Stephen O Allaire

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s a few years ago and we were struggling to pay for and get him the help he needed. I spoke to a good friend of mine for suggestions and she recommended that we see an elder law attorney to discuss our options. I did a quick search and came across Attorney Alla...ire’s practice. After reading all the great reviews I decided to set up a consultation. We first met with Charlotte, she quickly reviewed our case and suggested that we apply for Medicaid. She was so helpful and informative that we decided to hire Attorney Allaire to help us complete and file the Medicaid application for my husband. She did warn us that we were going to have to provide them a lot of paperwork and at times will be very overwhelming. She wasn’t kidding, but with all the help from Attorney Allaire’s office my husband is now on Medicaid getting the help he needs. There is no way we could have accomplished this on our own. I can not thank Attorney Allaire and his wonderful staff enough. They made the impossible, possible!

When it was clear my mother couldn't continue to pay for a live-in aide without soon running out of money, I tried on my own to find out how she might qualify for the CT Home Care Program for Elders. It was quickly obvious that I needed elder law professionals to help me understand the process and ...to usher the application through. I'm convinced that without the help of the paralegal, elder services coordinator, and Medicaid coordinator assigned to us, it could never have been done. Working with them couldn't have been easier--they were completely and quickly responsive, always knew the answers to my questions, and provided constant reassurance along the way. Now that the cost of mom's aide has been taken over by Medicaid, mom can continue to live in her apartment for at least a year longer than she would have--and at her advanced age, that might mean being able to live out her life at home. This legal service was worth every penny, and I recommend the firm to anyone who might have similar needs.

Attorney Allaire and his staff were extremely helpful with a recent medicaid application and preparing other legal documents for elderly parents. Response to calls and emails were returned in a very timely manner. Jessica, our Medicaid Paralegal, provided great guidance as we moved through the comp...lex process of documentation required to secure a successful outcome. She is very thorough, which minimized the time it took for the case to be reviewed/approved by the State. There are many possibilities depending on each person's circumstances and Jessica took time to explain what option was being used and why. Charlotte, our Elder Care Coordinator has provided suggestions and support to secure the best services possible to enable my parents to remain in their home with the proper level of care. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped us focus on the right things at the appropriate time. I highly recommend Allaire Elder Law for such services.
