This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Grateful for the Consult!

When we had to move Dad from Hospital to Nursing Home with an expectation of long term Medicaid needs, I needed good advice fast. Somehow I came across Bill’s first blog, where he said he saw himself as an elder advocate. Sounded like a nice guy, so I moved on to his main website and left a contact r...equest over the weekend. When he returned my inquiry early on Monday morning he didn’t disappoint. So kind and helpful! Our situation was so simple it could really be handled by downloaded documents without an attorney. He offered an overview of the Medicaid process with really helpful insights that were not among the info I had unearthed in hours and hours of search and reading. I feel I can handle the Medicare and Medicaid application process with more confidence now. I am so grateful for his willingness to take 20 minutes to answer my questions. His answers really changed everything. If I had a more complex case I would certainly ask Bill to handle it.

Client review.

I have recommended Mr. Nolen to many people through the years I have known him. I will continue to highly recommend him for Elder Law services. Mr. Nolen helped me with my mother's VA Aid & Attendant Benefit application, her estate planning regarding her will, trust for her assets,etc. .He also assis...ted me in filing for my husbands VA Aid and Attendant benefit. We are now in the process of settling my mother's estate after her passing in March 2015.

Helpful and efficient

Mr. Nolan has provided excellent advice, suggestions, and expertise first in assisting me with my parents' estate planning and then with my own needs for legal documents. He is accessible and helpful with any question I have asked him regarding both situations. I would recommend his without reserva...tion.

Good human

Unfortunately he couldn't represent me but his compassion and advice came across as more compassionate and considered my feelings as more important than money. I have talked to many lawyers and none projected this as well as he did. Thanks David

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Bill and I have known each other for several years. As an attorney and the owner of a Home Care company, I have been able to see various elder care attorneys in Birmingham and Mobile, and Bill is one of the most conscientious and caring attorneys there is. Bill not only knows how to help families plan for end of life issues, but he can also help with financial issues and many other problems which arise when our parents age. If you are trying to navigate the maze of Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, or long term care insurance or if you just need some estate planning to get affairs in order, Bill would be one of the best attorneys you could hire!"
