Jerold Rothkoff, Esq.

We worked with Mr. Rothkoff and his staff for 3 years. Valuable information was provided quickly whenever we called - information about programs for the elderly was provided in a concise and understandable manner. Response to our inquiries was provided in 24 hours or less. We would definitely refe...r friends to this firm.

Steadfast Elder Care Attorney

From the first day we met Jerry regarding our parents elder care needs he and his wonderful staff have always been attentive to our needs and the needs of our parents.He assigned an associate to handle our parents assisted living needs and she updated us monthly on any issues she thought were importa...nt. He also assigned another associate to handle our V.A. claim which took three years to finalize due to the V.A.'s terribly slow process .Finally, Jerry helped structure the family's estate by introducing us to a very good financial planner who was able to consolidate our parents assets into a trust which allowed us to pay for there remaining health and funeral expenses.

Just another greedy lawyer

Jerry Rothkoff did an Life Care Plan plan for my father. I gave him a $10,000 down payment and my father went into hospice one month later. He was slow returning my calls. For one month of minimal service he charged me $4,750!!!!!! After he told me he would be fair with a refund if my father passed a...way soon rather than later.

Maria, i regret your were disappointed by our services provided. Our elder law team assisted you and your family for two months. During this time frame, our office spent over 15 hours of our time on behalf of your late father, not including a two hour initial consultation. Even though our fee agreement authorized our office to retain the fees paid, as a courtesy to your family, we refunded the majority of the legal fee paid. We always attempt to work with our client's family given the emotional issues we deal with. Even though you expressed your displeasure with our services two years after our services have ended, you are welcome to contact our office and I would be happy to discuss our fees with you. Jerry Rothkoff

Unqualified and misleading staff

We were referred by Camden County Department of Senior Services following a request for elder care attorney in Cherry Hill. Upon confirming our appointment, the staff disclosed the initial consultation fee and stated that the final fee for services would be presented in the form of an a la carte menu... of services tailored to our specific case, of which our initial fee would be applied. During our initial discussion with Jerold, he announced that "our specific case" would require only his full menu of services and that there would be no possibility of selecting specific services that could be offered. He then apologized for the lie his staff told us and demanded his $400 fee. During our consultation, he elaborated on the recent double suicide of a senior couple in Marlton, NJ who had been his clients for the past five years. He stated that this outcome, was a successful representation of his holistic approach to elder care through his firm. We found this story bizarre and we found him to be arrogant, obnoxious and not willing to disclose any advice or a path forward for our situation.
