James Kerins Review

We engaged the Firm initially to draft a Will, Family Trust, Power of Atty., etc. Several years later, the Firm successfully processed our app. for Community Medicaid for Kerrie Greene Tubridy. Finally the Firm successfully processed our app. for Chronic Medicaid. Kerrie now resides in a highly-ra...ted care facility, Archcare Ferncliff in Rhinebeck, NY.

James Kerins

I hired James to apply for Medicaid for my Mom after having a nightmare experience with another attorney. He was wonderful. Extremely efficient, addressed all my questions and concerns and made the process painless. Thank you so much.

Community Medicaid conversion to full Medicaid

My husband and I went through a very difficult time with my aging fathers affairs after he had fallen and his dementia progressed rapidly. We needed to protect his assets and apply for Medicaid. We retained James for over 2 years to assist us. During this time he was always there for us answering c...ountless questions by way of telephone calls and emails and always had a solution as to what would be in his best interest. He guided us through mountains of paper work and obtaining information necessary to complete this lengthy process. He did it always with patience, knowledge and compassion. We could have never done this without his help and are very appreciative.

James Kerins completely handled all aspects of getting my parents into the medicaid system with compassion, sincerity, and with the up most competence and professionalism. He continues to guide us through the complicated steps of protecting their assets by helping us to get all of the right documents... to the right agencies on our behalf. He is attentive and always prompt to answer any questions we have.His work, process, and advice have been absolutely stellar.

  • 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.
