Laura Butkute

I 100% recommend Elder Care Law. I was very worried about getting my mother on Medi-Cal as there are so many hoops to jump through. Laura was great and helped me out not only legally but made feel better about the process. Weylon worked to get the paperwork needed and was wonderful to deal”with and... very detailed and helpful. They got her approved and in a very timely manner. Great firm !

It is with pleasure and deep appreciation that we thank Laura Butkute and her executive director, Weylon Shineman, for all their expertise and insight in successfully navigating the tortuous ins and outs of moving our mother into the Medi-Cal program; this at a time when our lives were in turmoil f...rom all the circumstances surrounding our mother’s accident. During this undertaking, they were always available to answer our many questions and concerns with patience and care, counseling us on financial matters, as well as advising us as to the progress of the process. It was a great relief to know that their experience in these matters was taking this complex task out of our hands. We recommend Elder Care Law California enthusiastically and without reservation.

I had visited another elder law attorney who charged me $600.00 per visit. 1st visit he affirmed my family were eligible for Medi-Cal; 2nd visit he re-affirmed our eligibility. He did not know how to file an application. He was no help and gave no counsel. He also offered more help if I were to pa...y him $5,000.00 to put him on retainer. After calling Laura Butkute we had a Medi-Cal case number and within a week an ID card. In less than 45 days we received a phone call from Weylon Shineman saying he had received a verbal approval. I cannot express my gratitude in an adequate way. I am able to keep my home, my car and our assets and my husband will receive the care he needs. Thank you Laura.

Elder Care Law is highly professional and knowledgeable in the MediCal arena and assisted our family with securing MediCal for our aging parents. My father became disabled and has been admitted to a health care center for long term care. There is no way the family could have afforded his much neede...d health care services without MediCal benefits. Laura Butkute guided us through the maze of the complexities of the health care system, and we are grateful to her and her staff for their assistance.
