A newly introduced piece of federal legislation—referred to as the Big Beautiful Bill—proposes to reallocate over $1 trillion in Medicaid funding over the next decade. While the bill is still under review, the potential impact on seniors, caregivers, and families in East Tennessee could be significant.

I’ve had several new clients come to my office with legal documents they downloaded off the Internet, or legal documents they paid some online service for (Legal Zoom, etc.) that created huge, expensive problems for them, or could have caused problems for them if they hadn’t taken these documents to an attorney for review before they passed away.

The problem with Internet legal advice is that sometimes things that look like perfectly good facts are actually just data picked up and presented either by some artificial intelligence bot or a person who is not licensed to practice law in that state. That information is often, at best, erroneous, and at worst, downright wrong.
