Jerold E Rothkoff

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.

The Rothkoff team are very knowledgeable, kind and caring. My sister has short term memory lose and needs care. We were having an issue with medicaid that could have resulted in my sister loosing her medicaid benefits. The Rothkoff team worked diligently on my sister's case. Even speaking to the ...medicaid general counsel. My sister was able to keep her medicaid benefits. My family is very satisfied with the work of the Rothkoff Team. We would recommend them to anyone with a family member who needs long term care and or having issues with Medicaid.

I was in need of an elder care law firm when we had to find a long term care facility early in 2013. With no prior experience in working with this type of lawyer, I was unsure what to expect. After several hours of hearing from Jerold Rothkoff and his staff, I felt more convinced that I had made th...e right decision to use them. Why? They were very forthright in their presentation and approach; were experts in the field of Medicare, knowledgeable in the area of nursing homes and rehab facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and would attend any patient care conferences in the facility of our choice. As soon as I contracted with them, we worked closely with them. With their streamlined process of gathering personal information needed to set up the account, it was quite easy for me to pull together what they needed. We reviewed that my father would not benefit from a VA facility and looked at all possible local area rehab/nursing facilities. His administrative staff was very efficient and set up follow up appointments and calls. The two key people I dealt with were Alicia Kagan for Medicare benefits and Janie De Leon-Male who attended all patients care meetings. Each person was critical in getting my father on Medicare and Medicaid and visiting the facility when I was not there and communicating with the management there. Now that my father is on Medicaid and in the right facility, I am very satisfied that he is in good hands where he is. I feel confident that by using an experienced and highly motivated elder care law firm, all the expectations and needs that I had were handled and I am very happy with the outcome. I would absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone who needs guidance and action concerning their elder family members.

Jerry Rothkoff and his team of experienced professionals worked diligently over the past 7 years to assist both my father and my mother with their elder care needs and legal assistance. While they are both now deceased, I am ever-grateful for the guidance, resources and exceptional service provided a...s both of my parents' needs progressed based on their health and economic conditions. From applying for Veteran's Benefits and Medicaid assistance through locating appropriate personal care and nursing home facilities, I was thoroughly impressed by the level of dedication and professionalism, prompt follow-through and knowledge demonstrated by Jerry and his staff. This type of guidance and legal services inclusive of planning through the end their lives was invaluable. Being a caregiver to both parents is a huge responsibility and having help every step of the way is truly a gift. I am so thankful that my parents selected the Rothkoff Law Group to handle their elder care needs.

My family hired the Rothkoff group in November of 2012 on the recommendation of my father's care facility. Our father's Medicaid application was a year old at that time and was rejected by a supervisor for being "too old to approve" even though we had complied to their every request. My father's vali...d claim needed to be appealed when we went to Rothkoff. The claim had been opened in November of 2011 and was not approved until July of 2013. At Rothkoff, we were treated well as Mr. Rothkoff explained our legal rights. Another expert in his firm, Jane Ferne-Zimmer took the case which required many months of work to satisfy the ever-changing needs of the Camden County Medicaid office. After several court appearances, many months of furnishing documents to the County that were in their original request, and many hours of work by the Rothkoff group on our behalf, our father's claim was approved. Six months after his death! Families go through so much stress in caring for an elder parent. We made daily trips to Daddy's facility to spend as much time as possible with him while handling all the details of his Medicare case. It was a nightmare. Without Rothkoff's help, the stress would have been unbearable. People in this situation really need a good advocate. Estate planning prior to our parents' illness allowed us to keep our home . Rothkoff and his associates provided excellent service to us during an extremely challenging time. My family can recommend them without hesitation. Their expertise was invaluable as we struggled to care for our Dad while answering requests and redundant requests from Camden County. The Rothkoff firm acted professionally at every step. Attentive to details as well as the needs of the family, they took care of everything. It is essential to work with someone with this much knowledge in these situations.
