Allaire Elder Law Equals Exceptional Service

I was tasked with putting my Mother's affairs in order, as she was moved to a Long Term facility due to medical conditions. I quickly realized that caring for her affairs was beyond my capability. I reached out to Attorney Stephen Allaire for his assistance. When I left the initial consultation I fel...t as if the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders. His Team provide me with the proper guidance, and immediately interceded on my behalf. I was extremely pleased with the results, knowing my Mother's affairs were properly cared for. Attorney Stephen Allaire and his staff Exceeded My Expectations. I highly recommend Attorney Allaire to anyone who is tasked with dealing with the affairs of their elderly loved ones.

Attorney Allaire was hired to do a long term care plan for my Dad. Charlotte and Darlene, part of Attorney Allaire's team have been a tremendous help. They have been with me step by step during this entire process. They sat with me in my Dad's Healthcare meetings . They spoke up on any concerns that... arose and made sure my Dad had the best care. They had very thoroughly prepared for all situations. They made me feel like I was the only client.

I hired Attorney Allaire for assistance during a very trying time for my family. Attorney Allaire expertly assisted with elder care issues, asset protection, and estate planning. He came highly recommended, and he lives up to his reputation -- I give him and his team my highest recommendation. We wer...e working against some very tight deadlines, and Attorney Allaire and his team were incredibly personable, responsive, and competent. He has assembled a powerhouse group that can expertly navigate the confusing terrain of elder care law and planning. He's a man of integrity, which is incredibly refreshing.

awesome

I cannot tell how much I appreciate the hard work this team has done for my mother and I. It was quite a lot of paperwork involved but they walked me thru every step and really fought for benefits for my elderly mother. Mom did eventually pass away but knew that everything was in good hands and her... children were left worry free and nothing went thru probate. It was well worth the money to be in such good hands.

Peace of mind...

Mr. Allaire and his wonderful staff helped our family during a time of great need and a situation with which we had little knowledge. My Dad was diagnosed with a degenerative disease and was moving to Connecticut from New York to live closer to me. We needed help in finding appropriate care, changin...g the type of appropriate care as his health declines, going through the arduous task of completing a Medicaid application and preserving as much of his estate as we can. Mr. Allaire provided us with thoughtful solutions and educated us as well. The fee we paid was well worth it. Mr. Allaire saved us his fee many times over. Mr. Allaire's staff provides a service like none other. Phone calls and emails were returned immediately. Each member of the staff has been respectful, knowledgeable and professional. They become part of the family. I cannot imagine what we would have done without the advice of Mr. Allaire and his staff.

  • 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.
