I strongly caution against using this firm for elder law. We paid $10,550 (~50% above competing quotes) for what was marketed as a comprehensive Medicaid estate plan. Instead, we experienced an abdication of core competency, with disclaimers of expertise appearing only after payment was secure—culm...inating in a sworn statement denying any obligation to provide comprehensive planning despite website claims. Persistent evasion of substance blocked attempts to resolve strategy concerns—leaving family assets exposed and forcing us to start over with new counsel. Specific technical and operational failures: • Unusable Drafts & Abandoned Execution: Zero documents were executed, leaving the package unfinished and out-of-state trustee packages unfulfilled. • Substantive Gaps & Tax Blind Spots: Failure to address basic Medicaid protections—including the Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance (MMMNA)—along with misapplied caregiver exemptions and failure to address capital-gains and basis step-up implications. • Arbitration Discrepancies: Claiming to the panel a Zoom meeting and "innumerable" calls occurred, despite no Zoom meetings or substantive calls taking place—and producing deed transfer documents for the first time at the hearing itself despite failing to mention them informally. Unlike standard consumer products, legal services lack basic consumer protections, and a fee dispute ruling does not evaluate the merits of legal advice, strategy, or that substantive work was correct or had any market value. Any response pointing to that ruling is a hollow deflection designed to avoid all substance—mirroring the exact evasion experienced throughout our engagement and proving that their pattern of prioritizing reputation management and ego over client outcomes remains unchanged. Don't let the sales presentation fool you; this was a costly waste of time.

Would not recommend him for any services . He overcharges, over calls, and also has no respect that I was a single mom with an infant . I told him plenty of times I was busy with my son and he still charged me . He was not reasonable and didn’t help me accomplish anything with my custody battle . I... received a letter with the suffolk county district court and I will be going next week with emails and MANY others to show them that I stated many times that when my divorce is finalized he will get his money . I cannot set up a payment plan unless I know how much I’m going to get . Which happens with every divorce . They were only on my case for less then a month and the prices they charged me were OUTRAGEOUS ! I had to ask for copies and paperwork of every single piece of paperwork that they over charged me for, for that short amount of time . I think it was less then 30 days and $10,000. .The prices they charged were insane compared to other lawyers on Long Island . . His short time cost more then My new lawyer and husbands lawyer combined . overcalled, over emailed me beyond my control and then charged me for those times . I will let suffolk county know and I hope they look into his illegal way of running a law firm. Very unfair when it comes to your way of “helping” clients . He showed up late to the police station and Amanda was the LAST one to help the day I needed her . He made her sit there all day when a lawyer should be first and out. Just to earn money . Maybe he needs more clients bc his way of dealing with clients is so horrible . Amanda also got yelled at by the judge for knowing absolutely nothing about the court system infront of the whole court which was embarrassing. The judge also stated she had no business speaking for me and also no business stating what she was asking was NOT Allowed! I was horrified to have her represent me . Run now. Kelly glass and Michelle from massapequa are way better and reasonable!!

Recently my father became very ill and we had to make the difficult decision to put him in a nursing home. If that wasn't hard enough we then had to start the arduous process of applying for Medicaid for him in order for my mom to be able to hang on to her savings, which she needed to stay in her h...ouse & keep up with those expenses. Thankfully, Josh & his dedicated staff, especially Julie, made that possible. He helped my mother, brothers & I understand the process and made sure we had all the legal documentation necessary for the future. He made a difficult time much less stressful and for that my family & I are extremely grateful.
