Legacy Law Group truly provides exceptional customer service. Rory's knowledge and professionalism immediately put our family at ease with our complicated guardianship/conservator case. It is very clear he understands the law inside and out. His team is excellent, especially Odalis who I have had the pleasure of working with regularly. She is quick to respond and if there is something she doesn't know, she is following up to find the answer. This team has made a stressful situation feel manageable. We appreciate all of their hard work!
Where to start! This law firm is FANTASTIC! As a child of elderly parents in the midst of an alarming legal situation dealing with their care, they were the only firm in town that 1. answered the phone and 2. connected me to someone who could help me right away. The person I worked with was Emily Wanchisn, a wonderful person and paralegal. She helped me interpret the legal documents that were signed by my parents, explained what my responsibilities and limitations were, and did it all with a kindness and compassion you don't find very often in the world these days. I was never once made to feel "crazy" which can happen when emotions are high. I hope someone reads this review and it informs their decision to hire this law firm. They are great and know their stuff!
From the first day, Legacy Elder has been transparent and communicative. Tyler was the gentleman we worked with, and he was compassionate, thorough and professional. I am very pleased with my experience with them.
Excellent session! Emily listened very well and responded with thoughtful questions that helped provide clarity for all.
The Legacy Elder Law Center and Odalis, especially, have been I've been extremely helpful in navigating the complex Medicaid environment for us and for my father. They've always been extremely responsive, detailed, and helpful with their recommendations and options as to what to do next. Much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Jolly good advice on many key frontsRather expensive but so worth it in the big picture❤️
Leeann, from GuideWISE has been a blessing for me with her assistance in helping find and keep an excellent Caregiver. She stays in touch regularly and has always been very professional but still caring. I highly recommend GuideWISE.
I stumbled on Legacy Elder Law at a critical moment in my mom’s health care journey when I believed I had run out of options. The team at this firm quickly engaged and presented options for helping my mom qualify for Medicaid. Specifically, Odalis took the time to meet with me and explain the process in detail, particularly when I was feeling overwhelmed. She treated me and my family’s situation with kindness, respect and professionalism. Unfortunately, my mom passed before we could complete the process, but Odalis and the LELC team took the time to offer sincere condolences for my loss. I strongly encourage families to seek the services of LELC to properly plan for your loved one’s estate planning and long term care needs prior to critically needing a plan.
The phone consultation was clear, thoughtful and addressed all my questions . Thank you to Emily for taking the time to explain all the relevant legal issues for our family.
Legacy Elder Law was very helpful in assisting me and my family in establishing a Special Needs Trust and ensuring Medicaid covered my mother's rehabilitation cost. Rory is extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of Elder law and in particular Medicare & Medicaid.Odalis worked closely with us, assisted us through the whole process, answered all of our questions, and was a strong advocate for us in dealing with the various agencies.
My phone consultation was very informative and very professional
Very good experience working with Steve Bingham. We benefited from Steve's professionalism, experience and smart practical approach. Made for a quick and smooth sale of our property. Thanks Steve!
I contacted this law firm to discuss a probate issue and was initially ignored before following up, at which time I was given the run around for several days. Based on other similar recent reviews, it appears that I am not alone in my experience. My initial online inquiry was ignored. I then sent a follow up inquiry in which the receptionist claimed they called. I then replied indicating that I had not received nor missed any calls. The next day I received a call indicating that they were "at capacity" and could not accept new clients. No problem. I, like others, will take my business elsewhere where it is desired.
My phone consultation with Emily went exceptionally well. Emily was informative, direct, clear and compassionate when speaking to me.She answered my questions, provided clear direction, and treated me with compassion. She also introduced the team, fees, and next steps which gave me confidence that Legacy Elder Law Center could give me a sucessful outcome.
The consultation was very thorough and it is clear Rory Clark had a great deal of experience and knowledge, even if the situation may be time sensitive due to an illness or family emergency
Just had my initial consultation. Was gretat & very thorough. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Our consultation with The Legacy Elder Law Center was very helpful and help us refine and understand our needs. Being able to do it remotely via computer was very convenient
Eli,abeth Clark was kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful. So sad that it costs $27000 to settle an elders estate and keep them safe in their homes. Important to include those costs in your savings.
I had an extraordinarily good experience working with Legacy Elder Law Center. Odalis Aviles handled the Medicaid application process for my brother-in-law. I was so nervous about the whole thing. Odalis walked me through the entire process. She was always calm and encouraging. She taught me patience! She had such a positive influence on me. I would recommend the Legacy Elder Law Center to everyone. You can trust them because they know what they are doing. They care and have your best interest at heart. They are the real deal. Thank you Odalis.
Liz was amazing and full of knowledge about medicaid!! The entire experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!
