Julia Greenfield, J.D.

Julia's 25-year legal career has focused on representing  Medicaid applicants and recipients who need long-term care and other disability benefits and services. Prior to starting Greenfield Elder Law, Julia worked for the Law Offices of Nay & Friedenberg, Disability Rights Oregon and Legal Aid Services of Oregon.

Julia finds her work to be particularly compelling in light of her personal experience as a caregiver to a parent with Alzheimer’s disease and a child who experiences a developmental disability. She understands all too well the pressures and challenges facing families in these circumstances, and the peace of mind that comes from legal and financial planning to ensure access to appropriate care.

Julia has deep roots in our community: she was born and raised in 

Portland. She has served as a Governor’s appointee to the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities and the Governor’s Task Force on Traumatic Brain Injury.
