Rhona Collins

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.

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rhona, for your kind words about Elizabeth. We’re glad she was able to provide the care, knowledge, and thoughtfulness you needed during this process. We understand that the costs involved in protecting wealth and settling an estate can feel significant, though they can vary widely depending on each family’s unique circumstances and desired outcomes. We appreciate your reminder about the importance of planning ahead, and our goal is always to help families prepare and make informed decisions so they can safeguard what matters most.

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.

It means the world to us to know that we were able to bring you some peace of mind. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can assist you in the future—we’re always here for you.

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.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt recommendation! We're thrilled to hear that Odalis was able to guide you through the Medicaid application process with care, compassion, and expertise. Your trust means everything to us, and we're so glad we could help ease your worries during such an important time. We'll be sure to share your appreciation with Odalis! Thank you again for choosing Legacy Elder Law Center!

Amanda Lewis

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.

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're so glad to hear that your consultation with Emily brought you clarity and peace of mind during what can be a stressful time—especially when handling matters from out of state. We’re proud to have Emily on our team and will be here for you if you ever need support in the future. Wishing you continued peace and confidence moving forward!

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.

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.

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.

Tricia Devlin

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!
