I called the office of Cooper and Adel for help in a stressful problem faced I am sure by many senior widows and widowers. In 2001, my husband had to go to a nursing home as his illness had caused him to become dangerous and violent. Both of us had worked for 30 years..he had retired at age 55 to e...njoy fishing and traveling...he was diagnosed with his illness 4 years after retirement. As a teacher, I continued to work until I had to take a medical leave to care for him. As he became more and more unstable...it was impossible for me to continue his care. We paid all of his retirement and social security except 40 dollars to the nursing homes (he was in 3 different ones)...all of his annuity and half of mine went to the facilities until we finally were forced to go to medicaid. I desparately held on to our home and all the bills on just my retirement. He spent 6 plus years in the facilities until his death in 2007. A month or so after his death I received a letter saying that there would be lien placed on the only thing I had left...my home. The amount was unbelievable. I contacted my lawyer that I had used for wills, etc....but they did not understand the elder law and made me think there was no hope that my home could be saved for my children...especially for my daughter and family....because she has been diagnosed with the same illness that was inherited. Last winter I felt totally defeated that I couldn't do anything to help myself. I decided to call Cooper and Adel to talk to someone about this problem. Mr Vu was assigned to talk to me. Very quickly he assured me that something could be done. He worked diligently on helping me solve this stressful problem. He was able to prove my situation and give me the advice I needed. I cannot thank him enough for his knowledge and expertise in Elder Law..and for all his help in this matter. Thank you Mr. Vu....You are a fantastic lawyer....

I met with Dan recently to update a trust we had previously set up. He was very thorough in reviewing what the current set-up was and some newer options that have come available since the initial set-up. He took the time to review updates we needed to make, took on updating car titles to meet the ...needs of the trust designation and beneficiary updates to financial accounts then set up a second meeting to review final updates and signing of the trust amendments. We really felt comfortable that this was handled thoroughly and competently by Dan and his staffers. I plan to use Dan for future legal issues as necessary.
