Pamela has been our source of information for all things concerning Elder Law, Medicare and Medicaid. After my father had a stroke she was our "rock" as our family tried to weave thru the red tape. She has been so kind to our mother and family. Now that our mother is in a nursing home she is sti...ll there for our concerns and questions. It is very obvious that a family's concern is her concern. I wish we had met under better circumstances, but will always be grateful for her time and assistance.

Gary Lanham, Realtor, Ft. Lauderdale

I would highly recommend the services of Pamela Burdick. I first used Pamela a couple of years ago to handle my Last Will and Testament as well as my Living Will documents. Her work was thorough, complete and comprehensive. I have had several friends and clients who have had parents dealing ...with Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases and they also used Pamela's services. With no exception, the feedback has been very positive. Each of them found Pamela's knowledge and expertise in Elder Law superb. Her ability to deal gently but effectively with aging and end of life legal issues allows her clients to benefit from her wisdom, providing them comfort and direction before a crisis presents.

Pamela Burdick is extremely honest, knowledgeable, sincere and compassionate. She has extraordinary skill in dealing with the elderly as well, which is important in her role as a Medicaid lawyer. She helped us interpret a complicated Trust as well as plan for Medicaid for elderly parents.
