Gene Louis Osofsky

Mr Osofsky explains everything very thoroughly, is extremely patient answering all questions, ensures the primary person's wishes are known to him and are being carried out. This includes consulting with our Mom 1:1 with us out of the room to ensure this. He then stayed with us over a long period o...f time as Mom sorted out her living situation etc. Once he established the correct trust for Mom, he then worked as an intermediary with our CPA. When Mom passed he processed all the paperwork and again served as an intermediary to the government and CPA. He was extremely thorough, professional but personal and empathetic as he worked with us all. He remains up on current law and policy. I highly recommend Mr. Osofsky.

I can’t say enough about this attorney. I came upon a very stressful, overwhelming problem I had to deal with for my dad. The laws and all the things that I can do -I can’t do for him and my mom since I’m the power of attorney so overwhelming. He made the passage of things that I needed to get done q...uickly he explained them eloquently so I could understand .answered thousands of questions that I had regarding them and their situation. I would definitely refer anyone I know to him in regards to the elderly care he’s very knowledgeable! Very honest as well ! It’s hard to explain how overwhelmed I was with my parents situation and he really help me with that

My sister and I contacted Gene when we were about to sell our late mother's home. Mom had some language in her trust about her late husband (our step-father) having a "life estate" in the home if she pre-deceased him, which she did. Since he was being cared for in a nursing home and had just passed a...way at age 102, we had a concern that MediCal, who had already contacted us about a possible claim, was going to pursue one if we sold the home. They had said that the claim could be as much as $188,000. Gene gave us very good advice about all of the options open to us, and we hired him to deal with the situation. It was so great to have a professional working on our behalf. That meant I didn't have to spend hours on end dealing with all of the bureaucracy. It was never Mom's intent to have the State take away from that which she wanted to pass along to her three children. Our step-father had been in the nursing home from 2005 until his death, early in 2009, because he was no longer able to be taken care of at home where our mother lived until her death in 2006. I had envisioned a situation where our lawyer, Mr. Osofsky, would have to negotiate with MediCal, and we'd end up paying thousands of dollars to get them to go away, or that it might have even gone into a lengthy trial and we'd end up with a judgment against us from the Court.. With our documentation and with Mr. Osofsky's expert help and reputation with MediCal, we had the best possible outcome. MediCal dropped all claim on the estate. We have sold the home as of August, 2009. The money has been distributed to me and my brother and sister. If we had not retained Mr. Osofsky, this could still be dragging out and we would have lost the opportunity to sell the home and get on with our lives. I would recommend Gene Osofsky to anyone needing a highly professional attorney to help them deal with a difficult legal situation.

We recently had our wills and trust updated by Gene Osofsky and were very impressed by his thoroughness and attention to detail. Mr. Osofsky is very easy to talk to and he explains everything so a lay person can understand what the choices and possible outcome can be(without making you feel ignora...nt) He doesn't hesitate to let you know if he needs to research an item and takes care of doing that until he feels satisfied with the results. My husband and I would highly recommend Gene Osofsky and will continue to work with him in the future.

We moved our elderly mother from Washington to California and consulted with Mr. Osofsky regarding a complicated estate situation. Following an initial meeting, where Mr. Osofsky asked very detailed questions and made us feel extremely comfortable, we were carefully guided through a step by step pro...cess. He advised a separate and second attorney would be necessary to ensure our mother's interests were carefully protected. The recommendation was excellent and our mother was very comfortable and pleased with her attorney. Mr. Osofsky emailed and called us to keep us current with every step and after successfully completing the process, he continued to keep in touch with us, inquiring about our mother and making sure we were satisfied with the outcome. I cannot recommend Mr. Osofsky enough for his skill and professionalism, his concern for our mother’s interests and welfare and the protection of her estate.
