Outstanding direction and support during a difficult time

We met with Rothkoff Law Group shortly after my father suffered a severe stroke and his outcome was uncertain. Jerry and his team were able to quickly assist us in preparing for the next steps in my father’s care while helping us carefully plan for my mother’s future. Choices had to be made and we we...re not prepared to navigate the process surrounding long-term care. The care coordination efforts we received were invaluable, giving us peace of mind that we were making the best decisions at each turn. The communication was clear and well documented, and we always received prompt responses to any questions or concerns we had. A sincere thank you to Jerry, Jennifer, Shannon, and everyone at Rothkoff for their guidance and support.

Estate planning, elder law, social work

Best phone call I ever made. While speaking with Mr. Rothkoff for the first time, he asked "why are looking for legal help with managing your mother's estate?" As Power of Attorney for my mother, I was terrified I would make a mistake that would be to her financial detriment. I lived in one state, s...he was currently in another and was re-locating to a third. I had heard horror stories from people who just didn't know how to navigate elder care law. When I told him such, he replied: "We'd love to help you. When can you come in?" I felt like I'd just been welcomed to the family! The services provided by Rothkoff Law Group have proven invaluable. Every interaction with anyone from Rothkoff Law Group is pleasant and efficient. I'm really so grateful that I picked up the phone that day.

Great hepl with parents

In a very tough year, after losing my sister who was primary care for my elderly parents, Jerry and his staff were a godsend in dealing with all the issues that we had to deal with. Well worth the money for setting up and maintaining care for the elderly

Rothkoff Law Group has assisted our family with difficult issues in excess of six years. As a practicing attorney I was familiar with the firm, and when posed with the elder care issues of my parents I had no hesitation in seeking them out. The attorneys and staff are knowledgeable, kind and caring.... The holistic approach to elder care certainly eased our way. They were available to answer all our concerns, respond as needed to my parents’ health care and other issues, and supported us with difficult decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend them as the best in this area of practice, and I am happy to refer them to those who need their services.

Thank You.

Jerry and his team were always there when needed. Shannon dealt with the nightmare of getting my mother approved for Medicaid and I could have never done it without her. The care team was always available and responded if there was something that needed attention at mom's assisted living facility. J...erry also represents my mother in law so it was an easy decision when I needed help with my mom. Thank you again for all your assistance.

  • 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.
