This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommended!

My wife and I hired Dana for doing her parents' wills and helping with them applying for Medicaid when needed, which we found was very difficult, but with Dana's caring, calm and pleasant manner she made it so much easier. She usually answers her own phone when you call her (which is very unusual tod...ay) or gets back to you right away if she is able to. We spent many hours on the phone with Dana (evenings and weekends too!) working on all of the many questions that Medicaid had for us about my wife's parents’ finances and we were able to get my wife's father's Medicaid application approved the first time! (Her mother passed before she needed Medicaid.) My parents also applied for Medicaid but we were not able to get the application approved the first time which turned out to be a nightmare and their lawyer charged 3X the amount Dana charged! Dana is very reasonable! Wish I knew about her before my parents hired a different law firm! Dana is highly recommended!

Excellent for Special Needs Trusts

We used Dana to create a special-needs trust. Her guidance, empathy and services were exceptional. It continues to be a relief knowing that my brother-in-law has this trust -- as figuring all this out is overwhelming. I plan on using Dana for our wills next. She has such a calm, pleasant professional...ism and continues to be very responsive to our questions and concerns.

Awesome!

Dana is very dedicated and caring. I used her for my father’s will and Medicaid process, so thankful that I had her to get through the process. The Medicaid process is very difficult to say the least. I still reach out to her a year later with questions and she always gets back to me right away. I h...ighly recommend Dana Bookbinder.

Mrs.

I cannot imagine navigating theMedicaid maze without the assistance of DanaBookinder. Her professionalism, competence and empathy for our situation went above and beyong what I expected. My mother’s application was approved in record time. Contacting Dana on weekends, evenings and holidays was never ...a problem. She responded quickly and courteously.Fee for service was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend Dana Bookbinder to anyone is need of elder care law.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Dedicated and Knowledgeable

Dana is one of the best in the field of Elderlaw. She knows her specialty and presents it in such a way that other can truly understand. She is committed to being available to her clients as she recognizes how stressed they often are when stepping into the role of a caregiver. For over 10 years now,... I have counted on her to work with younger couples that have learned that their partner has a terrible early dementia. She supports women thrust into the world of financial management and especially in navigating through government entitlements like Medicaid and other benefits such as Veterans. She is a pleasure to work with as I know she is always looking out for those she serves.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
