Worth the Money

We went to see Attorney Victor several months ago when we had to put my dad in to a nursing home. My mother was afraid that she would lose all of her assets. Attorney Victor explained the process and helped save our house and our money. It was a long process but she and her associates helped us tr...emendously. I was impressed with how quickly she called us back each time.

Highly Recommend

I went to see Attorney Victor after we had to place my mother in a nursing home. I was told by my friends and the nursing home that I would not be able to save any of her mother. I went in to the meeting feeling hopeless. First and foremost, I was impressed with Attorney Victor's compassion. She ...treated me as if I was a person and did not speak down to me. She spent 45 minutes with me discussing how we could protect most of my mother's money. I then hired her to prepare the Masshealth application. I was impressed with how she handled the whole process from beginning to end. I was also grateful that she returned my calls and emails promptly.

Protecting Assets

When my wife had to go into a nursing home, I was convinced that I would need to spend down all of my assets. I went to see Melissa Victor in S. Easton and she prepared an emergency plan that saved all of my assets. She walked my through the process, prepared the application and made sure that we r...ecevied an approval. I called to speak with her many times and was quite pleased that each of my telephone calls were returned promptly. I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this situation.

Compassionate Attorney

My family went to see Attorney Victor because we had many questions regarding the sale of my father's house when he was in a nursing home. He was on Mass Health at the time. Attorney Victor spent over an hour with us, answering questions and explaining the laws to us. Once our meeting was over, it... was clear that based on her recommendations we wouldn't need to do anything. I offered to pay her for her time and she refused to let me! We were very pleased with her services and were willing to pay for her advice.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
