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.

Exploiter of the Elderly

Ms Grimaldi handled the Medicaid application for my elderly parent. Her fee was equivalent to an entire year's worth of my mom's social security benefits -- to file a simple application. She convinced us that we needed her and how her firm could do what no one else could. In speaking to someone at th...e Medicaid office, I learned that there were things Ms Grimaldi neglected to inform us, namely that they make their determination based on my mother's doctor's report, not any document generated by the lawyer and that the application could have been processed for free, had we done it directly with Medicaid. I would never recommend anyone who exploits the elderly in such an egregious way.

I am saddened to read this review as our firm has always strived to help our clients achieve their goals. Applying for Medicaid can be a complex process which involves financial assessments, medical evaluations and advice and direction to insure the elder gets the very best level of care. Of course any individual can choose to submit their application for Medicaid without the help of an attorney, what we offer as a value added is service and efficiency to move the process along. This can be very valuable to a busy family who is caring for an elder and does not have the time to deal with the Medicaid application process. We welcome hearing from our clients to learn how we can better serve the needs of the elderly in our community as well as their family caregivers.
