Approachable, knowledgable, and caring
My husband and I went to see Ms. Lacey with some very specific questions regarding my mother's affairs. She was thorough in answering our questions, addressed issues that may arise in the future,and educated us about the eligibility requirements of Medicare and Medicaid. We walked out of our meeting...
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Lacey is very experienced and knowledgeable in the area of elder law. She is detailed oriented and client focused."
"My firm and I have worked with Ruthann on several cases going back more than 5 years on a variety of issues involving young persons who suffered terrible physical losses and needed financial planning and special needs trusts, etc. Ruthann takes the time to explain complicated legal issues to clients in such a way that they both understand the legal work to be done and feel very comfortable having Ruthann on their side. I recommend her without reservation."
"Ruthann provides excellent service to her clients and as a result, I have referred many of my clients to her who are in need of advice relating to elder law issues."
