Certified Elder Law Attorney - National Elder Law Foundation

Robert Fleming is the author of The Elder Law Answer Book, now available from Aspen Publishers. He is a Fellow of both the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. He has been certified as a Specialist in Estate and Trust Law by the State Bar of Arizona's Board of Legal Specialization, and he is also a Certified Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation. Robert is a member of the State Bar of Arizona (he was President of the Young Lawyers Section in 1978, Chair of the Probate and Trust Section in 1992, and chair of the Mental Health and Elder Law Section in 1999), and the Pima County Bar Association (he was President in 1986). Robert is also a member of the Special Needs Alliance, the premier national organization of lawyers working with "special needs" trusts, and the Elder Law Alliance, an elite national group of a dozen lawyers with a common interest in improving the practice of elder law.

While serving as the Pima County, Arizona, Public Fiduciary (the Tucson area's public guardian's office), Robert was one of the litigants in the Arizona Supreme Court case of Rasmussen v. Fleming, which established the right of incompetent patients (through their guardians) to refuse life-sustaining treatment when there is little prospect of recovery. He has also been actively involved in reviewing care at the Arizona State Hospital, and served as the Chair of the City of Tucson's city retirement plan for eight years.

Fleming & Curti, P.L.C. prides itself on use of up-to-date technology in the practice of law. In addition to speaking regularly on the use of Time Mattersâ„¢ case management and HotDocsâ„¢ document assembly software, Robert also manages an independent e-mail listserver for Time Mattersâ„¢ users; interested lawyers and staff members can subscribe online. You may want to check out the TimeMatters list archives. The firm also operates smaller listservers for other software programs used in the office, including Televantage, the telephone communications package in use at Fleming & Curti, PLC.

Robert's primary personal interest is his family (wife Rhonda and their two children Erik and Robyn). The entire family practices Cha Yon Ryu, a combination martial arts discipline incorporating Korean Tae Kwon do, Korean Hapkido, Japanese Karate and Chinese Ch'uanfa. Robert also enjoys antiques (particularly Mission and Arts and Crafts styles), scuba diving and computers.
