Paula Kahn Almgren

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... and compassion without a doubt! You’re comfortable discussing your most personal fears and confidential information without hesitation knowing you are with someone who has YOUR best interest front and center! Paula and her entire team at Berkshire Law Group are there to answer your calls when you have that panic question. The RN provides advice and a true perspective that helps me advocate my way through the confusing health care system. They walk you through the maze of things that need to be done so you don’t feel overwhelmed. Trusts, Wills, Special Needs Trusts, Pet Trusts – yes, in our home we have a substitute child that will outlive us, and Paula took care of that too! At a time when your life is turned upside down and you can’t think clearly, you need Paula Almgren and her team to help you “see” clearly again.

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 ...best interest in mind! Debra Allen, a registered nurse and certified case manager, is a valuable resource for anyone needing guidance to help advocate for a loved one. This law firm is second to none and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of a solid team-based care program.

I was referred to Paula Almgren by my brother who worked with her on his estate plan. He had nothing but good things to say about Paula and her multidisciplinary team. During my initial meeting with Paula to discuss updating my planning documents and concerns for the future, I was impressed that ...she was a good listener and a creative thinker. It was a great brainstorming session and I left feeling very positive. Through the whole process, Paula and her staff have been very responsive and helpful. Thanks to the team, the entire process has been a very smooth one and now going forward, I feel that I have a great resource in the Almgren firm.

Paula Almgren was highly recommended to our family by a senior staff member at Kimball Farms Lifecare Community in Lenox, MA, when we were looking into assisted living facilities for my mother, who had Alzheimer’s disease. We were bringing my mom from Texas to live near us because she was no longer a...ble to live independently. Paula represented my mother for many years, setting up her estate plan and creating a long-term care plan for her, which involved a Trust and other estate planning documents. Paula also helped my mother apply for Veteran’s Aid & Attendance benefits, an application process that was so complex that I could never have done it without the help of Paula and her staff. My mom had limited financial means, but because of Paula’s expert planning and the financial help from the VA my mother was able to live the remainder of her life at Kimball Farms in their Memory Care Unit, where she was lovingly cared for. Paula cares deeply about her clients, and her staff is wonderful—always thoughtful and responsive! Paula provides professional estate planning and legal advocacy when needed. Her professional knowledge made a great difference for my mother and for our family. Paula and everyone at Almgren Law gave us peace of mind when my mom was afflicted with a devastating illness and was facing an unknown term of costly care. My mother and our family had PEACE during that most difficult time. We are so grateful.

I contacted Paula Almgren when my mother got seriously ill and my father became overwhelmed with her day to day care. I'm so glad I did. Paula took the time to meet with us and fully explain care and estate planning options. For a reasonable flat fee, she helped my parents estate plan, reposition the...ir marital assets and apply for benefits for my mother. Throughout the process, Paula and her team were caring, patient and responsive to any questions we had. My mother now receives support from home health aides. I can't emphasize enough how important this has been for both my parents' quality of life.
