and estate planning and her work with children and youth offered similar rewards—helping and educating others.

(08:19) Carrie loves participating in Bellomo’s workshops because afterward the attendees are much more knowledgeable and understand the process.

(09:37) Carrie is a long-time horse lover who competed when she was younger, but now is content trail riding with her dog by her side.

(14:54) Carrie’s family has a place at Moosehead Lake in Maine. It's near the end of the Appalachian Trail and has been the family’s vacation home since 1965.

(19:20) Carrie loves Bellomo & Associate’s atmosphere of caring, teamwork, and supportiveness—everyone is always looking out for each other as well as the clients.

(24:53) Jeff has received tremendous feedback about Carrie from clients. In addition to the workshops, informal events like the annual picnic offer team members and clients key opportunities to strengthen their relationships.
