Mr. Minetree

Was very helpful with my elderly parents getting all needed documents in order. When my father passed again helped ease the burden of all the legal aspects and requirements to help my mother in directions she needed to follow. Didn't talk down and explained every detail so we all could understand t...he reasons why. I being the daughhter that was in these meetings highly recommend Mr Minetree for your elderly loved ones. Highly recommend his services.

Favorable Ruling from Medicaid

We hired Tom Minetree to handle a Medicaid benefits application for a family member. Despite the intertwined finances of the applicant and his wife, Tom's office ably prepared the application and determined precisely when it should be submitted. The state Medicaid agency challenged a property trans...fer that had occurred prior to the submission of the application. We would up litigating the issue before an administrative law judge who, thanks to Tom's capable representation, determined that we had, in fact, complied with the strict requirements of the law. Furthermore, the state Medicaid agency affirmed the decision and confirmed benefits as of the date of the application.

Review of Tom Minetree's and staff's services

Being single with no children, I decided it was time to get my affairs in order and sought the advice of Tom Minetree who specializes in elder law and estate planning. During my estate planning it became very evident that Tom knows his speciality and provided some very helpful legal insight into my ...affairs. After my first consultation, I thought my mother should look at her estate planning. My brother and I first met with Tom and came away again with the feeling Tom really knows what he is talking about. During the establishment of our mother's estate and that of mine, I can truly say it was a pleasant experience, unlike others I have had, to deal with Tom and his staff. Tom sees the big picture and looks down the road to the future. I called several times and asked numerous questions and not one time was I talked down to nor felt my questions were unwarranted. I trust Tom to tell me like it is and to have my and my family's best interest in mind. If you need legal advice in elder law and estate planning, I highly recommend that you give Tom a call.

Caring and Expert Help

My father recently began having significant health issues. While long overdue, these recent issues led my mother and I to seek legal advice concerning my father's estate. Knowing that Mr. Minetree has experience in these matters, we sought his legal counsel and were incredibly impressed by the help w...e received. I serve as a full-time pastor of a local church and was thoroughly impressed with how Mr. Minetree dealt with my family's situation with care, understanding, and professionalism. It was obvious that he is an expert in these legal matters, dealing with estate and financial situations from a legal perspective. He was sensitive to my mother's needs while also caring deeply for my father's health and long-term well being. He gave us advice on how the law can protect my family's estate while at the same time giving my father the best care possible. Most importantly, Mr. Minetree was skilled in giving my mother and I a sense peace regarding her future. He was able to provide specific information applicable to our situation and how our situations can be managed for our good within the confines of the law. I could not more highly recommend his legal counsel. He is highly skilled in his areas of emphasis and can well be considered an expert in elder law. There is no one we would rather consult than Mr. Minetree. As much for his legal counsel, his caring and sensitive approach to our needs and situation are worthy of commendation. This being a situation that everyone will face, dealing with the long-term care of a loved one, Mr. Minetree's expertise ought to be sought after and utilized by many!
