A Lawyer For The Common Man

When my mom had a stroke, and unfortunately due to her diabetes needed to be moved full time to a nursing home, I needed to qualify her for Medicaid, as the cost of proper care is prohibitive. Myrna Fawcett and her team at Fawcett & Fawcett Law did an outstanding job, helping to reallocate my mom's a...ssets and we were able to quickly qualify her for Medicaid benefits. It would be almost impossible for the typical person to get through this process in such a short period of time. Their experience and expertise in dealing with these matters was a godsend for my brother and I. We owe a debt of gratitude to Ms.Fawcett and her team for making this happen in such a timely fashion. Durning this time of great duress for us they helped accomplish everything needed for us as a family. I'd highly recommend Ms. Fawcett to anyone facing a similar situation such as ours.
