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.

Legacy Law Group truly provides exceptional customer service. Rory's knowledge and professionalism immediately put our family at ease with our complicated guardianship/conservator case. It is very clear he understands the law inside and out. His team is excellent, especially Odalis who I have had the pleasure of working with regularly. She is quick to respond and if there is something she doesn't know, she is following up to find the answer. This team has made a stressful situation feel manageable. We appreciate all of their hard work!

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.
