Best Elder Care Attorney to represent our Mom

Randall has been there for our family since day one helping our elderly mother to apply and get approved for Medi-Cal. He is very experienced and his knowledge is second to none! He and his staff are amazing and always available when we need help. We interviewed different elder law attorneys but we ...are very happy we went with Randall as we continue to use him. He also did a Living Trust for another member of our family. My family and I highly recommend Randall F. Kaiden for any Elder Law, Trust or Estate Planning issues you may need help with. Thank you again Randall & paralegals for all of your help assisting our 90 year old mother and our family during this very difficult period watching her mental health decline. We appreciate everything you have done to help us. May God bless you for your kindness and consideration.

Help When I Needed It!

Randall Kaiden and his staff helped me get Medi-Cal approval for my husband who is in a nursing home. This was an extremely difficult and confusing process and I couldn't have done it without them. They were patient and understanding and explained exactly what had to be done and why. I highly reco...mmend Randall Kaiden for anyone with elder law needs.

Randall F. Kaiden helped our family setup a trust for my mother and also gave us much needed help in getting her Medi-Cal application approved.

My sisters and I all are very happ...y with the professional and trustworthy service Randall and his team have given us!! He and his team have the experience and knowledge to navigate some very complex issues. I highly recommend them!!

A real professional

Randall and I went to law school together in the mid-90's. I thought he was a very nice guy, but we unfortunately lost contact. Little did I know that 20 years later, after researching potential attorneys and checking out his reviews, reputation and credentials, I'd select him as the estate plannin...g attorney for my parents! He did a great job on what turned out to be a complicated estate plan (the family is still growing, and one of the grandchildren is special needs, which raised a lot of back-and-forth over the need for/terms of a Special Needs Trust). He was very detail-oriented and professional - he put a ton of time in to get everything right, considering every possibility, notwithstanding that he was drafting all the documents at a flat rate. My brother and I were very particular about numerous terms of the documents, and Randall was always very patient and helpful throughout numerous (and I mean numerous) e-mails and telephone conferences. And, my parents really liked him and felt comfortable with him, which I think is very important when anyone is drafting an estate plan. I will be contacting him soon to set up my OWN estate plan - I don't think I can give a better recommendation than that.

Kaiden Elder Law Group

Setting up a trust seemed rather overwhelming at first, but with Mr. Kaiden's expertise and professionalism we were able to execute it without the stress I initially feared would be involved. He explains the process well and is always ready to answer all queries in a manner in which all can comprehen...d. Not only is Mr. Kaiden a reputable lawyer, he is also unpretentious and honest in his approach. It is also important to add that his staff is also very pleasant.
