Our questions were answered and helped us understand what was needed and not needed in regards to probate proceedings. Emily was very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. It was great to still have legal offices that are willing to do a free consultation.
Response from the owner:Hi Gail, Thank you for your kind words. We’re so glad Emily was able to answer your questions and help make the probate process easier to understand. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are pleased the free consultation was helpful.
Legacy was very helpful in explaining Medicaid policies and explaining how I can keep my assets. I look forward to working with them . A little pricey but i think it will be worth it. Thank you Elizabeth

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!

Excellent
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
My mother and I reached out to Legacy Elder Law Center for legal services related to Medicaid and estate planning for my father. After our initial consultation with Eliz, we knew that we would be in good hands. Odalis was especially wonderful to work with. She was very knowledgeable and always responsive to our questions. We can't thank her enough for all of her work. We're still working with the firm for some additional guardianship and conservatorship issues, and the entire team has been great to work with.
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.
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.
