Medicaide Recertification

My 104-year old Mother, on Medicaid for years, was suddenly Medicaid disqualified. Sierra was able to resolve the problem quickly and effectively. I highly recommend her for any Medicaid issues.

Sierra Butler is a Top Notch Lawyer

I can not rave about Sierra Butler at Butler Elder Law enough. Sierra helped my family and I through an extremely difficult time in our lives. We had two other lawyers who had neglected to do their jobs accurately and had failed to file important documents in a timely matter. I was panicking and stre...ssed and Sierra came through in a big way. She literally fixed everything for us. We had a complicated situation and what started out as something we thought was going to take multiple court visits and multiple pleadings ended up being handled quickly and efficiently by Sierra. She was patient and kind and thorough in her explanations. She knew her what she was talking about and after the first conversation with her, I knew we'd picked the right lawyer. She was always easily accessible, both on the phone and through email, and got back with me promptly. All of these are things we had not experienced with our other lawyers. I can say without conviction that you will not be disappointed with her.
