Extremely Competent, Very Through and Personable Professional

Attorney Stephen Allaire and his staff did an exemplary job throughout the past six years planning for my mothers financial future and representing her throughout her application for Medicaid. The knowledge and experience of his staff social worker and paralegal made the application with the Connecti...cut Department of Social Services for Medicaid go smoothly and in a timely manner My mother who is now 96 is in a at home living environment with 24/7 care and is happy and doing well. So glad he was able to guide our way through a process that involves a broad diversity of knowledge to a very positive outcome.

Legal guidance for Title IXX planning and probate filings

The legal advise and guidance of Stephen Allaire for my father's Title IXX and probate process was absolutely outstanding. Stephen's office of Valerie and Ann continuously walked our family through all the hurdles and made this overwhelming task manageable. I would highly recommend the Law Office ...of Stephen Allaire for anyone seeking estate planning for a loved one or themselves.

Arlene Parady

I was looking for expertise on elder law and medicare for my brother who was a stroke patient in convalescent care. My goal was to get him home where i could take care of him and make a better quality of life for him. When i met with Attorney Allaire and his team i was so convinced they understood my... goal. With experience , they had as much determination as i did. I hired the team and to my surprise they played a very active role in my day to day preparations as well as visiting my brother . While some days seemed tough and frustrating they never let me lose sight of my goal and cheered me on. With that being said 10 months later I was taking my brother home to live and the team was right there with me . Life matters and it cant be dismissed to just accept what's not perfect and its wonderful when you come across people that get it.
