Wonderful Lawyer!

Melissa has helped my family tremendously with getting my dad on the Medicaid program! She walked us through the entire process and answered every question we had. He's been on Medicaid a few years now and Melissa is still beyond helpful if we have any questions about anything related to Medicaid and... my dad!

Applying for Medicaid? You won't find a better Attorney than Melissa

We are very grateful to Melissa for assisting us with the Medicaid process to obtain benefits for my mom, who is in a Nursing Home. She is an expert in Medicaid law and the application process. Initially Melissa explained the Medicaid requirements and process to us. We reviewed my mom’s situation and... she developed a plan for the application. Melissa drafted the necessary Power of Attorney and Trusts and handled all details of the application with Medicaid, reviewed and submitted 5 years of my mom’s financial records and helped us deal with the financial institutions to obtain these records. She is very smart, easy to work and very accessible and I highly recommend her.

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.
