Perfect Elder Law Firm!

Working with you and Lisa was far more than just a positive experience - it was an absolute lifesaver for our family. Rick and I truly couldn't have found a better law firm to guide us through such a complex and challenging Medicaid process. We are incredibly grateful for your expertise, compassion, ...and support, and we'll be quick to recommend your firm to others whenever we can. Navigating the Medicaid process for a loved one entering a nursing home can be overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. When my brother Rick and I faced this daunting situation with our mom, we made the best decision by contacting the Falcone Law Firm. Medicaid eligibility, especially for nursing home care, involves an extensive five-year review of nearly every financial detail of the applicant's life. It's not something you want to tackle without experienced guidance. Fortunately, Mr. Anthony Falcone and his outstanding Medicaid Paralegal, Lisa, were by our side every step of the way. Lisa's attention to detail and responsiveness were incredible. Nearly every time I checked my inbox, there was either a prompt, thoughtful answer to my questions, or a detailed next step to help keep us on track. If I ever needed to speak with her directly, she was always available and willing to assist. Thanks to the diligence and support of the Falcone Law Firm, our mother was approved for Medicaid and is now comfortably settled in the nursing home of our choice. We're deeply grateful for the professionalism, care, and clarity provided throughout this complex process. Without their help, we would have been lost in the paperwork and procedures. Instead, we moved forward with confidence and peace of mind. I highly recommend the Falcone Law Firm to anyone facing similar challenges, and I personally plan to retain Mr. Falcone in the near future to review and update my own Will and Trusts. Sincerely, Robert D.

Anthony and his firm was by far the best decision we made!!

Anthony Falcone was referred to me by an attorney I know very well . We needed an Attorney that would be able to get Medicaid approved for our mom who was battling dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Upon my first meeting with Anthony , he explained everything to us in detail and assured me, this would... get done. Within 3 months we were fully approved, needless to say we were extremely impressed. Thank you Anthony and Lisa for making sure this was a stressless smooth experience. We look forward to working with you again The Sicurella family

Guardianship for elderly parent

We retained Anthony to help us expand the powers of an existing Guardianship we have for our elderly mother who suffers from advanced Alheimer's. Anthony quickly filed all the necessary papers with the Court and attended all scheduled hearings on our behalf. Although the Court was initially sceptica...l of our request, Anthony worked hard to convince the Court of the merits of our request. Thanks to Anthony, we now have the expanded powers needed to properly care for our mother. Throughout the process, Anthony maintained excellent communication, answered all our questions, and provided sound legal advice!

Restored my faith in Lawyers

Just the thought of having to speak to a lawyer would give me anxiety. I dreaded the process of Estate Planning and trusts and therefore, I procrastinated. But Anthony changed all of that. Not only was he very knowledgeable in this area, but he was very friendly and patient. He took the time to e...xplain the process in terms that were understandable. He guided us through each detail and made the process go through quick and smoothly. He didn't let any questions go unanswered. He returned every call in a timely manner and never made you feel rushed or uncomfortable. I highly recommend Anthony Falcone for all your Estate planning, trusts and elder care.
