Estate planning, applying for medicaid

Mr. Broiles assisted us with establishing a trust, POA, and applying for Medicaid benefits. He is very knowledgeable about the laws in California and provided sound legal advice. Due to my mother's inability to travel, his assistant traveled to her location in order for her to sign documents. Alth...ough we do not know the outcome of his efforts (we are still waiting for the Medicaid determination), he seems to be very trustworthy and honest, and has shown a great deal of respect and sympathy for my mother's situation.
