Medicaid Pending Senior Specialist

I work with our El Paso, Texas facility where Jessica handles legal issues we have problems with families (DOPA's) not paying their parents bill and refusing to sell property in order to get them eligible for Medicaid. We have a resident who owes over $54,000. Thanks to Jessica that number will n...o longer go up. She did something I have never had an attorney do in all my years working in long term care. This financial abuse was reported to ADPS and law enforcement. Nothing was done. Jessica sent me a letter to review that she wanted to send to the Attorney General. It was so well written. Yes this was financial abuse but she also wrote with concern for our resident. She got the ball rolling with that letter. They assigned an investigator to this case. We now have a legal guardian for our resident, the family no longer has access to her pension checks and this guardian will see that the house is sold, the nursing home bill paid off, Medicaid is applied for and our resident's needs met financially. Sending that letter to the Office of the Attorney General was not only a brilliant idea but the fact that she was determined to see the right thing done for our resident - meant so much. We are here to take care of those in our care and with Jessica's help we able to accomplish this.

Estate planning

Townsend allala & associates were recommended to us by a friend. My husband and I kept putting off having our wills drawn up for 25 years. Finally after we retired we made an appointment for a consultation. We were very impressed with Jessica Kludt and decided to hire her. She answered all our ques...tions and made us feel at ease by her caring nature.

Estate with no will

The Law Office of Stephanie Townsend was recommended by family friends. My father passed away leaving no will or anything organized. I worked with Jessica to handle the legal needs to manage this type of situation, as well as the various bills and other financial responsibilities required. Jessica wa...s helpful, kind, and patient with my many questions. The office is family run, and you are treated with respect and personal attention. This was a very difficult situation, as dealing with death is, and Jessica helped make this part bearable. If you need estate planning or someone to assist with what happens after someone passes, this is a great resource and made a huge difference for me.

Wills

Stephanie was very knowledgable, and on our first visit she answered all of our questions. She also gave us other information that is helpful to us. We decided to have our wills drawn up, and Jessica helped us complete our wills. She is also very knowledgable. Jessica's demeanor is so pleasant th...at it was easy to ask her any question. We will recommend Jessica or Stephanie to anyone needing an attorney for these personal matters.

Wonderful Honest Attorney!

I had the good fortune to meet Jessica during a stressful time in my life. My sister was very ill and her prognosis would end in death. Jessica was understanding and efficient as she walked me through the many problems I encountered during my sisters hospice care,death and probate court. I will be ...eternally grateful for her expertise and kindness during the whole process. She went over and above my expectations! I highly recommend her !
