If you wish to work with an exceptional lawyer, Ms. Delaney is it!

I cannot praise Ms. Delaney highly enough! She is an absolutely amazing attorney, very meticulous, sharp, and detailed oriented, as well as a kind hearted and insightful individual. She is honest and straightforward, taking the time to thoroughly examine the particulars of any situation. She is al...ways on the ball and makes one feel one has gotten the most out of an hour. I have always felt when she arrives she taken time to prepare for issues to be addressed with a diverse background and wealth of knowledge, bringing to the table insights and suggestions I had not considered. Additionally, she takes the time to fully answer any questions sent via emails, without extra charge, which is very reasonable. I have worked with Ms. Delaney for about two years now, and we have gone through the details of multiple issues related to elder law and elder care regarding my parents. With her guidance we have for example addressed the details of Medicaid applications, directing of funds to a particular individual after the sale of a house owned by a relative on Medicaid in order to shield that individual from losing coverage and benefits, as well as the particulars of low income government assistance programs. She would also make sure nursing homes would deduct funds related to parental medical care from monthly social security payments vs. the personal funds of a caregiver, for example. Questions involving social security disability, power of attorney, and the ins and outs of the role of Medicaid in assisted living vs. nursing home, details involving reverse mortgage in relation to Medicaid and ownership of assets, were addressed. Pros and cons of particular government programs, extra help from Medicare, and the ins and outs of such issues as particular types of trusts were also addressed in detail. It is hard to completely disclose all issues addressed, but suffice it to say the numerous particulars of a whole array of situations were addressed in a concise and detailed manner, thanks to Amy's depth of knowledge and experience. As a lady client, I also felt comfortable working with Amy, who has received numerous awards over the years as a renowned and exceptional woman lawyer. Furthermore, I never felt rushed during our sessions, and had the opportunity to not only meet in person but also to speak on the phone if more convenient. I cannot recommend Ms. Delaney highly enough! Her experience, abundance of knowledge and resources, her intelligence and respectful, considerate nature make her an exceptional lawyer to work with. Thank you so much Amy!

Is There A Benefit Using An Elder Law Attorney? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!!

Growing up in a blue collar family and being the 1st one in my family to earn a college education as an older adult, Mom was in transitioning into the early-middle stages of Alzheimers. We, the three children were trying to figure out what is the best way to protect our parents retirement savings, a...s they spent their entire life building. Then one day, a friend of mine suggested seaching for an attorney. That's when we were introduced to Amy DeLaney, CELA and we have never looked back. Each state differs on how they are able to assist each family with their loved one who clearly has become incapable of making ANY decisions or understanding any of the long term consequences. Amy has always had our Mom top of mind, ensuring her quality of life, though declining, protecting Mom in her long-term needs planning while educating and communicating to us, the family. Along this journey, we also learned the Elder laws are changing all the time and we've appreciated Amy staying on top of these changes, incorporating when needed.
