Robert C. Gerhard III

My parents had a very complicated situation. My father was admitted to a long term care facility. Medicaid application was required. Due to the complication of parents situation, I could not complete this application on my own. My mom still required financial support from my Dad. As my Dad's POA, I... wanted to be assured the application and all documents were efficient and complete. Mr Robert Gerhard and his wonderful team truly helped me through this overwhelming process with a positive outcome for my Mom and Dad. We are truly grateful.

Mr Gerhard worked hard, knew exactly what needed to be done and worked quickly and accurately. If anyone needed Legal help in handling of an estate/wills or any other elder law issue, i would stongly recommend Mr. Gerhard. Mr. Gerhard is knowledgeable, and extremely responsive in all aspect of help...ing me through the managing of my mother estate.

We had a fantastic experience with Bob and his office. He helped us get through the state Medicaid requirements for a relative admitted to a nursing home and worked with him for over a year to complete this. He offered expert advice to us, kept us up to date on any recent changes in and interpretat...ions of the law and made the filing requirements an easy process. He also has a good network of professionals that he referred us to on peripheral issues related to our case. He billed us fairly with no unexpected or hidden charges - everything was transparent from day 1. We found Bob to be honest and extremely easy to work with - and a genuinely nice, down to earth person as well, which makes a big difference.. We have already recommended him to friends in the same situation and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone is search of an elder care lawyer.

My family and I had a complicated situation in organizing the affairs of aging parents, and in particular, one parent with advanced Alzheimer's. Mr Gerhard helped us wade through a number of options and ultimately assisted us to organize the Family Trust in a manageable manner for our Mother, and put... us on a path to ensure that financial, healthcare, and probate issues were in hand well before they could become a problem. Bob has a great ability to take complicated legal considerations and present them in a very understandable manner. He has a very kind and gentle manner in dealing with issues of family. His counsel, knowledge and very helpful hands-on approach were greatly appreciated.

My wife's mother was placed into a nursing home for dementia and after being housed there for 6 months, we were then informed of a newly instituted "Filial Responsibility Act" that was being enforced which required my wife and I to pay the difference of what Medicaid would cover. This amount was over... $35,000 and would have devastated my family financially. I found Mr. Gerhard through his web site, contacted him, and after our first meeting was informed of our options. He was not only very knowledgeable of this act, but was and expert in all facets of the law with elder care. He took charge of our affairs, negotiated with the State for the required hearings, as well as denials that were decided on against us. Having strong commitment to our case, he again refiled for an appeal, and presented our case to a higher authority and the state's legal department showing facts of the case that the state overlooked with their denial. After negotiations, we were found not liable for anything and Medicaid fully paid for our Mother's care. Having dealt with may legal matters over my lifetime with some attorney's that would have stopped with the original denial, Bob took it to the next level and succeeded with a positive outcome for our family. I am very happy with his dedication, caring manner, and strong knowledge of the system, procedures, and options. Please consider Bob for all your elder care matters.
