Outstanding Legal Services for Life Planning

It was tremendously helpful to have Mr. Rothkoff's guidance, along with the expertise of the members of his firm, in helping to create a life care plan for my mother. I couldn't have managed such a complex process on my own, especially when applying for veteran's benefits. I'll always be grateful... and would (and indeed already have!) recommend his services to others.

Client Review - J Rothkoff

We have been a client for 3 yrs and from our first meeting to discuss my mothers Life Care Plan, I have had complete confidence in Jerold and the staff at Rothkoff Law Group. Initially we faced the challenge of updating her legal and financial plans, Jerold and team quickly developed the plan and pu...t it in action. We then had a complete review of her insurance policies and public programs for her medical care. As my mothers condition progressed, they were there each step of the way. Finding the right care facility was a frightening task but with their specialists, we had their expertise on our side. I have found them to be compassionate and professional at all times. Although our roles as children of aging parents is not easy, Jerold has provided me with the peace of mind that i am making the best choices for my mom. I have, and will continue to recommend Rothkoff Law Group to family and friends.

Client Review of Jerold E Rothkoff

My family was introduced to Jerry Rothkoff and his firm over 6 years ago. My father was going to be 80 years old and moving into an independent living facility. We found the need for some sound legal advice in regards to his long term health and financial needs. Jerry and his team met with all of us,... got a good idea of my Dad's needs and resources and helped design a plan for my Dad to get the maximum benefit from what was available to him. Without Jerry and his team, my Dad would not be going on 87 years "young" and still going strong. The help, advice and guidance have been invaluable and have enabled all of us to rest easy that Dad is happy, healthy and taken care of.

Got the job done

We met with Jerold one time in his office. He went over all the details regarding our long-term care insurance policy. Our policy got cut off by the company. He went over all the paperwork we brought in and discusssed our options and how to go about getting our policy re-instated. After that we c...ommunicated with Jacinda most of the time and she kept us informed as to the status of our appeal and how things were going. Jerold did call to keep us abreast of how things were going and what he was doing. Eventually after about five months of back and forth between the office and our insurance, our policy finally did get re-instated. We are very gratetful to have the policy back in force. We thank everyone for the work they did to help us in our situation. It was well worth it. If we need any assistance with insurance in the future, we will be contacting Rothkoff again.

A Professional and Caring Team!

From our initial meeting 3 years ago to the present, my family and I have been in good hands with Jerold Rothkoff and his team. In the beginning, it was all about the legal guidance we needed to plan for my Mother's future at a time when we were overwhelmed. But, throughout this journey, the relati...onship has become much more. Jerry and his professional, caring team have become an invaluable extension of our family! They are consistently responsive, trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate in all matters. Jerry's staff has effectively assisted me in coordinating my Mother's health care as her mobility continues to decline due to a neurological condition. I feel confident that she is getting the best care possible. In addition, Jerry's persistent and diligent professionals reviewed the details of my Mother's Long Term Care Insurance policy and were instrumental in securing benefits that were due to her. We could not have had a more positive experience over these last 3 years, and I would recommend the Rothkoff Law Group without hesitation to anyone that asked.

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.
