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 mother passed and ger affairs were in order. However, my siblings and I have little experience with probate and estates. The staff at the Legacy Elder Law Center were excellent. Responsive, immediate appointment, superb job breaking down the process, which turned out to be easy for us. The main thing was it took time. Special thanks to Rachael Watkins who stayed on top of things, explained everything thoroughly, and gently but persistently nudged the executor, ME, to get everything done. Thanks so much Legacy Elder Law Center!
Jolly good advice on many key fronts Rather expensive but so worth it in the big picture❤️
Liz was amazing and full of knowledge about medicaid!! The entire experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
