Stephen O Allaire

I've know Steve for many years and my husband and I have used him to prepare our wills and power of attorney. When my Mother started to fail in the apartment she was living in, and I knew it was time to move her to a place that provide more, I turned to Steve and his team for help. I work full time... and the thought of trying to figure out what was best for Mom's care and how to pay for it was daunting. Steve and his team assessed her physical and financial situation and we ended up filing for Title 19. Mom was approved 2 weeks ago and now has a home health aid and a Visiting Nurse. I could not image having to go through the process without the help of Steve and his team!

As a primary caregiver to my father-in-law, I was increasingly concerned that my family would be put in dire straights by the immense financial burden associated with both health care and nursing home expenses. Fortunately, I was alerted to the services that Attorney Allaire provided through a weekly... column that he wrote in our local newspaper. We scheduled an initial consultation appointment with the Attorney to discuss the background of our dilemma. He listened intently and immediately put us at ease by offering a detailed game plan to assist our family in preserving key assets which would insure an adequate and comfortable lifestyle for my father-in-law. Attorney Allaire and his remarkable staff would not disappoint. After hiring the Attorney to represent us, his team of professionals immediately went to work in a tireless fashion helping us navigate the complexity of both state and federal regulations. Actually, the Attorney and his staff performed all of the heavy lifting, oftentimes simply asking for our signature on certain documents from time to time. Member's of his staff kept us updated at every turn and left us feeling confident and informed throughout the entire process. During important mandatory meetings with administrators at a nursing home/rehab facility, the Attorney assured that a staff member from his office was always in attendance representing our family's best interest. The end result is that Attorney Allaire and his team gave my father-in-law (and our family) a financial peace as he guided us through a relatively seamless process in procuring Medicaid and a comfortable existence in a senior living community. There is no way we could have navigated this entire process alone. His one year Lifecare program proved invaluable to our family and I would wholehearted recommend him to anyone in a similar situation without hesitation.

I've worked with Steve and his excellent support staff for close to 10 years now, first planning for my father's late-life care and then for my mother's. The work we did around creating a Trust and long-term care planning has been extremely beneficial. Steve's team is very knowledgeable, and works ...closely with you to ensure you're making the right decisions.

My mother has Alzheimer's disease, and after caring for her for several years in her home my sister and I realized we could not afford to do so for much longer. After some research, we realized that the only real alternative was to apply for Medicaid long-term care benefits. I found Allaire Elder... Law on the Web, and based on what I read there my impression was that Stephen Allaire was quite likely our best bet to obtain Medicaid benefits for my mother in the state of CT. After meeting with Mr. Allaire and members of his team, I was certain I'd made the right choice. He and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and understanding, and walked us through the entire process step by step. Over the next several weeks the Allaire group assembled and organized the information and documents required for a successful application, communicated with the various state agencies involved in the application process, and and answered every one of our many questions. It's quite an involved procedure, but it was made as painless as possible for us. Long story short, we are now approved for Medicaid benefits, my mother has excellent caregivers, and our worry level has dropped dramatically. I feel this is solely due to our retaining Stephen Allaire's firm to handle our application, as I'm quite certain I would not have been able to do it myself.

Attorney Allaire is very efficient and extremely knowledgeable in the area of elder law. He explains the law so that it can be understood. He followed up on all of the issues that were needing additional attention. The staff that works with him was in constant contact with me and they were always ...polite, patient, responsive and informative. Difficult issues were resolved with an ending result that was very beneficial for my elderly father. I would highly recommend Attorney Allaire to anyone who is in need of elder law services.
