During law school, Mr. Chayet's grandmother, Letty Milstein, was the principle party in one of the most controversial and public elder law cases in the state of Colorado. The Estate of Milstein v. Ayers, 955 P.2d 78 (Colo. App. 1998), is a landmark probate case which upholds and protects the right to counsel and due process of incapacitated adults in Colorado and has been codified into the Colorado Uniform Protective Proceedings Act (the guardianship and conservatorship laws). This experience was the impetus for Mr. Chayet's career long practice commitment to the field of elder law and probate litigation. Mr. Chayet is the past Chairman of the Elder Law Section of the Colorado Bar Association and the recipient of Colorado Super Lawyers 2011 Rising Star in Elder Law. Mr. Chayet's expertise in the area of elder law has also been demonstrated through his publishing in the areas of elder law as well as many public speaking appearances throughout Colorado.Mr. Chayet is an active member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and a member of the Colorado Bar Association where fellow Colorado attorneys nominated Mr. Chayet to be a Fellow of the Colorado Bar Foundation. Mr. Chayet, born and raised in Denver, Colorado, is continuing in the footsteps of his family in assisting the philanthropic and civic community of Colorado, by serving on the board of many not-for-profit organizations including the Total Long Term Care Foundation, Guardianship Alliance of Colorado, Colorado Citizens for Accountability, Allied Jewish Apartments, Jewish Senior Recreation Network, the Foundation For Hope and the Life Source Services Hospice.

An excellent student, Roni was recruited by Ice Miller in Indianapolis where she began working in qualified retirement plans and stock-incentive plans. But she craved working more closely with the stakeholder, so she transitioned to business, tax and estate planning services and joined Barnes & Thornburg. After gaining significant experience with the "big-box" firms, Roni set out on her solo practice in 2003. Soon thereafter, federal and state law changes meant fewer and fewer Americans were concerned with death taxes. Instead, for the past 15 years or so, income-tax concerns have become increasingly more impactful to both business owners and estate planning clients. So after two decades of law practice, Roni pursued a master's of tax law degree from the University of Denver. Collectively, her law practice and advance study sharpened her understanding of business deductions, retirement-income and capital gain tax efficiencies. In addition, Roni also took a few years' detour as a Senior Wealth Strategist in the investment and wealth industry. That experience added yet another dimension to her work and gives her a comfort level discussing financial topics that many attorneys simply do not feel comfortable addressing. She is a true collaborator with a client's full financial team of advisors. Fun fact: Roni has an eye for wildlife photography. But perhaps her most unique hobby was singing the National Anthem for college and professional teams when she lived in Indy, such as: NBA Indiana Pacers, WNBA Indiana Fever, Indiana University men's and women's Basketball, Butler University men's Basketball, Indianapolis Indians baseball, NFL Indianapolis Colts and . . .
