From Special Ops To Elder Law: Meet Anthony Figueroa
Thursday, 23 April, 2026
A calm lawyer can change the outcome of a family’s hardest season, and that’s why we’re excited to introduce Anthony Figueroa, our newest attorney in the Shelby, North Carolina office. Anthony brings an uncommon background to estate planning and elder law: nearly nine years in the US Army, including psychological operations, plus the lived discipline of working high-stakes problems where details matter and emotions can’t run the show.We talk about what pushed him toward law in the first place, including how attorneys influenced real decisions during deployments and why he wanted that same kind of impact back home. That mission-driven approach connects directly to the work many families need most: wills and trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, long-term care planning, and guidance when situations turn complicated. If you’ve ever searched for an estate planning attorney in Shelby NC or wondered where to start with elder law in North Carolina, you’ll hear what steady, practical counsel sounds like.Anthony also shares a refreshingly grounded take on law school. Instead of buying into the fear, he treated it like a nine to five job and focused on time management, consistency, and learning the craft. We close by talking about the temperament required for tough cases, including protecting hard-earned property, supporting veterans and their spouses, and helping families work through conflict without losing sight of the simplest workable solution.If you’re in the area, come meet Anthony at our Shelby office and tell us what you want to protect.
