Helped Save Our Home

I can not say enough good things about Sean and Gina. My husband reached out for help regarding our options for keeping my Grandmother’s house in our family. She was in a nursing home for what was supposed to be short-term skilled nursing but ended up needing to use Medicaid long-term benefits when h...er Medicare/AARP benefits were exhausted. She was reluctant to do this because of estate recovery since her home was really the only asset she had. We met with Sean and Gina and Sean proposed that we transfer the home to her son per the Estate Recovery stipulation that a home can be transferred to a disabled child and therefore become exempt from estate recovery. My family was extremely grateful to learn about this option. Sean also prepared a POA for my Grandmother to appoint me and they traveled to the nursing home for her to sign. I think we were given the best advice for our situation. We really appreciate the fair and unbiased advice we’ve been given from a professional who is clearly very knowledgeable in his practice. Our situation felt frustrating and overwhelming so to work with a team as competent, kind, and accommodating as Sean and Gina made everything so much easier.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
