Very Satisfied

I contacted Atty. Allaire for help in settling my late sister's estate as he was the attorney that wrote her will. After the initial meeting, I dealt with Ms. Ann Spartas. She guided me through the entire process and answered all my questions along the way. I was very satisfied with the entire pro...cess and would highly recommend this firm.

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.

Elder Care Life Saver!

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!

Avvo Rating

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.
