Great communication

Jeannette did a great job helping me with my parent's assets and getting them help with Medicaid. She always answers calls and questions promptly. I never waited more than a day for a response on a question. They kept me informed and explained the process front to back. Great service!

Had medicaid planning done by Jeannette, and the experience from beginning to end was great. She did a great job helping me understand what was going on and I really liked her.

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.
