Excellent Elder Law Firm!

Attorney Allaire's law firm helped me file my mother's Medicaid Title 19 application. I was assigned to a Medicaid Paralegal and she was fantastic. The office is very responsive and cares about the struggles the family is going through. Attorney Allaire has a great team. This is the second time I hav...e used their services and will again if needed.

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.

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.

Title 19 Medicaid

Being new to this and needing to get Mom into a health care facility was a very stressful time. Thanks to Steve and Darlene, I was reassured after our initial consultation. Irene, my go to person, walked me step by step in a very kind and understanding way.

Helped our family through a difficult time

Attorney Allaire and his staff helped us navigate caring for an elderly family member and securing Title 19. Staff visited the nursing home multiple times, and followed up on any questions to ensure our Mom was well cared for for the rest of her life. We are grateful for the assistance which we c...ould not have done alone.

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.
