A good experience

I started working with Beth Prather and her staff several years ago after my husband was diagnosed with dementia and it became apparent that long term care was inevitable. I have the life care plan for him. Ms. Prather, her paralegal Tricia, and the case workers have all been extremely helpful and ...compassionate. They did all the paperwork for Medicaid application and gave me detailed instructions as to what I must do myself. My financial advisor attended two of the meeting with me and Beth instructed her concerning the steps to be taken in that area. Her presence was welcomed. Since my husband is facing an extended nursing home stay, I need periodic help with paper work regarding Medicaid. They are always there for me. The relationship I have with Beth and her staff feels more like friendship than business.

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.
