Medicaid Application and Wills

Ms. Watson is intelligent, knowledgeable in the field of elder law, and has a pleasant personality. She is available by telephone, answers e-mail promptly and accepts electronic documents. Ms. Watson was careful to ask me to provide information a little at the time, which kept me from being overwhe...lmed by the very involved Medicaid application process. As a courtesy to me, she provided ways to send her the volumes of required information so that I did not have an hour's drive to get it to her. She accomplished each task with expertise.. She met with the Medicaid representative and overcame each obstacle. She drew up a complete will for me and helped me with related items. Her fee is reasonable and well worth it because of the money she saved me and the mental anguish she alleviated.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
