Paul Almgren (Berkshire Law Group) is my choice for Estate Planning
Thorough. Very thorough. I needed to update my estate plan after my brother's death. Paula asks the questions needed to get me through the process. She listened to what I wanted and gave advice that would be in my best interest. She was patient in explaining terms, laws and whatever questions I had. ...

Very thankful for the BLG
We hired the BLG when my dad urgently required additional care. Unfortunately my brothers and I were not aware of how dire a situation my parents were in and we needed help quickly. Paula, Dawn, and Deb helped our family navigate a very difficult situation and they were very patient. My brothers and ...

Don’t Bother Going Anywhere Else!
I could no longer ‘not see’ my husband’s dementia after his concussion. What do you do when the person you always counted on to reason things out with you “can’t” anymore? Thankfully, Paula Almgren was recommended to me, and I have been recommending her with utmost confidence ever since! Knowledge...

recommend without reservation
Our experience with Almgren Law was wonderful. We arrived rather inexperienced and anxious and met with Atty Almgren and colleagues who thoughtfully and expertly walked us through myriad needs, concerns and choices regarding late-in-life decisions. The result for us was a profound sense of relief t...

Phenomenal law firm
I have had the Almgren law firm as my relative's elder Attorney for years. This law firm is top notch in every respect; most impressive is the depth of support! The firm has a great staff that is quick to respond. Paula Almgren is a bright, caring responsive Attorney that always has her clients ...
"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."
