Elder Care Work

Kristen was recommended to me by a friend. My Dad has been ill and was in Rehab but He had used all his Medicare benefits and was being moved into the Nursing Home. I didn't have a clue how we were going to take care of the cost of the nursing facility and keep my Stepmom in their home. I met with Kr...isten for a consultation. She was a lifesaver. She walked me through the part I needed to do and she completed everything else. There is no way I could've possibly done all that on my own and take care of my parents. I highly recommend her and have referred some friends to her. She made a very difficult situation not so stressful. I can never thank her enough.

Job well done!

Kristen got my Dad qualified for government assistance while living in a nursing home. She is very personable, caring, and easy to contact. She was very efficient and knowledgeable of the process.

Will Probate

She did our probate for my fathers will. She also did the papers for my mother to sell her house. She was fast and very efficient.She made herself available to answer and and all questions we had. We were very impress with her and her staff.

Elder Care/VA Benefit Application

Kristen did a phenomenal job! She explained all of our available options based on our situation and gave us step by step instructions as to what we needed to do to set up a trust and get the VA application submitted. It is a lengthy and time consuming process, but she was available always by phone or... email to answer questions. She helped ease a lot of stress. Thank You from us all!

Trust Document, Ladybird Deed & Wills

Kristen first help us with my husband's parents home to put it into a ladybird deed to protect the asset and then made new wills for us. She then helped us form a Living Trust and new wills. She was very informative, with explanations that were clear, concise and went above and beyond to even go t...o the hospital to get my father in laws signatures.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
