The Best Elder Law Lawyer in El Paso!

In November of 2015, the Law Firm of Townsend Allala and Associates was referred to us, by a friend. From that day on, the rest is history. Jennifer Lynn Coulter has been there to assist us, in many difficult situations. Having both parents in a nursing facility and living out of state has been qu...ite a challenge. There have been many times, in the past few years, that my husband and I have contacted Ms. Coulter, in an urgent panic, asking for her professional assistance and advice. Her response to our urgent calls for immediate help has always resulted in very timely and professional response which has allowed for the proper care for my parents. If you are in need of an Elder Law Attorney, there is no one better, in El Paso, than Jennifer Lynn Coulter, Esquire.

Hire Jen immediately!

Overwhelmed by the possible financial burden of our mother going into nursing care in El Paso, we reached out to her firm for help. Once they figured out we needed assistance with Medicaid, they suggested we go right to their resident specialist on Medicaid. This is who you need to hire to safeguard ...your assets to the extent possible, and just as importantly, handle your Medicaid application for you. She submitted our application with extensive backup documentation, quoted all the Medicaid rules/codes with exhibits to support everything which could be scrutinized, and did her best to leave no questions unanswered by caseworkers reviewing the application. She also has relationships with many of the Medicaid attorneys, enabling her to cut through trickier red tape more quickly. I knew she was the right person to hire after the social worker at mom's nursing home realized we hired counsel to handle her Medicaid case and she said, "Ohhhh! You hired Jen Coulter???? No worries. You will get it approved!!!" Jen provides very thorough explanations, and offers up alternate contingency plans so you know what could come up, and what plan B would be if that would happen. She responds promptly, and her Legal Assistant Estella is extremely knowledgeable and prompt. I don't know how we could have handled these stressful family matters without Jen's assistance.

I would recommend anyone with Elder Law or Medicare/Medicaid family issues to seek the advice of Ms. Coulter and her associates. She is well versed on Elder Law and goes out of her way to help the family. She was able to obtain the best care and benefits possible for our mother who is handicapped.... We could not have done it without her help.

An Outstandingly Helpful Attorney for addressing Elderlaw and Estate Issues

In 2011-2014, I had to deal with two parents in their mid-80's who were severely demented and had made no provisions for their decline and demise. Worse, I lived in New Mexico and they lived in El Paso. In the end, Jennifer and her associates got them placed in a nursing home, resolved issues relat...ed to the cost of their care, resolved bunches of issues related to the inadequacies of their wills, checked in with the nursing home periodically to make sure they were well taken care of, and in the end enormously helped me as executor to settle their estate. Jennifer was always there immediately whenever I (in Santa Fe) was confronted with legal and medical crises. One phone call ... zip! Next day, another major headache solved, thanks to Jennifer. My only complaint is that at last contact, she still wasn't qualified to practice in law in New Mexico. Were she, I'd hire her in a minute to handle my own legal affairs as they relate to estate and eldercare issues. Of the several family law attorneys I've employed over the last thirty, she's been by far the most outstanding in knowledg4e and responsiveness.

"I endorse this lawyer. Based on posts on AVVO, Jennifer knows about probate and estate planning. Her answer was so good that I have copied for my own use on AVVO and other places, but I will give her credit."

Relationship: Friend

"I endorse this lawyer. I am a Texas criminal defense attorney. Bar number 12151500. I know nothing about Elder Law. I hired her to do my family's wills, powers of attorney, trusts and even a medicaid application. She did an excellent iron clad job and won my medicaid case. I will use her again. She is excellent. I highly recommend her. Sincerely, Texas Attorney Stuart Leeds."
