Judith Grimaldi highly recommended

Having witnessed the difference that elder-law attorneys made in the lives of our parents, we did not need to be convinced that we would seek assistance from a highly recommended elder-law attorney when our time arrived. We recently sought the assistance of Judith Grimaldi, who had been highly reco...mmended. Judith Grimaldi and her staff were ethical, compassionate, and very accessible. With updated end-of-life documents completed, we are grateful for the recommendation that directed us to Judith Grimaldi and we enthusiastically recommend her to others.

I would recommend Attorney Grimaldi without hesitation

I would recommend attorney grimaldi without hesitation. She has incredible knowledge and understanding of all aspects of elder law and estate planning. She was readily available to answer all of my questions which arose during the process, in a timely fashion. She was sensitive and compassionate i...n helping my elderly mother in law and us during a difficult transition in her/our lives

Amazing attorney!

We hired Judy to help us get 24 hour care for my Mom. Our calls and letters to her MLTC provider did not result in anything so I sought an assistance of an attorney. My brother who was initially very skeptical has completely changed his opinion after the initial consultation with Judy where she clea...rly explained the challenges we faced, the course of action she planned to take and possible outcomes. She was with us 200%. She is skillful, thoughtful, professional and compassionate. After less than two months, we received 24 hour care. Judy was recommended to me by someone who also had issues with elder care for her parent and whenever someone asks for an attorney to represent elder patients, I strongly recommend Judy. We got the result we wanted at the cost that Judy estimated, no unpleasant surprises.

Warm Wise Advocates Who Made A Profound Difference

Ms. Grimaldi and her team, especially Naomi Levin, offered me so much wise guidance and warm support as I worked to set up Medicaid for my ex-husband and to provide for his care once he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. As his condition deteriorated, they always found time to respond with a... phone call or an email, even during off-hours or weekends. They were remarkable advocates and they made a profound difference during very difficult days. I am so grateful to them.

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.
