Medicaid Qualification

Attorney Stephen Allaire and his team professionally guided me through the process of qualifying my husband, who is ill with a progressive disease and also was stricken with a life-threatening bacterial infection, for medicaid while preserving my own assets. They know what to do and how to do it wo...rking with the people who review the cases at DSS. They let me know what I needed to do and answered all my questions and assured me things were moving in the right direction. While working with the team, I felt they really cared what happened to us and were working in our best interests. They put me in touch with the people I needed to contact for home services and kept checking with me to find out if everything was going along the way it should. Charlotte Audet and Darlene Bossi were so supportive in this regard. I feel fortunate that I was able to hire Attorney Allaire and his staff to work with me. They got me through a difficult time and process. I highly recommend them.

Reliable, trustworthy, dedicated Elder Lawyer and Team. I would highly recommend.

Allaire and team were great to work with. They called back and got me in quickly. The entire team was pleasant and friendly to work with. They helped guide me and made the process as easy as possible. Leaving the office, I knew I had made the right choice. Darlene is a true pleasure to work with. She... was quick to respond to emails and any questions, she knew her stuff and always did it kindly. I would use Attorney Allaire again in the future and would recommend them.

Title 19 Experts

Allaire Elder Law handled the application process for our family member with expertise. The Allaire Elder Law team was professional as well as supportive with each step of the process. We encountered some difficulty locating missing financial documents for the application. The Allaire Elder Law team... was able to assist us and ultimately retrieved the necessary documents relieving us of the stress and confusion. Thanks to Allaire Elder Law ...especially Amanda Jurasek for her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail throughout this process. We had a very successful outcome for our family member.

Wonderful Experience with Attorney Allaire

Thanks to Attorney Allaire and his firm's immense assistance, my mother was able to qualify for Medicaid and receive many helpful benefits that have saved our family an exorbitant amount of money as well as alleviating an incredible amount of stress and worry about the future. Everyone at the firm wa...s entirely professional and helpful, while also being very understanding and empathetic of the emotional circumstances. I highly recommend Attorney Allaire and his team to anyone looking for compassionate and professional assistance for applying to Medicaid based on the excellent experience I had.

Annette F. Hahl

When my 93 year old Mother came to live with us I felt we needed direction and assistance to give her the best care and keep her home with us. Atty Allaire and his staff met with us and explained what was available and going forward what would be needed to help my Mother and help us take care of... her. He and his staff spoke directly to my Mother and this was important. Just because she was 93 did not mean she couldn't speak for herself. They allowed her to maintain her dignity. That was very important to her and to me.

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.
