Joseph Stuart Karp

I had 3 meetings with Joseph Karp to review my assets, heirs etc to finalize my decision to set up a revocable trust. I had a general understanding of what I wanted to do and his estate planning experience was very helpful to complete the process.

explained all options available to us and helped to select what is best for us.

Karp Law Firm is outstanding. All their attorneys are honest and of good character. I trust them 100% in what they advise me and I don't feel I have to second guess them. They are excellent in Elder Care legal matters. I used them first for my mom, then for my dad. I would not use any other law firm. They are truly the best. They are calming during times that you are stressed and they help you navigate your Elder Care legal concerns.

Mr. Karp is exceptional in the field of elder law and in problem solving. He is thorough and pays attention to the details. He is well known in the field and greatly respected by both clients and peers for his vast knowledge. His ability to communicate and remember the clients’ needs is extraordinary. Mr. Karp was able to guide us through a very complex medial and financial elder estate plan insuring and meeting Florida’s complex elder protection laws.

Great, Great lawyer and man. Not only is he a great Lawyer but also a great man. Mr Karp and his staff handled my will. He is so smart and very generous. I felt Mr Karp really cared about taking care of my needs, and protecting my children.I can rest knowing that my family has been taken care of and are protected. He has to be the wisest man I have ever met in my life

Mr. Karp is the most organized person I know. He worked on our finances for planning in case of death. He is extremely knowledgeable about finances and could make recommendations. The staff worked well with him, and explained everything so we could understand all aspects of what we were doing and why it was the best route to go. The firm is continually monitoring finances and will help us should anything change or in case of a death. I highly recommend Mr. Karp and his law Firm!!

Me. Karp is knowledgeable and a professional in every sense of the word. He assisted my aunt in writing her will, and health care wishes when she moved to Florida from out of state. He guided her as if she was a lifelong friend even though he only met with her a few times.

Attorney Karp did a thorough review of my past estate planning documents, including the titling of my deed. He made a complete revision of both. The documents he prepared are very detail oriented and comprehensive. I was extremely pleased with the final product.

Both my elderly mother and aunt were running short on funds and unable to continue paying for senior living services on their own towards the end of 2016. We had heard that Mr. Karp and his staff were particularly adept at helping clients navigate the labyrinth-like process of filing for long term nursing home Medicaid, so we contacted his office for assistance. As far as my husband and I are concerned, the money we paid Mr. Karp and his staff for their services was one of the best investments we ever made! Other than our having to submit all the necessary Medicaid eligibility documentation to Attorney Karp's office, his staff did everything concerning completion of the application and dealing directly with Florida DCF. Both my mother and aunt were ultimately approved for nursing home/long term Medicaid entitlement, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Karp and his hardworking staff!

I first met with Joe Karp about 10 years ago to create a Family Trust for the benefit of my father in law and did some Medicaid planning in anticipation of my father in law's future needs. My father in law was 87 at the time. Fast forward 10 years, my father in law was recently transferred to a nursing home and shortly after he was admitted we applied for Medicaid for him. Within a month he was approved. The process for applying could have been a paperwork nightmare but with the help of his expert staff it was as simple a process as possible. This took what could have been a financial as well as a paperwork nightmare and became a smart decision that we made 10 years ago with Joe's expert guidance.

My mother and I needed some guidance regarding a legal matter that was not related to the trust the firm had prepared. They were very helpful and informative. They explained the issues and my options and gave me some recommendations for lawyers that could handle our case. I really feel like they care about their clients and have our best interests foremost on their minds. The entire staff has been so nice. Norma Cruz has been my point guard throughout all of this. She was always cheerful and did not make me feel like a bother. She was very friendly and accommodating. Thanks.

When my Dad needed to be placed in a nursing home, Mr. Karp and his highly professional staff handled every aspect of the process for my family. All of them treated my family with dignity and respect and the highest level of competence that I could ever have imagined. What I did not realize at the time was that he also put everything in place for my Mom as well, so that when she passed away a few years later, we did not even have to go back to his office. Mr. Karp had already taken care of it. My family will always be grateful for his firm's kindess and compassion. This past year, I returned to Mr. Karp's office to update my will. He spent an hour with my wife and me, made some great suggestions, and did not charge us any money whatsoever for his time. In today's world, things like this rarely happen, and once again we owe the Karp Law Firm a debt of gratitude. I highly recommend this firm to anyone with Elder Law or last will and testament issues.

“I want to thank you and your staff for the professional and expert advice imparted and for always being available to our myriad questions and concerns. I also appreciated you having multiple offices, email accessibility and conference calls. I have been sharing your name with friends and colleagues. Now more than ever, I believe in being informed and educated about future challenge and to make them secure. I hope others will turn to you as I have.”

Mr. Karp and staff have made the process painless. Their prompt, reassuring and knowledgeable responses have made a significant impact on my stress level! After researching his firm on the Internet and subsequently having an initial phone conversation, my gut feelings had been reinforced ! I was in the right hands. The services and expertise his firm provided has allowed me to focus on the more important personal issues with my father. To plagiarize a phrase from Master Card…..”this has been priceless for me”. MOST IMPORTANT, it is reassuring when talking to someone, that you feel you are both on the "same page"!

Joe Karp organized our Trust document and a case in which my wife and I were trustees, after our friend died. In all contacts, and there were many, Mr. Karp exhibit exceptional interest in our situation and helped us understand the legal ramifications of various Federal and state laws. I was particularly happy that he always used language understandable to non-legal client. While attorneys have time as their tool of the trade, we had ample time to explore our details and ask question. What, perhaps, impressed me most, is the reality that Joe, besides being an attorney, is also a deep person who quickly recognizes the essence of a given situation.
