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.

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.

If you really care about mom and dad then call Jerry for honest guidance and capable support from start to finish.

Jerry has gone above and beyond our expectations. His ability to keep his hand on the pulse of the ever changing eldercare landscape combined with his true desire to guide us seemlessly through many difficult decisions has been the answer to our prayers. After suuccessfully raising ten children the ...time has come to put mom & dads needs first by providing the best care we could find. Not an easy task on your own. We had questions about the new laws, healthcare, the finances and their wills. We really needed help when dad ended up in assisted living after a hospital stay. Life would not be the same. So many concerns and questions. Having a large family there were a lot of opinions of what should happen to mom with a big empty house with dad in a home needing care. The pressure was tremendous and the clock was ticking. We knew the money wouldn't last forever and we were worried about moms security and her peace of mind. A few months into the process we were introduced to Jerry by our local attorney's office manager. She has worked with Jerry professionally for 20 years and assured us that it was the right step for us to take. From our first meeting with Jerry and members of his team we felt immediate relief. The process was quick and easy as we all got together at once to help determine mom and dads care plan and how to preserve their hard earned retirement funds. Many of the mysteries simply dissolved and the action steps to take were clear! In the following months the Rothkoff Law Group guided us every step of the way as dad needed more care and moms house seemed to get bigger. We have been able to reach out anytime with questions or as a new problem popped up. Each time there has been someone from Jerry's office there for us, first to listen and then to help us through. With Jerry's help : We have successfully secured the right care for both mom and dad. We have put their finances in order. Handled all legal issues or questions. Updated their wills. Created solid plans for their future allowing for unexpected changes and events. I would not change a thing if I had to do it all over again , Rothkoff Law Group was and is clearly the solution to our families eldercare needs. The compassion was there to support us when needed and the legal strategy put us on track and is still working well for us. After this experience I would never go it alone when it comes to being responsible for my parents well being and security.... I appreciate the hours of hard work that was put in both in the office and in the field by the entire team. Great job! I Give Jerry Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and would like to express our deepest appreciation!

Way more than a law firm

My parents hired Jerry and his team around 9 months ago and it was one of the best decisions they ever made. My dad has Alzheimer's disease and my mom decided they needed to think about moving to assisted living. Janie and other members of the team gave suggestions on assisted living facilities... to consider based on their situation. When they needed help in the interim they recommended excellent home care services. My parents are now in an assisted living facility and Janie continues to advocate for them and help in every aspect of their care. She treats them like they are members of her own family. Besides the amazing service the firm provides regarding my parents' living situation and care, they also assist with processing of the long term care insurance claims. Jacinda has been wonderful working with the insurance company and has saved us countless hours by handling this. The administrative staff is also great to deal with. The scope and depth of their service surprised me, they are so much more than a law firm. That's why I would highly recommend them.

You can count on Rothkoff

Seven years ago my husband descended into the depths of Alzheimers disease. I had to make quick decisions about his future (and mine). I tried to get information from the Veterans Administration for help to no avail and was in a state of despair when I learned about the Rothkoff practice. Throug...h all this time their help was immeasurable. The very competent and compassionate staff led me through the jungle of regulations and paperwork associated with all the government agencies involved. The details were dizzying. In the end, my husband was placed in assisted living and nursing homes that were close to my home. With the assistance of the Rothkoff firm, they were responsive to all of his needs and I am confident he is getting the best care possible. The beauty of the practice is the way it is organized. The experts on staff deal specifically with the different agencies involved (social security, Veterans Administration, nursing homes, etc.) There are regular care conferences scheduled to answer questions you may have about the care your loved one is receiving. Believe me, when Rothkoff speaks, they listen. I could go on, but just let me say having the Rothkoff team on my side was invaluable in relieving the anxiety this huge undertaking creates. I will be forever grateful to the Rothkoff practice.
