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!
Response from the owner: Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us this thoughtful review. We are pleased that Emily was able to put you at some ease during trying times.

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.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful and heartfelt review. We are truly sorry for your loss, and we’re honored that you trusted Legacy Elder Law Center during such a difficult and emotional time.We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Odalis. She — and our entire team — strive to meet families with compassion, clarity, and respect, particularly when circumstances feel overwhelming and time-sensitive. Even when outcomes change in ways no one can control, it’s important to us that families feel supported, informed, and cared for throughout the process.Your message about planning ahead is an important one, and we appreciate you sharing it so openly. If your family ever needs guidance in the future, please know our doors are always open.Thank you again for your trust and for recommending our firm to others.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Cecelia! We’re so glad to hear you found your phone consultation informative and professional. Our goal is always to provide clear guidance and support from the very first conversation. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
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!
Response from the owner: Thank you, John! It was a real pleasure working with you. I’m glad we were able to make the sale process smooth and efficient — that’s always the goal.
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.
Response from the owner: We’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced when reaching out to our office. We always strive to respond promptly and clearly, even when our team is at capacity or unable to take on certain types of matters. It sounds like we fell short of that standard in your case, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.Our goal is to ensure that every inquiry receives a timely and respectful response, whether or not we’re able to provide representation. We’ll be reviewing our internal follow-up process to prevent this from happening again. We wish you the best in finding the right firm to assist with your probate matter.

Eliz was great, very informative, knowledgeable, and helpful to get us started down the path to assist in building us a protection plan for the future.
Lisa Freire
This team has done nothing but work to help me. They have been confidantes, therapists, and obviously legal experts. They have taken a potentially disastrous situation and turned it around in a flash and explained all of my options at each stage of the process. I could not be happier with their work. We're not done yet and there are still some hurdles to jump but without them I really would be up the creek without a paddle.Thank you Leann, Rachael, Eliz, Rory and the rest for your patience, expertise, and kindness. Worth every penny.
Brian Burns

The Legacy Elder Law Center has truly bent over backwards to ensure my needs and financial needs have been met. My husband has Early Onset Alzheimer’s and I felt defeated until I met and worked with this fabulous firm. They truly brought me peace and I will be forever grateful.

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!

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!

It has been my pleasure to know and work with Attorney RoryClark and the staff of The Legacy Elder Law Center for the past six years.

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.
