Paula Kahn Almgren is an Invaluable Resource
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...

Highly recommend Paula and her fantastic team!
Paula and her team were the best resource at a very troubling time for us. On January 1st this year, we suddenly lost our beloved Aunt and she had not created a last will and testament.

Very Competent and Caring
I first contacted Paula when I was in need of some legal advice and counseling as my Father was approaching the end of his time. He had named me as his Personal Representative, and when the time came, Paula further assisted and advised me as I carried out the provisions of his will. Needless to sa...
"Paula is my go-to person for the "how to" and "nuts and bolts" of elder care. She is an expert in the many public benefits programs for elders and individuals with special needs. She is a master at weaving together public programs and private resources in order to help elders age in the setting of their choice for longer. Paula's staff is excellent as well. I've called them for help occasionally, and they have been spot-on. Paula and her team are fantastic!"
"Paula is a great resource to elder attorneys like myself in the state. I will often consult with her on various elder law matters. I highly recommend Paula."
"I've known Paula for nearly 20 years as a fellow member of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. She is my go-to person in Berkshire County. Paula is kind, smart and very much cares about her clients. She knows all the local agencies and other resources her clients need. I heartily recommend her."
"Having worked collaboratively with Attorney Almgren on various Elder Law matters, I can attest to her both her empathetic demeanor and substantive knowledge of the law. Additionally, I serve on the Board of Directors with Paula for the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Her advocacy and commitment to the aging population is well known and I am very comfortable referring clients to Attorney Almgren. I endorse her and consider her a valuable resource within the Elder Law community."
"Paula and I are both Board Members of the Massachusetts Chapter of Elder Law Attorneys. She is THE attorney to go to in the Berkshires for issues facing elders. She has helped me with connecting to resources in the area when advising my own family members."
"I have served as a volunteer Board member on the Board of Directors of MassNAELA (an elder law professional association with roughly 500 attorney members in Massachusetts). She has also taught a couple of seminars I have attended. Paula has many years of elder law experience and uses that knowledge to serve her clients incredibly well. She is a tireless advocate for elders and those with special needs. She knows the government system and available benefits programs in and out, and fights to ensure that her clients achieve the best possible results to ensure that they can achieve the highest quality of life in the future. I enjoy discussing challenging legal issues with Paula and I value her input. I heartily recommend and endorse Paula."
