This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Disgusted

I trusted Atty. Hadaway with my mother's money. My opinion is that her work was sloppy, and her communication quite poor. My opinion is that her wrong advise wound up costing me (besides the $9000 retainer) an additional $6500, and this would have been more if I didn't consult another lawyer who to...ok 5 minutes to correct Attorney Hadaway's reckless advice. It is also my opinion that when I confronted her about these issues, she danced around them. I would have appreciated a little humility however instead I received arrogant replies questioning my memory. She even has the audacity to infer that my mother was of ne help to her...so cruel and insulting since she knew my mother was in a long tern care nursing facility-which was why I met with office in the first place. It's a wonderful thing when you do business with someone and your experience is so positive, refreshing and so rewarding that you can't want to share your experiences with family and friends. I can't tell everyone how poor my experience was, and most of all really disgusted by the consistent feeling of arrogance over integrity I felt I received by Attorney Hadaway.

Managed a Medicaid application for my wife

Deborah Hadaway handled my wife's medicaid application from start to finish and secured medicaid acceptance for her. There were many hurdles to overcome and Attorney Hadaway overcame them with grace ,patience, and compassion. My wife and I had complete trust in Attorney Hadaway's ability to advise an...d instruct us in all the complicated issues that arose in the course of this legal procedure. I was totally pleased with Attorney Hadaway's handling of this involved legal procedure.

Extremely Satisfied Client

We found Attorney Hadaway by happenstance while trying to navigate the ins and outs of our family member's recent long term care placement. We needed legal guidance on how to properly liquidate assets, spend down and begin the process of applying for Long Term Care Assistance from Medicaid. Attorne...y Hadaway was a true blessing for our family. Not only was she a pleasure to work with but she gave us the confidence to negotiate a very difficult process with as little stress as possible. She was very comforting, assuring us that she'd "let us know when it was time to worry" - we never needed to. She handled everything and was amazing. Her guidance was invaluable to us. She was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with - returned emails & phone calls very quickly. Excellent follow through and knowledge pertaining to Long Term Care assistance. We were beyond pleased with her support, professionalism and compassion for our situation.

Client Review

Deborah helped me get through an incredibly difficult time. Without her guidance and expertise I don't know how my family probate situation would have come out. She worked hard and got results for me. Though she's not cheap, she was worth every dollar spent,
