Mary Guido

Amy MacIsaac is an excellent Elder Attorney. She has a complete and thorough knowledge of the laws governing elder care and especially rules governed by Medicaid. Amy is an honest and trustworthy person. She came to our house and explained each step of the process for applying for Medicaid for our Mo...ther. She prepared the POA, the Medical Directive and the Medicaid application. She always kept us informed as the process progressed. At every step we knew she had my Mother's (and our) best interests in mind. Amy's fees were very reasonable. We went to Amy as a second opinion and her fees were half of the fees we would have paid to the first attorney we consulted. But money aside, we were more than satisfied with Amy's help. We have and will recommend her to everyone that needs an Elder Attorney.

Highly recommended!

This attorney is simply an honest and decent person. She was a tremendous help to my family and she really came through for us. After many failed attempts to get Medicaid to cover our mother's nursing home care we finally threw up our hands and found Amy. If we had simply gone to her from the beg...inning we could have avoided alot of headaches and emotional turmoil.

Fantastic Attorney

I can't say enough about this attorney. Amy is an honest straight shooter who puts her clients needs first. She is incredibly knowledgeable about elder law and is an expert on medicaid. She was always available to us and I highly recommend her.

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.
