Assisted Living Waiver - Zero Share Cost

Laura will get it done. Take notes because everything she says will unfold exactly how she says it will. It was a complicated (ALW then Zero Share plus backdate appeal) process that was completely new to me and I was out of the country and when back was in a different state from my father for the dur...ation. She was very very good and I highly recommend her!

Thank You Atty Laura Butkute

I am so glad that Atty Laura Butkute, with Elder Care Law, was referred to us. When the family initially tried to help my mom apply for Medi-Cal, on our own, it was overwhelming for us with all these new information and requirements. During the initial consultation with Atty Laura, she addressed ou...r questions, issues, and concerns. Atty Laura also explained the process and what she will do for my mom’s situation and what is needed to ensure a successful application submittal the first time through. With the help of Atty Laura and his associate, Weylon Shineman, there was focus and priority placed on the necessary activities and documents needed to get timely approval. My family and I highly recommend Atty Laura, and her associates at Elder Care Law.

Top specialist for Medi-cal application process for elderly.

Elder Care Law is a top notch firm for helping my mom in her application for Medi-cal. It is not easy to apply Medi-cal at her age. However, the Laura and her team at Elder Care law were very thorough with their work and Weylon guided me thru the process and step by step to achieved our goal. I would... highly recommend their team!

We are so grateful for Laura and her team!

My family and I have had a rough few years trying to pay for my mother’s care, including being denied for medi-cal and then having to borrow against my parents’ home. By the time we found Laura, we were out of money to pay for my mom’s care and what felt like without options. Within a couple of m...onths, Laura and her team got my mom approved for medi-cal. What a relief! She and her team are efficient, transparent, reasonably priced, and advocated for us when the county was being difficult. Our only regret is not finding Laura years earlier. We HIGHLY recommend!

Recommend HIGHLY!

Perhaps, as with MANY out there I never ever thought 'we' would ever have to be in the position to apply for MEDI-CAL assistance, but unfortunately, 'life' can throw you 'curve balls' that leaves you with NO CHOICE in the matter...I have to say Elder Care Law, Laura, Weylon and their team of EXPER...TS made this process a lot more UNCOMPLICATED than I ever thought it would be. They are the 'real deal' and know what they are doing. If you or family members find themselves in the position where they TRULY need "assistance' that MEDI-CAL provides, I recommend this group 500%...BTW, they were always available whenever I needed questions answered etc etc.. Many THANKS to this group and their team.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
