Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, Shannon Pawley, shines a light on unpaid family caregivers and encourages those who benefit from their services to find ways to acknowledge them and assist them in special ways during the month of November.

DECATUR, GA, November 10, 2021: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “November is National Family Caregivers Month,” in which Ms. Pawley provides updated statistics and calls for special recognition for these unpaid heroes and heroines.

As Pawley notes, “Traditionally, the month of November is associated with Thanksgiving, the holiday in which we give thanks for all of the goodness we experience in life.” She continues adding, “If anyone is experiencing the services provided by a family caregiver, that caregiver really does belong at the top of the list of things for which to be grateful. I, for one,” she writes, “am happy and it makes perfect sense to me that November is also the month in which we acknowledge and show our deep appreciation for family caregivers.”

Pawley shares, “In the most recent report updated in 2020, the number of unpaid family caregivers in the U.S. has increased by 9.5 million from 2015 to 2021. That brings the total number of family caregivers to 53 million.” She elaborates further, “According to the report, family caregivers now encompass more than one in five Americans. It also reveals a sad truth: Family caregivers are in worse health today compared to five years ago.”

In our firm, WE BELIEVE that people should not have to lose everything they’ve worked a lifetime to earn and that every person is an individual who deserves respect and the highest quality of life possible, regardless of age or ability. We also believe that privacy and protection are the keys to personal peace. Born and raised in the Tidewater area of Virginia to a tightknit family with strong military service roots, Shannon learned from an early age the value of hard work and the importance of social awareness to ensure you always leave a situation in a better place than how you entered it. In her junior year of high school, Shannon served as U.S. House of Representatives Page during the 101st United States Congressional Session in Washington, D.C. This experience exposed her to numerous new cultures and worldly issues. Walking away from her experience as a U.S. House of Representative Page, Shannon knew that she wanted to pursue legal studies and be able to assist others in obtaining the best results available in difficult situations.

Shannon earned her undergraduate degree at North Carolina Wesleyan College and pursued a law degree from Michigan State University College of Law. After obtaining her law degree and becoming a licensed attorney in Michigan, she continued her educational pursuit by acquiring a LL.M. (Master of Law) in Taxation from Wayne State University. After moving to Georgia in 2018, Shannon obtained her Georgia law license and has enjoyed being able to pursue her desire of ensuring persons are able to age with dignity, grace and independence.
