Robert S Bullock

We had a perfect experience with Robert Bullock and Abigail Wolf from ELDC. Let me tell you how I got there. It started in the overcrowded sitting room of another local elder care law firm… I was the youngest person in the room by 30-40 years, and I was in the room for totally different reasons th...an everyone else. They were there to learn how to manage your retirement funds so that when it’s time for you to move into assisted living or a nursing home, you can get Medicaid to pay for your bed. I was there to figure out what I needed to know and do in order to ensure that if, God forbid, something should happen to my wife and me, our son with special needs (he has a profound physical disability with no cognitive impairment) would be properly taken care of (e.g. medical, nursing, caregiver support, college, spending money, etc). My ideal scenario was to wrap up all of our resources (financial accounts, retirement, possessions, life insurances) in a tidy way such that a legal “key” could immediately convey to whomever we designated as our son’s caregivers...with no interruptions whatsoever to his high level of medical support. I didn’t learn much about my particular situation from that session (though it was very informative if you want to figure out how to keep your retired husband from buying that pool he always wanted after you’re gone, or from spending your grandchildren’s inheritance with the new pool girl that came with the pool!), and I began to sense that I needed to find a specialist with personal experience in special needs. Enter Robert Bullock. Recommended by a friend of my son’s physical therapist, Robert has a lifetime of experience in legal matters related to all areas of special needs. Because of our son’s medical needs, my wife and I have trouble getting out of the house. Robert easily accommodated this need via a meeting over video teleconference. He also immediately understood our goals and motivation and began helping us understand the process we would need to walk through in order to make that vision a reality. He was very generous with his time and with dispensing timely insights that were helpful for a young couple still starting out on our journey with our son’s special needs. When Robert directed that our case be handled by his colleague Abigail Wolf, we wondered what it would be like to work with her. She did not disappoint! Efficient and comprehensive, Abigail struck a perfect balance between giving us the space we needed to work through the sometimes extensive paperwork we needed to fill out (something which can be tricky to find time to do, when you’re juggling a lot of home healthcare needs) and helping us stay on track with working towards our goal of getting it all squared away before the end of the year (mostly by checking in periodically to see if we needed any assistance). When all was said and done, we had completed wills, Advanced Medical Directorives, and Power of Attorney documents for both my wife and me, as well as a Family Trust for our family and a Special Needs Trust for our son. All of these are precisely configured to ensure that, if something happens to both of us, all our financial resources will be at the disposal of our son’s caregivers. When the time came to finalize the documents, Abigail took care of everything. We reviewed and signed everything in our own home, with the help of a courteous and efficient notary (also scheduled by Abigail). Overall, our experience with Robert Bullock, Abigail Wolf, and ELDC was like eating at a five-star restaurant, i.e. everything we hoped it would be and more. I heartily recommend ELDC to anyone needing legal services related to financial documents for elder or disability care---especially special needs families!

Robert is an excellent attorney. I have known him for years. When I hired him this year to help with a legal matter involving an elderly client of mine, he was quick to respond, insightful, and provided strategic and basic advice for all of the problems with which my colleague and I were dealing. ...His fees were reasonable and his staff was responsive. I would recommend Robert and The Elder & Disability Law Center to anyone who is in need of an elder law attorney.

Finding out that my father was a victim of elderly abuse was a shock. Not knowing anyone in the DC area that could help with this type of problem didn't help. After doing in depth research, I decided to contact Attorney Robert Bullock, owner of The Elder & Disability Law Center. He had the credential...s, experience and team I needed to correct my father's situation. When I made the call to the office, I briefly explained what had happened to the person who answered the phone and Robert was called from a meeting to talk to me. Robert understood the concern and urgency that was needed and agreed to meet with us on the weekend. The meeting was very informative and a plan was put into place to help protect my father. Robert and his team were very diligent and organized in implementing this plan. He and his team were always available to answer questions and I was kept inform of every move that had to be made. Robert was always there to help make decisions and to keep the emotions in check. This experience was like watching a "60 Minutes"episode. It involved an elderly man in the beginning stage of memory loss being exploited by a female friend. The Elder & Disability Law Center did what was necessary in order to get my father's life back. Robert Bullock and his team are to be commended for a job well done. If you have a situation arise like my fathers, you need to make the call to Robert Bullock and check out our options. My father's son.

As a Geriatric Care Manager it is important for me to be help guide my clients in making the correct choices for the care and comfort of their loved ones. Because of that I do my best to ensure that anyone I advise my clients to consider putting their trust in, whether it is an Assisted Care Facility..., home health aide, live-in help or even a lawyer, are people or organizations I trust. That being said I have found that when it comes to the legal needs of my clients I have nothing but the utmost trust in Robert Bullock and his team at The Elder & Disability Law Center. Robert and his team have been assisting my clients for many years now and have been beyond professional, caring and always expeditious in their legal assistance in satisfying the needs of my clients. Because of this trust I have in Robert and his team at EDLC, I recently asked them to help with some personal legal needs of my own. Although I advise my clients of the importance of having the appropriate legal medical documents, my husband and I had not done this yet so we enlisted the help of Robert and his staff. Their ability to have the documents created and sent to us in a reasonable time and have the changes we needed addressed in an efficient manner was a testament to the work ethic and the professionalism of this group. The personal care and attention that Abby and Rachel gave to us was nothing short of above and beyond what one would expect from a law firm. It is not often that you hear someone talk about how much they love a lawyer but in the case of Robert Bullock and all of the people that work at the EDLC it is the truth. They honestly love what they do and it shows in how much they truly care for their clients. As I said before, not only do I trust Robert and the team at The Elder & Disability Law Center with my own needs but I also have complete trust that they will satisfy my client's needs in a professional and caring manner giving my clients peace of mind and one less thing they have to worry about while working to care for their loved one(s).

I have known Robert Bullock as one of the premier elder care lawyers in the Washington DC area for nearly a decade. He was my reliable go-to lawyer for senior questions when I was Resident Director of a local continuing care facility. And I went to him when my husband and I needed a coordinated esta...te plan, trust and will set up to take us into our own elder years. He and his associates know the law, and know seniors, which is a rare combination, and provide superb advice , assistance, and preparation. They are courteous and respectful in interviews and personal sessions, but always professional in asking questions that need to be asked, and in helping direct their clients to the solutions and estate plans that fit the clients’ personal needs.
