The Harman Family experience as Rothkoff Law Group clients.

Our family needed help and direction in choosing an Alzheimer's care facility for a family member. We chose Rothkoff Law Group based upon the recommendation of an attorney in Florida, and after more than 2 yrs as Rothkoff clients we feel so very fortunate to have benefited in so many ways from the s...kill, knowledge and dedication these caring people have shown us. Their high degree of effectiveness is a direct result of their attention to detail, ability to listen to family input in a skillful and concerned way, and the manner in which the team works as a whole. The staff all have different skills and special areas of expertise yet they all manage to focus together on one goal......and that is providing the guidance and direction we needed during a difficult time. The Rothkoff Law Group provided our family with the choices and information necessary to select a care facility that would provide comfortable, quality care for our family member. Different staff members all contributed to help our family deal with insurance issues, financial counseling, liason with agencies, they submitted complicated applications on our behalf, answered our many questions and arranged meetings as we needed them. We are profoundly thankful for the suggestion and recommendation Rothkoff Law Group made to us for the facility in which to place our family member. This is confirmed by the continuing flow of accolades I hear as relatives and other family members visit the facility and they witness first hand the high level of quality care, competence, and caring motivation of the facility staff. Rothkoff Law Group, through their screening process, attention to detail, use of trained and qualified individuals on their law staff, was able to give my family all of the information we needed in order to make the decision on what facility to choose. We simply could not have even come close to achieving this level of success on our own. The value of Rothkoff Law Group services goes far beyond simple fees......it is about quality of life for a valued and loved family member. The Rothkoff Law Group is one very high performing team.

Mr. Rothkoff knows his stuff . . .

When my mother and I needed help with legal & financial advice, information on where to turn for care, and planning for an elderly family member's future, we had no idea where to begin or what to do. We felt overwhelmed, confused, stressed, and lost. Mr. Rothkoff's name and contact information was... given to us by a a family member's co-worker who was in a similar situation. Being unsure that anyone could even help us with the stress of trying to get a direction, we scheduled an appointment to meet with Mr. Rothkoff. When we got to Mr. Rothkoff's office, we were immediately welcomed in by a friendly staff. Mr. Rothkoff asked us what kind of advice we were looking for to determine if he could be of assistance. After our first meeting, we had already determined that Mr. Rothkoff was very knowledgeable in his field and he presented us with an initial plan to help our relative. It was at this point that we decided to hire him. Mr. Rothkoff helped us plan for our loved one's financial future, health care, benefits, comfort, happiness, and things that we just hadn't even thought of to ask when we first met with him, such as how to simplify the planning. Mr. Rothkoff has an intimate relationship with clients and was on hand to answer questions whenever we phoned. His large staff was always available to answer questions and address situations. While the fee seemed scary at first, we really got the bargain: without billing a la cart like so many lawyers do: we had unlimited access via phone calls, personalized meetings, and other individual client specific services - whatever they happened to be in the moment. Mr. Rothkoff never left us wondering when we had a question, explained all of our options, explained whatever he thought the best solution for any issues that arose, allowed us to decide, and kept us informed on every aspect of our loved one's situation as he continued to handle things for us. With the legal aid of Mr. Rothkoff, we were able to let go of all of the stress associated with our loved one and be a family, while he worried addressed the difficulties of planning and getting the "bigger picture" taken care of. As a result of our work with Mr. Rothkoff, we know that as we age, if we need the assistance of an elder law firm, we can place every bit of our trust with Mr. Rothkoff and the rest of his compassionate, responsive staff.

Peter, thank you for your very kind words. It is always gratifying to receive such compliments from client's family members. Our main goal that all on our staff on our elder law team strive to achieve is peace of mind for the family. It is an added bonus to be able to work with such a kind, loving family. Jerry Rothkoff

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.
