"Strong People Stand Up For Themselves, But Stronger People Stand Up For Others"

Years after my mother was faced with a devastating diagnosis, her condition progressed to the point of requiring 24 hour skilled nursing care. After finding the right long term care facility for my mother, I was faced with a litany of questions and concerns regarding Medicare/Medicaid regulations an...d guidelines, and how to protect my mother's assets from nursing home expenses. Initially, I relied on "word of mouth" from other families facing similar situations, and the facilities' assistance with payment requirements. It was all very confusing, especially when receiving conflicting information. Eventually, I was referred to Attorney John Sirois by several families he represented. John Sirois is an Estate and Elder Law Attorney; an EXPERT in Medicaid/Medicare law and Estate Planning. After my first meeting with him, I knew I had not only the "right" person, but the "only" person with the knowledge required to assist my family and I through this ordeal. Mr. Sirois, offered expert advice and guidance consisting of numerous meetings, and countless phone calls. He was always kind, professional, patient, reassuring, and always returned my phone calls in a timely manner. I was so grateful to have found a specialized Attorney of his caliber in Houma, Louisiana. I put all of my faith and trust in John and I am so grateful I did! John Sirois can be trusted! My advice to anyone is do not wait until you are faced with a family crisis. Reach out to John now and learn about protecting you or your loved one's assets in the event long term care may be required, and know you are in good hands. I would give John Sirois 10 Stars if I could! Thank you John for helping my family and I when no one else understood that asset options even existed in these situations. You are a blessing to this community.

Broussard Family Estate, Franklin, LA

My first contact with Mr. John Sirois was by phone. I was impressed by his willingness to take my call immediately and provide basic guidance to help navigate the estate planning for my parents at a late stage. He established his integrity and character early on, and since then he has completed my ...father's succession, and is in the process of completing estate planning for my mother. John is patient, insightful, and very knowledgable about Louisiana law. I appreciate his expertise and guidance, he's helped my family to navigate a multitude of complex issues on asset protection and estate planning.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
