Leo is a wonderful attorney!

We had an Estate/Medicaid Planning consultation with Leo. My parents are moving from NY to PA, and I needed an attorney who is licensed in both states, and knowledgeable Estate Planning, Elder Law, And Waiver Program Regulations in Pennsylvania. Leo was able recommend several viable options for my pa...rents, and without his guidance I would have been lost. Leo is very detail oriented, and takes his time to explore all possible options. He really cares about his clients, and his friendly demeanor shows it. Another plus for us is that Leo has 2 office locations in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and Feasterville, PA. We had meetings with him at both locations, which his office coordinated for us. We highly recommend Leo for Estate Planning, Elder Law, and exploring home care options available to seniors (waiver program). We thank you for all your help.

Estate Planning

Leo was very knowledgeable and helpful with my parents’ estate planning, including Medicaid/Medicare. He provided many suggestions and solutions to our specific needs. He was responsive to any questions and concerns in timely manner. Thank you Leo!

Excellent Estate Planning and Medicaid Attorney.

My elderly parents decided to move from Brooklyn to Philadelphia area for their retirement. We were referred by our friends to speak to an Medicaid and Estate Planning attorney, so we could understand about the difference in Medicare and Medicaid programs in NY and PA. Luckily for us, our attorney Le...o Mikityanskiy is licensed in both states in New York and Pennsylvania, and also has 2 offices which made it convenient to meet with him. During our initial meeting, we discussed different options for my parents regarding Trusts, Special Needs Trusts, Medicaid and Waiver Program Eligibility in Pennsylvania. The rules vary quite a bit between the states and Leos knowledge was remarkable in order for us to understand how the move will impact their healthcare and Medicaid. Leo set up a complete package for us: a Medicaid Trust, along with power of attorney and healthcare proxies. Throughout all of our four meetings, Leo was extremely knowledgeable, diligent and patient with our countless questions and concerns. We highly recommend Leo Mikityanskiy for Medicaid Planning and Eligibility issues and questions.

Honest and Professional Attorney.

Leo was highly recommended to me by a friend, who has been working with Leo for over 5 years. My mother recieved a settlement from a automobile accident. Since she is recieving Medicaid, she was required to set up a Special Needs Trust. Leo recieved all the necessary approvals, and filed a court peti...tion. During the entire process Leo and his office kept us up-to-date on the process. They also helped to set us up with a non profit trust company, for the SNT. I highly recommend Leo.

Posted by Jane S. | June 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Medicaid & Medicare

Professional and knowledgeable Attorney

My family hired Leo to represent us for an investigation by Department of human services, for my elderly parents who are recieving Medicaid benefits, and were in danger of loosing them. With Leo's professional help and guidance through a long and grueling process by DHS, all the claims were resolved,... and they were able to keep receiving Medicaid and home care services. Thank you Leo, for helping my parents. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for help and guidance in dealing with Social Security Administratoin and DHS.
