Help with sale of house

Ms. Elefante was instrumental as our attorney in the closing on the sale of my parents' house. Rose made sure we had gathered all documents needed, explained things clearly during the closing and had a very good rapport with the buyer's attorney, enabling the whole process to be completed in an effic...ient & professional manner. We were all very pleased with her services.

Rose helped our family out during crisis. She established a Trust and a will for both of my parents. At the time I consulted with her, both of my parents were hospitalized and I did not have a clue what I needed to do. Rose walked me through the process! When my father was released from the hospit...al and put in a rehab facility, she came to the rehab facility as my father was unable to come to her. Rose was kind, patient and caring throughout this process and thoroughly explained what was in the best interest to our families needs. I HIGHLY recommend Rose as an elder care attorney.

Rose Elephante Review

I hired Rose for my first case in 2011. Rose worked to get my Mother on Medicaid. My Mother required to be cared for in a nursing home. I would not have been able to complete this task on my own. It was very complicated and Rose did an outstanding job. My experience with Rose is like going to a frien...d or family. Rose was able to protect my home by setting up a trust. I also had to have power of attorney and healthcare proxy set up for myself and for my Father to care for my Mother. I had the same documents completed in the event I would need to care for my Father.Rose helped to draw up a will for myself and a will for my Father. When my Mother passed away, Rose attended the funeral. In 2015 I put my home on the market and Rose referred my to a real estate lawyer who was excellent .Rose advised me as well in the process. Again in 2015 I hired Rose now for my Father who became very ill. My Father required to receive Medicaid and she successfully got him approved. He has a different situation than my Mother and he can stay home, so Rose was able to guide me through that complicated process as well. Rose helped to set up another type of trust for him. In 2016 my Father was hit by a car and injured, I turned to Rose and she referred us to an accident lawyer who also is excellent. Rose continues to check in with me and I can contact her at anytime for any advise. Rose is the best.
