Review Michael Weeks

Highly Recommend

Posted by JulieSun May 31 2015

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Weeks recently when my husband and I set up our wills, power of attorneys and health care directives. We had a lot of questions as we were very unfamiliar with the process. Mr. Weeks did an awesome job of answering all of those questions and making us feel comfortable. I have already recommended him to several of our friends and family members who want to start planning for the future.

I have worked with Mike with one of his appeals. I also have consulted with him on elder care and related Medicaid issues. Mike has a wealth of knowledge about the regulations in this complex area of law. I strongly recommend Mike to my clients who are facing elder care issues.
