Linda Levine Eliovson

Several main problems that I can go through in detail by memory. My first impression was of her berating a young intern or employee to the point of tears in public. Then I learned it wasn't just employees, it was clients. Eldercare clients. Then I learned it included me, an eldercare client payi...ng $600.00 hour for a snapping turtle. Every time she snapped, I took it, though t about it and said to myself I have no idea what caused that. At the third meeting she did it again to someone else and I said "Wait a minute, you are not a criminal lawyer, we are not criiminals. We are also also not rich and no more of this at your $600 an hour What kind of eldercare attorney talks to their eldercare clients? She replied dismissively that technically my 90 year old mother was her client. Now just think about that for a minute and see if you can think of a worse possible reply in a courtroom. She's basically saying my 90 year old mother is safe from her barbs but that the children attempting to pay for it are fare game. Not at $600 an hour were not! Recently asked for a simple line item accounting of meetings held and was informed by an employee after consulting with her that the "file had been shred", Why don't you give me a call because you've been too afraid to talk to me. On the other hand she gives pleasant little radio talks. No problems whatsoever with the staff. And the infamous weakness of a snapping turtle is a weak underbelly.......

We had a wonderful experience with Atty. Linda Eliovson recently. We sought her out for a very difficult case with my Mom who had been refused Medicaid. There were also extenuating circumstances. Our former attorney was not able to handle the case. Atty. Eliovson and her firm took on our case and wer...e hopeful that they would succeed in obtaining Medicaid for my Mom. They worked tirelessly and we worked along with them. We felt involved and updated and Atty. Eliovson was very direct and organized with what was our responsibility. She always explained everything to us thoroughly and we were amazed at her expertise with elder law. Even though we were dealing with a very serious issue, Atty. Eliovson brought a lightness to our meetings together. She is a dedicated woman and obviously loves what she does. She has a moral compass and wants to do what is right in the framework of the law. The entire staff was very supportive and their hospitality always made us feel very welcome. The best thing is that my Mom is now on Medicaid!

I have the utmost respect for Lyn. I had an extremely complex problem with my estate because of a husband who had late stage Alzheimers. What I was facing was daunting! She was so knowledgeable with the processes of his care and final placement in AARC. Her expertise with what I had to do with my ass...ets in order for me to apply for Medicaid and be approved was exceptional. She was very through in explaining everything! I could think of NO ONE else I would wish to work.
