Helped our family through a difficult time

Attorney Allaire and his staff helped us navigate caring for an elderly family member and securing Title 19. Staff visited the nursing home multiple times, and followed up on any questions to ensure our Mom was well cared for for the rest of her life. We are grateful for the assistance which we c...ould not have done alone.

Medicaid title 19 planning

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.

Title 19 application

Steve and his staff worked with me to apply for Title 19 Medicaid. We hired him right away after the first interview which was the day after we called. It was the best route to take and we are very pleased with the hard work and persistence. The state approval was granted only a few weeks after they ...submitted the forms and tons of backup data that was required.

Title 19 and Probate Assistance

I hired the Allaire Elder Law team to help with the complicated Title 19 application as well as the probate court filings for my father. From the first consultation to the final filings they have been very professional, caring and easy to work with. The filings can be rather complex and it is comfort...ing to have a team behind you that fully understands the process and cares about all parties involved. I highly recommend them.

Peace of mind...

Mr. Allaire and his wonderful staff helped our family during a time of great need and a situation with which we had little knowledge. My Dad was diagnosed with a degenerative disease and was moving to Connecticut from New York to live closer to me. We needed help in finding appropriate care, changin...g the type of appropriate care as his health declines, going through the arduous task of completing a Medicaid application and preserving as much of his estate as we can. Mr. Allaire provided us with thoughtful solutions and educated us as well. The fee we paid was well worth it. Mr. Allaire saved us his fee many times over. Mr. Allaire's staff provides a service like none other. Phone calls and emails were returned immediately. Each member of the staff has been respectful, knowledgeable and professional. They become part of the family. I cannot imagine what we would have done without the advice of Mr. Allaire and his staff.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
