Excellent Estate Planning & Elder Law Attorney

Don, has performed an estate plan for my mother, myself, and my sibs. He makes the process simple with his five question approach. That approach coupled with his ability to make the complicated simple was evident when he helped my wife's 87 year old Aunt finally develop an estate plan at my urging. W...e were dealing with a person with a fear of the process for being bad "juju" or whatever. Don was wonderful! If looking for an estate attorney or elder law attorney, I don't think you can do better. Take a look at the awards and credentials. Very impressive number of awards and memberships!

Don Rosenberg

Don Rosenberg was instrumental in helping us to prepare in dealing with a vast array of situations and issues that arose from my father's Alzheimer's illness. His knowledge of the law and Medicaid is extensive. Don is also a very caring and compassionate person. He was always just a phone call awa...y. Quick to respond.

Don Rosenberg Review

Don was very helpful in the Medicaid planning for my father. My sister and I worked with Don over a period of five years in preparation for my father eventually entering a nursing home. He was always available for questions and responded timely to any issues we were facing. His knowledge and exper...tise helped us through a very difficult time. The emotional stress of having to deal with a parent suffering from Alzheimers and the decisions that had to be made as to his care and placement in long term care facility were lessened to a degree because Don helped in the financial planning to make that part of the transition easier.

Best experience with a lawyer ever!

Mr. Rosenberg spent all the time necessary to answer our questions regarding estate planning for our parents. We felt that he made time for us and never rushed us out of his office until our concerns were resolved. Don and his assistant, Amanda, were accessible and answered our emails and calls imme...diately. We felt that fees paid were more than worth it when we saw what exemplary service we received.

An Honest and Caring Attorney

Don Rosenberg and his associates at The Center for Elder Law helped me and my family through a very difficult period. My mother was on life support in a local medical facility; my father and I originally approached Don to be our Elder Law attorney. We were in the midst of doing this planning when m...y father had an accident at home and passed away. My mother passed away four days later at the medical facility. It was obviously a very trying time for our family. Don immediatey offered his condolences and became our family's Estate Attorney. He guided me through every step of the process in a professional, yet kind manner. He was very sympathetic and empathetic to my family; staying wih us until both estates were closed. I have great admiration for Don.

Elder law lawyer | Jan 07

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Attorney Don Rosenberg. I have worked directly with Don on several matters. Don is an outstanding attorney. He is knowledgeable and thorough. I have personally seen Don achieve results where other experienced elder law attorney could not. Don's credentials are impeccable. Don routinely headlines legal seminars about elder law attended by attorneys. He is as comfortable teaching other attorneys about elder law, as he is speaking to individual clients who rely on Don to find a solution for family members. Don has the knowledge and ability, and his firm has the capacity, to assist a client from basic to advanced estate planning, to veterans, disability and/or Medicaid benefits, even navigating through an administrative hearing or court case, if necessary. In my opinion, Attorney Don Rosenberg is one of the best estate planning attorneys in the country. It is an honor to call Attorney Don Rosenberg a colleague."
