Pleased with Service

We would highly recommend the law firm of Habiger and Associates Elder Law. Richard Habiger is very knowledgeable of the legal requirement and regulations affecting the establishment of a supplemental needs trust. The trust is very detail. His legal assistant, Jennifer Boyd was knowledgeable an...d helpful in working up mother’s application for medical assistance. She guided and assisted us in obtaining the necessary paper work to submit with the application. She was always very cheerful, helpful and eager to assist us anytime we meet with her or telephoned with questions or information. We recently received notification that mother’s medical assistance application has been approved by the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Help with mothers estate.

Thanks for all of the help with my mother's estate. She was placed in nursing home and nothing had been planned. Jenniffer was thoughtful and helpful through this difficult time.

If you were having brain surgery I hope you would seek out a qualified neurosurgeon NOT a podiatrist!

If you were having brain surgery I hope you would seek out a qualified neurosurgeon NOT a podiatrist! I found out through experience attorneys who are not specialists in Elder or Disability Trust Law is like going to a foot doctor for brain surgery. Richard Habiger is a specialist in elder law and is... extremely knowledgeable in this concentrated area. He and his associates are responsive and well informed on issues pertaining this specialized area of law. Richard Habiger is an expert in Elder Law and I feel fortunate to have found him. I have full confidence in his abilities to handle any situation related to elder law and highly recommend him. Chose your attorney as careful as you would a neurosurgeon. Go to a expert!

One of the Best

Richard helped me deal with a very difficult estate planning situation for my elderly parents. He's seen it all, and his experience definitely showed while helping my family through a difficult time.

I was impressed!

I went to Mr Habiger regarding my parents that were in a situation with nursing home care. I didnt even know what Elder Law was. He was very intelligent and knew just by my description of their situation, what needed to be done. I couldnt be happier with the results I got from Mr Habiger and his staf...f. I will continue always refer him to anyone that may need the similiar help that my parents and I were needing. Thank You
