Stephen O Allaire

I visited Allaire Elder Law to prepare a will after signing with another Medicaid title 19 prep service for my wife's ongoing illness. During my initial interview, Mr. Allaire's insightful questions and comments impressed me to the point that I immediately retained his firm in place of my previo...us choice for title 19 application preparation. I have no regrets. The Allaire Elder Law team more than fulfilled my expectations in preparing and quickly obtaining approval for Medicaid title 19 benefits for my wife. They guided me in gathering data with easy to follow instructions and tasks. The whole Allaire Elder Law team was most patient with my excessive anxieties & questions and answered all my queries in layman's terms, not legalese mumbo jumbo. I unhesitatingly recommend the Allaire Elder Law firm to anyone needing title 19 application guidance, preparation and submission.

I never thought I would be in the position of this magnitude before April 12th, 2015. My father was diagnosed with dementia and he was rapid deterioration was so sad. I needed help and guidance, and found it. Through all of this I have become a professional in obtaining information, documentation a...nd paperwork needed. I would even be happy to tell my story to future clients it was not an easy road but well worth it. Thank you.

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.

We are especially grateful to have found Attorney Stephen Allaire and his knowledgeable and experienced paralegals to sort though the 2 + feet of paperwork for Medicaid and to save many assets from being lost. At 85 my father, a brilliant engineer was reduced to a man that could hardly speak, walk o...r eat without inhaleing the food caused by dementia and altimers. In his younger years he sold insurance and bought many policy's to povide for his family as dementia runs in the family. Dad also bought elder care insurance for both himself and his wife. He thought he we were all set but State of Connecticut rules have changed rendering most policy's useless to be cashed in for face value only. The elder care policy was never updated to the Connecticut's Partnership policy needed today so his policy only covered half the nursing homes cost. Dads poor and out of date preplaning could have been prevented by consulting with Attorney Stephen Allaire who is constantly training and up to date with ever changing state and federal laws. We again used Attorney Stephen Allaire to help me sell my house and buy moms house when she fell ill and needed constant care.
