About the Presenter

Derek Graham
Derek Graham is a principal at Resch, Root, Philips, and Graham, LLC, a law firm in Ohio specializing in special needs law. Derek enjoys helping people avoid and fix problems that arise in their lives. He was fortunate to get experience in civil litigation, business transactions, and estate planning early in his career. Then in 2009, he and his wife had their first daughter, who was born with Down syndrome. Like many of his clients today, they were inundated with information and felt overwhelmed. Nine years later, he spends most of his days helping similarly situated families understand the various resources for families like his. He finds it very rewarding to meet with families of all varieties and help them understand how to effectively and practically plan their estate. More than that, though, he enjoys assisting families in understanding the available resources and how to get the most out of them.
