Stephen O Allaire

Stephen has been our family attorney for many years. His track record with us covers more than one generation. He has consistently been our advisor and friend. His expertise in the fields of Elder Law and related issues has always been timely and spot-on. Backed up by a professional and staff of the ...highest quality my family continues to benefit from his wise and timely counsel!

Attorney Stephen Allaire and his team professionally guided me through the process of qualifying my husband, who is ill with a progressive disease and also was stricken with a life-threatening bacterial infection, for medicaid while preserving my own assets. They know what to do and how to do it wo...rking with the people who review the cases at DSS. They let me know what I needed to do and answered all my questions and assured me things were moving in the right direction. While working with the team, I felt they really cared what happened to us and were working in our best interests. They put me in touch with the people I needed to contact for home services and kept checking with me to find out if everything was going along the way it should. Charlotte Audet and Darlene Bossi were so supportive in this regard. I feel fortunate that I was able to hire Attorney Allaire and his staff to work with me. They got me through a difficult time and process. I highly recommend them.

Allaire Elder Law handled the application process for our family member with expertise. The Allaire Elder Law team was professional as well as supportive with each step of the process. We encountered some difficulty locating missing financial documents for the application. The Allaire Elder Law team... was able to assist us and ultimately retrieved the necessary documents relieving us of the stress and confusion. Thanks to Allaire Elder Law ...especially Amanda Jurasek for her kindness, professionalism and attention to detail throughout this process. We had a very successful outcome for our family member.

My sisters and I were very concerned for our mother's health as she grew older and more frail. We scheduled an appointment and met with Attorney Stephen Allaire of Allaire Elder Law. There was no pressure for us to hire him as he explained what he could do for us. We gave it some thought and agreed... to a "life care plan" for our mother. He explained to us what help we were to expect as mom's condition changed. We were assigned a care coordinator to help us. we had Charlotte Audet who guided us though the stages of care we could expect mom to need. Shortly after, mom developed pneumonia and was hospitalized. From there she went to rehab in a local nursing home. Daniella was assigned to guide us through all the details of our decision to have mom return home with a 24 hour care giver. She met with us at the rehab during the discharge planning meetings. Her expert advice helped us get though some difficult decisions. She helped us set up a Pooled Trust so mom could live out her life in the comfort and safety of her own home. The help we received was phenomenal. We were never told what to do. We were guided along as we made decisions. Information as to what to look for in an agency and what we could expect. We selected an agency and we were satisfied with the recommendation. Shortly after, mom came home with a 24 hour live in care giver. Since mom's money was running out fast, Jessica Sevigny was our liaison to help us navigate the process of getting mom accepted on the Medicaid program. It was a long process and many, many emails and trips were made to deliver the necessary documents. I could NEVER have done it without expert help. Mom is now at home with the help she needs thanks to the help we received from Allaire Elder Law. We highly recommend Allaire Elder Law to anyone looking for expert, care and knowledge in helping give a loved one the dignity of the life they deserve.

My mom was 85 when she was no longer able to care for herself. Although she was physically healthy her mind lost its ability to function. There were so many decisions to be made, almost all with legal implications (sales of house and car, her care, veteran benefits, medicaid, power of attorney, hea...lth proxies, among others). Thank goodness I was aware of Stephen Allaire's firm. Their legal expertise and their kindness and understanding guided my thru one of the most difficult times of my life. I will always be grateful to Stephen and his staff. Deb C.
