Paula Kahn Almgren

For the past ten years, Almgren Law Group has guided my sisters and me through the maze of laws, regulations, and rules that affected the care of our elderly parents, and ultimately the disposition of their estate. Without Paula and her compassionate staff, we would have been lost, and likely would h...ave unnecessarily forfeited much of the property and savings our parents worked so hard to secure. But this is just part of the story . . . Almgren Law Group provided so much more than legal and financial advice; when our father was hospitalized, the R.N. affiliated with Almgren Law advocated with the hospital staff on our behalf. Paula and her team knew whom to call, when to seek help, and from what resource—invaluable information that was always a phone call away. Our parents’ last years were enhanced through Paula and her team. When they passed on, there was always a phone call, a card, a comment on the obituary about their lives having been so well lived. We highly recommend Algren Law Group. They are an invaluable resource, and our family is ever grateful.

Navigating elders through their senior years can be difficult but hiring Almgren Law has been the singular best decision that my family has made. Paula Kahn Almgren knew exactly where my parents self-planning went awry and steered us onto a clear path. She moved into action from the start by settin...g up my parents estate to allow our elderly parents to stay in their own house during their remaining days. My brothers, my sister and I are extremely grateful for Almgren Law.

Algren Law came highly recommended by word of mouth, from several respected sources including close friends. Over the course of several years Almgren Law provided personalized, professional and highly competent estate planning and life care planning legal services that was so beneficial to our elder ...loved ones and the entire family. From the very start Paula presented sound, respectful and understandable estate planning options that made our elder loved ones comfortable with this very sensitive this aspect of life. It was the start of a very assuring and beneficial relationship that spanned several years. Over that time, Paula and her staff provided an array of legal considerations, recommendations and services from Healthcare Proxy, Power of Attorney and financial planning considerations and document preparation at early stages, to home care assistance and assisted living options and maximizing VA benefits as the aging process progressed, and eventually to compassionate end of life planning options. It’s hard to overstate the value of the expert legal services, compassionately and understandably presented, that allowed for our family’s informed consideration and decision making. I highly recommend Paula Almgren and her team at Almgren Law. In fact, I am now a client going through estate planning for myself!

My mother had a fall and suffered a spinal cord injury. She was in a local nursing home, was paralyzed and needed significant care. Before we met with Paula we had no idea where to begin and we were stressed out, overwhelmed and we all felt helpless. We didn’t think we had any choices beyond nu...rsing home for my mother. My parents did not want to be apart and they were both very sad. Even though my mother needed total care, Teri the registered nurse from Almgren Law, met with the nursing home staff and began to put together a safe plan for my mother’s discharge home. Paula put together an estate plan for my parents and applied for community based MassHealth for my mother which helped with the significant cost of her care. My parents were so happy to be together at home and they both cherished their time together. From her wheelchair my mother was even able to critique the way we decorated the Christmas tree! My mother recently passed away but the precious time we had at home together as a family would not have been possible without the support and extensive knowledge of the entire staff at Almgren Law. Their assistance was truly Priceless!

When Mom could no longer live independently, my sister and I met with Paula and were immediately struck with her attention to detail. She was well versed in the steps needed to assist us in locating a community that would be comfortable for my mother. Paula provided the best legal and financial adv...ice, as she constructed a plan that was flexible and met my mother’s individual needs. Paula and her team worked quickly to streamline the application process and obtained a benefit that provided financial assistance. The peace of mind it gave my mother was priceless. Paula and her knowledgeable team are presently applying for a VA benefit that will keep my mother independent in her assisted living apartment. Paula, Teri, Dawn and the team at Almgren Law have done a great job for my Mom!! She is enjoying her independence and a social life with new friends. We are grateful for Paula’s assistance in helping us to keep our mother safe and happy. Let Paula take the worry away from finding a place for your Mom.
