Highly Professional Elder Law advocate

My Mother began working with Mr. Jacoby in 2009. He and his staff helped with every aspect of her long term care plans including appropriate health care directives, power of attorney, trust accounts and Medicaid Certification. Because of Mr. Jacoby’s knowledge of Florida Elder Law her Medicaid cer...tification was completed and approved within a few months. The Medicaid certification allowed her to immediately obtain critical home care and services through the Nursing Home Diversion program. Because of those services she was able to remain at home with her family for several years. Eventually, as her health declined, she moved into an Assisted Living facility, then Hospice care, and in early 2015 into a Nursing Home. We have worked with Mr. Jacoby and his knowledgeable staff since 2009. At each transition of care, David and his staff never failed to promptly assist us. Without their help we would have experienced many delays. Most recently, we experienced an issue which could have affected her care in the Nursing Home. Based on his contacts and experience this issue was resolved within twenty four hours. It has been a real pleasure working with Mr. Jacoby and his staff these past six years. I know I could not have done this without his help. He is a caring advocate for elder care.

David Jacoby Review Jan. 21 2016

Mr. Jacoby is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of properly planning for Medicaid. I worked with his team and my direct agent was Margot who is fantastic. My case was complex and had many components that all had to work before applying. After hiring Mr. Jacoby in early August we were re...ady to apply by Mid November. The application was so perfectly executed that the application was accepted in a few days and on DEC. 22 Margot called me to say that my mom was now covered by Medicaid. A marvelous Christmas Present indeed. If you are reading this do not hesitate in hiring Mr. Jacoby. It will be the best decision you could ever make in properly planning your parents care without wiping out their life savings. It was the best money I ever spent. I feel such peace of mind now and my mom is happy at her Long Term Care Facility. They treat their residents in a caring and respectful manner. I could not have accomplished this without Mr. Jacoby and Margot.

A Dedicated and Tireless Advocate

My parents became clients of David Jacoby in 2010 after attending a seminar that he conducted. He took care of wills, trusts and Medicaid planning for them, among other things. Mr. Jacoby is knowledgeable and dedicated. He has always responded quickly to both emails and phone calls and goes beyond... the call of duty to assist in whatever way he can. He is a kind man who truly cares about his clients. My parents have been through some difficult circumstances and I don't know how we would have managed without David Jacoby's help and support. He is an excellent attorney and has become a trusted friend. We would highly recommend his services to anyone.

Wonderful Attorney! Wonderful Staff!

We have received top notch treatment from David Jacoby and his staff. At first, we thought my sister-in-law would not qualify for Medicaid because she had too many assets and would have to spend it all in order to qualify. After the consultation, we gained a new perspective on the processes of Medica...id. The firm worked quickly, and efficiently while informing us every step of the way for the Medicaid Application. Before, there was a maze of mis-information and total confusion from other sources. Special thanks to Josh who assisted with the case from start to finish, couldn't have been able to do it without Mr. Jacoby and his staff! Now, my sister-in-law is getting financial assistance in a nursing home and his firm will take care of future re-certifications.

Overall rating of David Jacoby

In 2004, my father and I were referred to Mr. Jacoby from two different relatives. We attended the seminar and were very impressed and made an appointment that week. He was very professional and did an amazing job helping qualify my mother for Medicaid before my dad went bankrupt. He charge a flat-fe...e for all the work that he did regarding my mother living in the nursing home. Whenever we called, he answered us immediately and advised us what to do. He helped us in any situation that arose. When my father unexpectedly died, he took care of everything in his estate. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent lawyer, when you ask him a question he knows the answer immediately. He handled their Trust and investments preserving them from the significant cost of Nursing Home care.
