Shana Siegel

Shana Siegel, does not shy away from“taking on the establishment!” Shana was instrumental in the case against my mother, by the Division of Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services as well as, Medicaid in the State of New Jersey. Both branches, county and state levied an i...nconceivable attempt to reverse the “exempted” Holocaust restitution pension status, and ultimately were trying to retrieve moneys appropriated to Victims of the Nazi persecution, to go to their agencies. A true injustice by a government agency, towards a Holocaust survivor! Shana reached out to local and overseas institutions to produce documentation of proof of my mom’s eligibility status, spoke to numerous persons with first-hand knowledge, filed affidavits and testimonies on my mom’s behalf. Besides being a true advocate of the Elderly, Shana Siegel is knowledgeable, confident, easy to talk too, and was always readily available. I never felt rushed while expressing my thoughts or concerns or needing to talk over different options. Without Shana’s empathy and passion, to fight for the justice my mom so deserved, I truly do not think there would have been such an “amazing” outcome. With the Sincerest Gratitude, Susan

Shana Siegel and her paralegal Maureen Roger assisted my family in estate planning for our parents and later settling the estate of my mother. They were very available, understanding and skilled in helping my family make these plans and then carry them through when my mother died. At such an emotiona...l time it was a great comfort to work with this highly skilled law firm who were able to make the entire process understandable to all of us.

When my father fell ill and needed to move into a nursing home, my family turned to Wanderpolo and Siegel to guide us through the daunting Medicaid application process. Never having done this before, we needed their guidance to hold our hands and walk us through each step. They have failed miserabl...y in this regard. We felt neglected, ignored, disrespected, and foolish. They consistently missed meetings and key deadlines. Their office staff is beyond incompetent, delivering documents late and riddled with mistakes. When Shana Siegel was confronted with these complaints, she made excuses and tried to brush them aside as insignificant. She clearly doesn't understand who is paying her bills. Once they realized their billable hours exceeded the fixed price of our contract, it became very difficult to reach them or get a status on my father's application. We were relegated to the bottom of the pile. The application was ultimately approved, due in large part to my family's Herculean efforts. Run, do not walk, away from Wanderpolo and Siegel.
