Medicaid Attorney that knows what he's doing.

Joshua helped me get my husband onto Medicaid with the least amount of worry from me. With the tons of paperwork that is required, he walked me through each and every step of the process. I would highly recommend Joshua Pops

The Best Call I Ever Made

I met Joshua in December of 2016. My sister had suddenly passed away. She was the sole caretaker for my father who was suffering from dementia and was in a memory care facility. I found myself facing the most severe crisis of my life. I had no authority to make any decisions on my father's behalf or ...to pay his expenses. I knew I needed to petition the court for guardianship fast! My father passed away in December of 2018. It is now July, 2019. My father's estate just closed. I could write a book on the two and a half years that has passed. Joshua was there for me like a friend from day one. He told me the truth when I needed to hear it the most. He kept me focused on what was important and patiently tolerated my panic attacks and irrational fears. Every step of the way I knew Joshua was there with the best interests of my father in mind. I can sincerely say, if you ever find yourself in a situation like mine, Joshua Pops is the guy you want looking out for you!

Estate Planning

I was recommended Mr Pops by my neighbor to consult him about my wife’s dementia and how to best get help for her. In the process, he drafted my estate plan which consisted of a will, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive and disposition of remains. My children have stopped worrying about... decisions they did not want to make about my health. I have stopped worrying about my wife’s future, and that my kids will inherit my estate. I have nothing but praise for Mr. Pops and have already recommended him to several people.

WILL

Josh prepared a will for me, along with all of the related documents. He was thorough and timely. He listened to what I wanted and made suggestions. His office staff was friendly and efficient.

"I have personally observed Joshua's strong work ethic and unwavering advocacy on behalf of his clients. Not only is Joshua an incredible attorney, he's also a caring and compassionate person who understands the emotional turmoil attendant to many family law matters. One indicator of an attorney’s ability is whether his or her professional colleagues would entrust their personal affairs in the attorney’s hands. Not every attorney is capable of earning such respect and trust. I would trust Joshua Pops to handle my case, and that is why I wholeheartedly endorse this attorney."
