Medicaid

I hired Attorney Allaire law firm to assist with securing Medicaid funding for my elderly parent. Attorney Allaire was very knowledgeable explaining resources available for the elderly. Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She was very organized and prompt in responding to my numerous questions. I c...an't thank them enough for assisting me through this complicated process.

Title 19 application

Stephen Allaire and his group helped me file a Title 19 application. It was a daunting complicated task which I couldn't have accomplished without them. They were my coaches and counselors.

The guiding light

Attorney Allaire's office helped us negotiate the challenging path to get mom qualified for Medicaid. It was becoming more difficult for her to live at home, which was very important to her. Atty Allaire and his staff offered sound recommendations for protecting her assets and paying for her care. ... Every person on his staff that we worked with was supportive and especially helpful every step of the way. As a result we have been successful in our endeavor thanks to the professionalism of this office.
