Expertise and Care!

Jennifer and her firm executed estate planning documents for my mother. I was incredibly thankful for Jennifer's expertise. She effectively counseled my mother on the importance of getting these completed and how best they should be structured to support my mother's current needs and future. The d...ocument turn around was swift and the customer service was great. I would highly recommend Jennifer Ghorley.

From Hesitation to Gratitude

When I first reached out to Hurley Elder Care Law, it was shortly after our mother had her stroke, and I was seeking guidance on the Medicaid application process. I hesitated to sign up initially due to concerns about the cost. However, it soon became clear that our mother wouldn't be able to return ...home independently or even with home healthcare; she would require round-the-clock nursing home care. This realization prompted me to schedule a consultation with Hurley Law. I had also approached a competing firm, but I was put off by their aggressive sales tactics and constant phone calls and texts. Their one-size-fits-all package didn’t even provide an opportunity to meet with an attorney, which reinforced my decision to turn to Hurley Law for assistance. During my initial meeting with Jennifer Ghorley at Hurley Law, my primary goal was to secure Medicaid for my mother and protect her limited assets. Jennifer informed me that a social worker from their firm would be assigned to my mother’s case. Initially, I didn’t think much of it, assuming we would only need her to notarize documents. However, as I worked with Hurley, the quality of care at my mother’s current nursing home began to deteriorate rapidly. I learned that we had a very narrow window to move my mother to a new facility before starting the Medicaid application—only two weeks, which isn’t much time when dealing with the complexities of transferring a loved one. Kelsie Scott, the social worker assigned to my mother’s case, was incredibly responsive. She obtained the necessary referral from the current facility within 24 hours of my request for help. Kelsie remained in constant communication with both the current nursing home and the new facility. Within seven days, everything was confirmed, and by the eighth day, my mother was comfortably settled into a much better environment. I truly believe that without Kelsie’s intervention, my mother would still be stuck in a facility that wasn’t meeting her needs. Additionally, Paul Abrahamson at Hurley Law provided valuable insights regarding the financial aspects to the new facility’s director. His support has been instrumental throughout this process. Originally, the focus was solely on securing Medicaid and safeguarding my mother’s limited assets. However, what I came to realize through working with Hurley Elder Care Law was the immense benefit of having a dedicated social worker. Kelsie achieved what my brother and I had struggled to accomplish. I also want to mention her compassion and patience when our mother had to sign several legal documents. This is something that can’t be taught, no matter how much training someone has. Not only did she put our mother at ease, but she also reassured both my brother and me. Every dime I spent on Hurley Law was worth it for the exceptional service Kelsie Scott provided for our mother. I’m not sure my words can fully express how my siblings and I feel about what she was able to accomplish in just a few days—things that three educated, middle-aged adult children weren’t able to do over the course of several weeks. We had given up on the idea of moving our mother until she was approved for Medicaid, which could have taken 2-3 months. When Kelsie Scott said it was possible, my exact words to her were, "We’re going to make this happen!" And we did! Kelsie is truly a treasure for Hurley Elder Care Law and should be recognized and compensated for her exceptional work.