My experience with Emily during my free 30-minute consultation was very helpful and informative. I reside outside of the state where our estate matters were handled. After speaking with Emily, I felt more comfortable with understanding communication that should be provided to beneficiaries, options on how to proceed with my concerns, and specific language pertaining to the Will. Thank you so much for providing excellent legal information. I can have a good night's sleep and my anxiety around these issues have been greatly reduced after our meeting. Should I need representation in the future, Emily will be my first call.
Liz was very knowledgeable about the services provided by Elder Law Center. She was very patient and explain the process in depth.
Emily was incredibly friendly, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. After our consultation, I felt clear and confident about the next steps to take. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone seeking expert guidance. Thank you!
I'm an attorney from a different state with some clients who need a small, straightforward, administrative probate matter resolved in Loudon County. I'm not licensed in VA to do this for them so I called this firm to inquire if they had availability to take it on and at what fee - literally just trying to get them to name their price and hand them an easy lift. The run around that I got from their gatekeeper/receptionist -coupled with the demand that I provide all of my clients' confidential information (!)- before they would even schedule a consult (earliest available: a week out, for the world's most straightforward question...) was quite frankly astonishing, and quickly made clear that our ideas of acceptable service to our clients do not align. I guess I will just refer my pleasant, responsive, and happily paying clients who just want an uncomplicated matter resolved with as little fuss as possible, somewhere else.
Rory always been good to me he took me on afer my mother passed away and he set me up with a trust account for that i'm i'm greatful
Very professionals and knowledgeable of the process of trust, wills and probates. Once the required information was delivered the process was fast, efficient and a happy outcome. Recommend them for your needs on these matters.
We were very fortunate to have Legacy Elder Law Center assist us with the many issues that arose regarding my brother's death and the sale of his home. The staff is excellent and communicated with us every step of the way and answered our many questions. They are amazing and made a very difficult situation so much easier and manageable. We wish to thank the staff of Legacy Elder Law Center, with special thanks to Steve Bingham and Tyler Sitzlar.
I am highly impressed with the professionalism, urgency, and hard work that Rory, Liz, Chandler & others in this office displayed. I needed the appropriate documents filed to support my father in his estate and end of life planning. The package they offer provided all the documents he needed in a fast and urgent timeline. I was met with hugs and warmth as I worked with them closely to make sure everything was precise and correct.I would highly recommend their services no matter what your age is. Having all of the documents you need through out your life so your loved ones always know your wishes. If you are looking for the best, I highly encourage you work with them. I am blessed to have worked with them & Liz is absolutely amazing!Down to earth but professional to make sure you are always comfortable and understand the process.
Emily listened, she is extremely knowledgeable. She explained things clearly, answered all of my questions and provided me with information that I needed that I didn’t think of.
Call to enquire their legal services. Front desk didn’t get my question. Repeated a couple of times. She told me to call again. I did. She put me to voicemail and then block my number. Totally shocked.
I would not use this law firm. The free consultation I received with Liz was a total waste of my time. She was doing house work while speaking with me on the phone which is unprofessional. She provided no useful information about what the lawyer can do for me. Instead she repeatedly emphasized their "price tag" for their products throughout the consultation.
They were very accommodating and pleasant. Highly recommend.
This consultation was very informative and helpful. I look forward to working with your group! I'll be in touch to set up an appointment.
Legacy Law was incredible and I look forward to working with them in the future!
Very good meeting! Rory handled all the questions my son had and was very patient. We are excited to execute the plan!
Extremely professional and knowledgeable! Listened to my needs and provided very efficient and effective counsel!!!
My consultation with Emily was very pleasant and informative. We look forward to working with her.
Needed some questions about probate answered. Emily was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind with my situation over the phone. (Wow, I didn't even have to drive into town for a free consult) Don't hesitate to use their practice if you need this type of information. I know this is Emily's job, but she made me feel confident to proceed with my actions and if I could I would give her more than five stars for how she spoke and treated me. Excellent experience. Thank you Emily!
Emily Wanchisn has been very helpful. I appreciate her time & directions on how I should proceed with my probate issues. I will follow through & keep her informed on the outcome so she can direct or redirect me accordingly. I am grateful for her legal knowledge. The Legal Elder Law Center is recommended to all requiring this type of assistance.
Emily was very helpful and informative. She took a huge weight off my shoulders.
We greatly appreciate the assistance provided Liz with our elder care challenge. She responded quickly and provided excellent advice. Thank you!
yo! these people are awesome! and Eliz is the best. Talk about being thorough, communicative, and wanting to put you in the best situation based upon where you are and where you are looking to go. I've been recommending them around to all my friends because I know how important this stuff is. And for them to offer the comprehensive help they do and aid to ensure you understand is well worth it!
