Posted by J. Sean Bradshaw | February 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

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.

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.

Excellent Law Firm, the best when you have a family member who needs long term care and/or medicaid issues.

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.

Taking care of my parents

When the time came that my parents needed more care than what I could do, we needed help getting them the care they needed and covering the financial aspects too. I didn’t know where to begin and I was given the name Rothkoff Law Group by two different people. I made an appointment and Jerry and his ...team met with my family and I to explain how we could manage this. They were very thorough in their presentation and we hired them to help us navigate through to us all the complicated things we needed to do and guided us every step of the way from financially to personally in the care of our parents. This process can be very stressful but having them to lean on saved my sanity. I would recommend this firm highly, they took care of everything in a professional and caring way. Thank you for everything!

  • 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.
