Outstanding Professional Legal Advice for Eldercare Law

My husband and I are extremely grateful to the assistance of Ms. Wolf and her team in helping us deal with the healthcare issues for our elderly parents. Not only is Ms. Wolf extremely knowledgeable, but her personal warmth and patience are invaluable assets in helping translate the maze of legal an...d financial issues that the elderly must address to ensure quality of life. We highly recommend Amanda D Wolf for anyone who needs an Eldercare Attorney.

Elder LAw

We are very pleased with Amanda Wolf's knowledge of the law as it applys to eldercare and estate planning. We could not have negotiated the maze of government rules and regulations without her guidance. She also handled my elderly mother with empathy and professionalism which helped ensure that she... secured the benefits she was entitled to. I am a a senior officer with the Northern Trust Company and have worked with many attorneys, Amanda is at the top of the list.

A wonderful attorney!

Amanda made a difficult time in my life much easier for me. Her amiable personality and intimate knowledge of elder law as well as the workings of the DCF made it a less stressful process getting my Mother approved for Medicaid. She is very easy to talk to and one feels immediately at ease with her. ...Her fee was much more reasonable than I had expected and she was able to make the whole process, from initial interview to final acceptance by Medicaid, smooth.

Elder Care Success

Ms. Wolf provided elder care legal services to my mother and has successfully enabled her to maintain a healthy and comfortable quality of life, which would not have been possible without the excellent counsel, provided by Ms. Wolf. Our mother was faced with the inevitable decline in financia...l resources as her care needs increased and the economic recession eroded her assets. Ms. Wolf conducted a review of her personal and financial situation and guided us through a complicated and lengthy process, securing for her desperately needed benefits. As such, she was able to continue living in the same ALF, receiving the essential medical care and prescription coverage she needs. I would highly recommend Ms Wolf to those who care for elderly parents as well as for those in their retirement years. She has provided excellent counsel, really cares about her clients, and looks for solutions that work for families. Her work for our family has paid off in terms of creating substantial economic benefits but more importantly, she has provided for a renewed peace of mind for all of us.

  • 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.
