Kim helped us to have my mom admitted to a nursing home and apply for Medicaid. She made the process as smooth and painless as possible. During what was a very difficult and emotional time, Kim helped us to keep perspective and reassure us along the way.
Liz, It was a pleasure to work with you and your family. Thank you for your positive feedback and, please, always feel free to give me a call.
"Kim and I went to law school together. She's always impressed me with her knowledge and ambition. Kim now uses that knowledge and ambition to run her own practice, focusing on Estate Planning, Probate, and Elder law. I would recommend Kim, without hesitation, to anyone in Massachusetts who is looking for an attorney who has integrity and is willing to put the client's needs first."
