Richard J. Habiger

When I was dealing with cancer, and the only caregiver for an elderly mother with dementia, Mr Habiger helped me make certain my mother would be taken care of if I pre-deceased her. He did so with real concern and compassion for my situation, always there to listen to my worries and offer the profess...ional advice I so badly needed. He did all this while dealing with his own personal challenges. Knowing that my mother's affairs were in order in case I could not care for her, let me apply my energy to fighting my cancer. A year later I am doing well and forever grateful, thank you. Mr Habiger's own personal experiences give him tremendous insight and competence to handle all areas of elder law.

I have been using Mr. Habiger's firm for the past two years while applying for Medicaid for my mother. It's been a very "trying" experience, but Mr. Habiger and especially his staff have always been responsive to my needs no matter how trivial my questions have been. I would highly recommend him to... anyone looking for a good elderlaw lawyer.

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.

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!
