Mary Jo Broussard Speier

I found a recommendation for Mary Jo Broussard Speier on our neighborhood listerv. My husband and I needed a revocable trust, a will, and a power of attorney. I'm not sure how complicated our situation was, but, nonetheless, it was fraught with familial issues that we wanted handled delicately but ...expediously. Mary Jo was beyond patient with our hesitations, our lack of experience, and our overall wishes to cover as many, if not all, contingencies. We were accorded the kind of respect and understanding I'd want from any professional. She set the bar much higher than any other lawyer I've dealt with. I trust her skill and legal wherewithall and absolutely appreciate her gentle interactive style.

Mary Jo is obviously highly knowledgeable in the elder care field. I sought advice on a Medicaid related issue, and she handled my inquiry promptly, efficiently and with sensitivity and candor. I happen to be an out-of-state practicing attorney, with no knowledge of elder care law. I couldn't have... been more satisfied with the service she rendered to me, and plan to retain her.

Mary Jo is an essential partner for me. She helps and advises on eldercare for my mother, who has dementia/Alzheimer's. Mary Jo is responsive, intuitive, and strategic, and has broad and deep legal skills and understanding of eldercare issues, which can be overwhelming and terrifying for families de...aling with ongoing disability from dementia. Her personal, thoughtful approach makes you feel like you're her only client. I'm very lucky to have her help.

My mother suffered a fall and was not able to fully walk on her own again. She was unable to participate in rehabilitation due to her progressing struggle with dementia. It was a very difficult decision but I had to put my mother into a long term care facility. I worked with the benefits coordinat...or at the nursing home to fill out the financial aid application and provide the five years of support documentation that was required. The application was rejected and I was given a very long complicated list of additional requirements and not a lot of time to provide the information. I was in a total panic. I needed a lawyer to help navigate the complicated application process to qualify for financial aid. I took a chance went online and thank the heavens I came across the name Mary Jo Broussard Speier. I was able to get an appointment quickly and met with Mary Jo to review all the challenges I was having with the application process. Mary Jo is very knowledgeable about the financial application process. She is organized, detail oriented and most importantly very patient. Mary Jo worked down the complicated list I had and was able to pull together the needed information. She provided an organized detailed packet to include with the re-submitted application. In the end our application was accepted and my mother was able to remain in the long term care facility and is receiving the care she needs. I am very happy I was able to find and work with Mary Jo. I highly recommend her and continue to retainer her services as we had to reapply for 2016 coverage.
