Conservatorship. When you hear that word it may bring to mind recent cases involving celebrities. But there's more to it than that & like anything important to the general population, it's 10 X more important to Caregivers & the people they love & care for. Bruce Kauffer is an Attorney with a crusader's mindset. He is the founder of The Conservatorship Center. Conservatorships are the only area of law that he practices. He's spent decades serving families by cutting through red tape to simplify the process & share with those he serves, that which is often not made clear or withheld altogether.

Lynn Greenberg has focused her life on being a champion for children. As a trained Attorney, Lynn spent her time in the legal world practicing family law, providing pro bono work for kids, and advocating on their behalf.

When her youngest son Jonathan was diagnosed with Dyslexia, becoming his advocate, as well as others, came easy. Understanding how to gather facts and create strategic plans, Lynn developed a road map to success for her son and has since become an active supporter of all neurodivergent children.

Jonathan Greenberg was diagnosed with dyslexia as a young child. He always knew that he learned differently than others, however he did not let it personify who he was. Like most kids, Jonathan had a bookshelf full of books, however since he couldn’t read them at first, he became captivated with the artwork and illustrations on every page. While Jonathan worked hard and overcame his learning differences, his love for art developed into his passion.

Jonathan teamed up with his mother, an advocate for neurodiverse children, to co-author and illustrate a children’s book. He is currently a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
