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.

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.

Jerry Rothkoff and excellent lawyer who truly cares!

I am posting this review to relate my experience I had with Jerold (Jerry) Rothkoff concerning the many issues I had to deal with on behalf of my mother. I worked with Jerry for five years it was an excellent experience in a very difficult time. I felt it would be best to share a letter I wrote to Je...rry and his staff after the passing of Mom. As follows: Dear Jerry, I am writing to you and your staff to thank you for all the help you have provided us over the years. As I look back over the 5 years we have worked together concerning my mother’s issues it amazes me how well we all did keeping her as functional and care for as possible. It is clear to all of us in our family that we could not have done it without your help. Both you and your staff were always there for us. Whenever we needed anything concerning mom’s affairs or even just general advice, with lightning speed my calls and e-mails were returned with excellent information and guidance. All I heard from your side was “No problem we will take care of it” or “This is what I suggest and these are your options”, and with all the details we had to work through these responses were of the greatest value. My mind was clear; Jerry is taking care of it. But also, your help went way beyond legal or financial advice. Your staff provided us with objective and compassionate direction concerning mom’s continuing health issues. For example, how to look for assistance, what to do next as her dementia worsen and I can go on and on with many other examples. It was never a problem to ask advice or direction from you or your staff. Many people have lawyers who can do the law, but mom had a lawyer who cared about her as a person, and for this we all thank you. In closing Jerry when we started out on this long journey we know nothing about how to care for my mother. With your help and guidance we kept our promise to keep mom in her home as long as possible. This was her only wish. You and your staff made this possible. I can say without hesitation you are the best investment I ever made!! Thank you again, we will not forget.
