A very good attorney and compassionate human being!

Andrew consulted with with first via phone and then in person, free of charge. He drew up a flowchart of how to proceed to get my Mother Medicaid and into a nursing home. I trusted him and followed his instructions to a tee! He charged just one flat fee. No hidden fees. I was never intimidated to cal...l him! Thanks to Andrew, my Mom got into a facility. I highly recommend him. He is a "real person", not a typical condescending attorney! Thank -you, Andrew!

elder law representation

I hired Andrew when my mom’s managed long term care agency denied additional hours of home health care that she needed due to worsening health. He successfully represented her interests at the fair hearings which reversed the denial of additional hours so that she now receives the necessary amount of... home health care. My mom also had hired Andrew several years ago when she needed to update her power of attorney and healthcare proxy, as well as to establish a family trust so that she would be able to remain at home rather than go into a nursing home if she ever needed home health care. A few years later she needed home health care and Andrew processed her Medicaid application. We were fortunate to have had his legal counsel and representation.

terrible

We paid this lawyer $8,000 to help us get medicaid for our mother and then he wanted another $4,000 for him to help us for our father. What a rip-off! We did the work, searching and coping, He did NOTHING! We gave him copies of everyone piece of paper my parents had and he lost some of them. He is te...rrible, lazy and if we could we would sue him to get at least some of our money back!

Great legal advice for my grandparents

My grandparents have a sizable amount of assets and I wanted to get them started with planning on what to do with them once the dreaded moment comes . A friend recommended that I try Atty. Lamkin's free online consultation first so I'll know if he's the right lawyer for us. I was impressed the first ...time because he explained all about estate planning and how our family can benefit from it in the long run. I know granddad has property in another state; so I'm glad we consulted Atty. Lamkin. Things might have been more complicated and even stressful had we not hired him. Granddad has been experiencing some medical issues right now, but he has an estate plan ready as well as a Power of Attorney in place. Although yes, the fees can be costly - but it's an investment. And my family understands that. For other legal concerns we might have in the future, we'll definitely ask his help again.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"While I only met Andrew in 2014, he has already made quite the impression. Positioned in an excellent location in Plainview, my hometown, Andrew amazingly taught me more about Estate Law and Elder Law than I thought I could have ever learned. With that knowledge, I learned the importance of what he does and why everyone who has any assets should absolutely be consulting with him. He is smart, friendly and professional; a rare combination in the legal community when dealing with clientele discussing what happens if they pass away. Andrew instills trust right off the bat, and in his practice, clients need to trust the attorney drafting their will. I absolutely endorse and recommend Andrew to the masses, as his services should be accessed by any and all living, breathing individuals."

"I endorse this lawyer. Over the period of time that I have worked with Andrew Lamkin, my personal and professional oinion of him could not be higher. Not only have I been happy to refer clients to Mr. Lamkin but Mr. Lamkin is also currently handling a case for me personally as Power of Attorney/Trustee for a family member. Mr. Lamkin's knowledge of Elder Law and Estate planning is far superior to any Elder Law attorney to whom I have referred clients in the past. Mr. Lamkin is knowledgable, patient and an "out of the box" thinker who works diligently to seek the best possible options for his clients. I offer the highest endorsement to Andrew Lamkin."
