I had a family member pass away and I was really distraught I really had no clue what to do and I worked with Emily and she really made the process seamless and she helped me and my family navigate how to go about the probate court. I was honestly clueless and having this firm for support really helped the process move smoothly. Moving forward I highly recommend this firm specifically Emily. Thank you so much. She made the process not so overwhelming

During a very difficult time in our lives losing our father, and everything surrounding the way it all happened, Emily was truly incredible. She went far beyond anything we could have hoped for, showing real compassion, strength, and unwavering support. She restored my faith in attorneys and helped carry my family through a time we will never forget. I’m forever grateful for her. Emily is truly one of a kind, a shining star in a dark tunnel. This team is lucky to have such a gem!

I’m not going to get into details here. I’ll just leave you with one thing. Would I ever go back and use this firm for other family matters? No, I would not. I didn’t have the confidence in them. That said, trust your gut.
Response from the owner:Hi B, We’re unable to identify any record of you in our system based on the name provided, which makes it difficult to determine whether you actually interacted with our firm. There is also a similarly named firm in the area, so it’s possible this review may be intended for another firm. If you did work with us, we’re open to discussing your concerns directly—please contact the office so we can verify and address them.

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.
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.
Steve Bingham was a huge help in assisting my family with selling my mother’s house after her passing. I am out of state and the house needed some work. We used his guidance to sell the house quickly and for more money than expected.
