Eldercare/Medicaid

Our experience with Fendrick Morgan has been excellent. This has been one of the hardest, if not the hardest part of life to deal with. Doug and Jamie have been by our side every step of the way. There was never a moment of time when they were not with us. We are especially grateful to Kathy and sta...ff who have always been there to make sure all paperwork was completed and submitted promptly. And above all we are indebted to Madeline Thorn, ESQ. who has worked tirelessly, even when there seemed to be insurmountable odds to make sure everything was completed and submitted. Thank you also to Nancy Carman, Eldercare Coordinator, for her very helpful advice and guidance. We would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to anyone in need of eldercare law. Thank you again to the Fendrick Morgan law firm for their excellent service and commitment.

Thank you for putting our minds at ease

Thank you, Doug, for helping us get everything in order so that our elderly parents can finally set all of that complex estate paperwork aside and just relax and enjoy their elderyears. We were in good hands !

Doug Fendrick was fantastic!

Doug was referred to us by good friends who had used him for eldercare estate planning twice. My parents & I met with him twice to have new wills & estate trusts prepared and he was very easy to talk to and had answers to all of our questions. He took all the time necessary to explain things and go... over recommendations that he had to address our concerns and wishes. My parents loved the way they were treated and guided in the estate planning process. They now have excellent plans & documents in place to handle their affairs and estate. His office staff were very helpful as well and treated us like royalty. We have already recommended Doug to a childhood friend of my father's who is looking to duplicate what we did and we will absolutely recommend them again! Thanks again to Doug & his wonderful staff, especially Jennifer Blake, for all of their help in navigating the tricky and scary estate planning process that most seniors are hesitant to undertake before something happens and they are unable to. Keep up the good work Doug!

Elder Care Advice and Guidance for Mom

Doug guided our family through the complex decisions pertaining to elder care and estate planning for my mother, who turned 100 years old in October of 2018. He enabled us to maximize the use of her assets, starting with providing for in home care, the sale of her home, and eventually through to assi...sted living and Medicaid. The Medicaid application process is extensive, and legal documents were required to obtain approval for those benefits. Mom is heading to her 101st birthday with a great quality of life, excellent care, and no financial worries for the future. Doug also guided us to prearrange her final funeral and burial arrangements. Our family couldn’t have done any of this without Doug. His knowledge, professionalism, ethics, responsiveness, and compassion are second to none. Thank you again, Doug, for all your consideration, and for helping our family in this important way.

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.
