Elisha Wellerstein

A true professional and an expert in his field, Elisha has been patient and thorough not only during the process, but even after – always within reach and quick to provide his guidance and support.

Elisha was truly a lifesaver during the most difficult time of my life!! Not only did he so professionally guide me through the medicaid process, the estate process, and more, he did all of that with a manner and caring that made him feel more like an old friend!!! I cannot recommend him anymore highly. I am extremely grateful to him!!!

We were introduced to Elisha through the ALS Association, when a dear friend was diagnosed and it became clear that she would require extensive care for the long term. The situation was exacerbated when Linda was put on a ventilator. Our main concern was to get Linda home with 24 hour attendance. Elisha helped us navigate the system to obtain the care Linda required and also to deal with a somewhat complex financial situation. He helped us establish a health care proxy, power of attorney, and trusts. We were moved by Elisha's willingness to make visits to the hospital and to Linda's home as necessary and his accessibility to answer questions that arose as Linda's health declined. He continues to help us navigate issues relating to the estate. Now that Linda has passed, we are much relieved to see that Elisha's advice has been so effective. His compassion and dedication to assisting clients with such extensive needs is truly admirable.

My family and I were living overseas before my husband was shockingly diagnosed with ALS/FTD . Moving back to the US to seek better medical attention, we became desperate for help. We didn’t know how the US healthcare system works and we didn’t know who to talk to. In a stroke of luck, we came across Elisha’s name through the ALS New York Association website He was hosting a lecture about Medicare and Medicaid for people with disabilities. We immediately reached out to Elisha, who jumped right into our situation. He knew exactly what we needed to do, and he guided us throughout the process in a compassionate, understanding and comforting way. Elisha was always available to contact in case of any questions, and made sure that our questions were answered. Elisha was respectful and sensitive to our situation, all while being assertive in the best way possible, knowing exactly what we needed to do given our very unique circumstances. Unlike many other attorneys who distance themselves from their client and their situation, Elisha is very personal and empathetic to each of his clients. We trust Elisha completely. We could tell as soon as we started working with Elisha that he truly cares about his clients and wants to help to the best of his ability. We are so grateful that Elisha was there for us, and we would recommend anyone to use Elisha as we did. M-H Dowell

Elisha Wellerstein did a wonderful job of helping my family. He is very knowledgeable about elder care and explained everything thoughtfully. He is also a compassionate human being! He was very considerate to visit my brother while he was in a skilled nursing facility. I would highly recommend him.

Elisha was very helpful and compassionate. Without his help, my Fiancé and I would be lost. He is knowledgeable, very hands on, he actively communicated with us in a clear way, and followed up with us to make sure everything has been running smoothly. He is not only a great lawyer but a good human being, which is something all of us need when dealing with difficult situations.

He was very knowledgeable in answering our questions and in doing all the paperwork for setting up our family trust. Every time I sent an email I received a timely response. I highly recommend him. His prices were fair for the services.

Attorney Elisha Wellerstein came highly recommended and he lived up to the expectations. He was instrumental in assisting my mother and our family during a very difficult time. We consider him more like a knowledgable member of the family than a lawyer--but he is an excellent lawyer!

Elisha is very knowledgeable and was very helpful for me and my family in our complex situation. Without Elisha, we would have been lost. He was very hands on, he actively communicated with us in a clear way, and followed up with us to make sure everything has been running smoothly. He had empathy and compassion for our situation, and he had particularly good judgement in choosing the best solutions possible. We are very grateful that we found Elisha, and we would recommend him to anyone.

Elisha, is great at being able to diagnose the issue and provide advice only for what is necessary. He was able to connect with other professionals on our team and explain complex concepts so that simple people can understand. Highly recommended.

Elisha Wellerstein is amazingly helpful! We didn’t know what we were going to do to help out our grandmother. We had tried in the past to obtain Medicaid but we got lost in the process. Elisha made it so easy to navigate. He came to our house and sat with us. He reviewed our entire file of paperwork and guaranteed that he would help us every step of the way, and he did! He walked us through the entire process for Medicaid and was able to help our grandmother the care she needed. We cannot thank him enough!

During the end of our father's journey, Mr. Wellerstein made a world of difference in helping us navigate through such an emotional and stressful period of our time. Mr. Wellerstein's years of experience in elder law was apparent in the way he guided us and our father through the process. He is not only knowledgeable, but also accessible, thoughtful, patient, diligent, warm, and compassionate. His response was always honest, informed, and prompt. In working with Mr. Wellerstein, it is apparent that he truly loves what he does for a living. We lucked out when we hired Mr. Wellerstein as our elder law attorney.

My experience with Elisha was incredible. He helped my family set up a trust, as well as wills, POA, etc., and he was great all the way through. He was always attentive, prompt with calling back, took time to explain things in lay terms and to answer all the many questions we had, as well as coordinating with other parties that were sometimes hard to wrangle. He kept at it and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend him to a friend or use his services again.

Elisha is a great resource for anything you need, above and beyond law. He is very personable and always gets back to us right away. We highly recommend him. He is a great person and goes above and beyond.

Elisha is an amazing lawyer. Set up a trust fund, wrote up my pre-nup (which eventually stood up in court. In addition he always follows up to make sure things are still running smoothly! Good heart, good man. Been my lawyer for 5 years now
