Gary Melamed

Gary assisted my family in preparing my mother for Medicaid benefits. He met with us and set up Power of Attorney, Irrevocable Trust, Pool Trust, Health Proxy and advised us on how to move assets to qualify for Medicaid. His knowledge, professionalism and concern were much appreciated and he follow...ed up with us while the red tape of a Medicaid application played out. Gary knows how to cut to the chase in order to get results and we would definitely recommend him for our future needs.

Gary was absolutely incredible to work with. I had a complex case having to negotiate with the city in an elder care situation. Gary made the whole process seem seamless and there was ever a stupid question. I reached out all the time for questions, advice, etc & he was always very patient with excel...lent response times. I would recommend him to anyone that needs legal assistance..

I had an issue how a revocable trust was formed and was denied a HELOC on the property that was a part of the trust. While the bank did provide the reason for denial, it was not clear as to where the actual issue was. I've called 3 attorneys and they told me that taking the property out of the trust... was my only option. Doing that was defeating the purpose as to why the trust was formed in the first place, but it seemed I had no choice. I've decided to call a few more attorneys just to find out what their rates were before deciding which attorney to hire. When I called Gary, explained what I wanted him to do and asked what his rates were, his response was - "I can certainly help you, but doing this does not make any sense to me." He asked me a good number of questions and in 5 minutes time he figured out the exact problem, explained what had to be done in order to resolve the issue AND keep the property in the trust. Needless to say, I hired Gary and am very happy I did that - the HELOC was approved yesterday and the property is still a part of the trust. If you need an attorney who will analyze the issue, come up with options and help you pick the one that works best for you - Gary is the attorney to go to, I highly recommend him.

When I an my family were going through the grieving process, due to the loss of my grandmother, and then father, 2 months later, Gary was the voice of reason. He has been there when it counted most as it relates to the legalities that come with kids and the heirs that are left to sort it all out. ...He helped us to make decisions paramount to how we as a family moved forward. He is professional, reasonably priced, fair, compassionate, knowledgable and a great person. If you are seeking someone to prepare you in the event of loss, or have lost someone and need a Will Probated, Letter of Administration and or any legal advice as to what your options are, I highly recommend you contact Gary, ASAP! You are the man Gary! I and my family thank you for all you have done and continue to do!
