HIGHLY recommended. Extremely knowledgable, sensitive, responsive, and incredibly helpful.
Mr. Rosenkranz was recommended to my family during some very complex issues concerning my elderly parent. For that I will always be grateful!
For quite some time, our family had been struggling with a situation involving my elderly parent and his companion. We tried to manage these issues on our own, and it only resulted in anger, frustration, and certainly a failure to know exactly how best to deal with everything. This involved estate planning, future health care, managing issues with a non-marital partner and her family, eligibility for assistance with medical care, among many other issues surrounding elder law and elder care. We were also dealing with two unrelated families (ours and Dad's companion's), in two different states. Without Mr. Rosenkranz' expert knowledge and actions, we would have ended up in a terribly disastrous and contentious situation. His attention to detail has continued to serve us well over the past few years. All that he did prepared us for the events and situations that develop from year to year.
Mr. Rosenkranz is not only extremely competent and knowledgeable, he is also compassionate, caring, and an excellent listener. He expertly listened to all of our input and concerns, and then methodically evaluated the situation. I would never have thought of some of the actions that he recommended, and now, years later, they were the absolute best things for us.
My family and I have found peace and comfort since engaging Mr. Rosenkranz. We have had him on retainer for a number of years, and he has always been ready to answer our questions. We can highly, highly recommend to anyone who is dealing with elder care or elder legal issues - please talk to Jack Rosenkranz! Don't struggle trying to manage all of this alone. Let the trained, educated, experienced expert get you through it. If you are anywhere in Florida, make the effort to seek out Mr. Rosenkranz. He also has a wonderful staff who are responsive and helpful.
My husband and I would like to thank Mr. Jack Rosenkranz of Tampa, FL for the superb work he did in getting the State of Florida to pay the Medicaid owed my mother for six months of nursing home care in 2010.
The state had denied my mother's application for 2010 on the grounds that we had not established and funded a QIT (Qualified Income Trust) by the deadline of December 31, 2010. My mother passed away in early January 2011. The QIT was set up but we had just missed the deadline for funding it. We had short notice and were doing business from out of state. The attorney who wrote the QIT for us referred us to Mr. Rosenkranz, whom she knew to have done successful work with fair hearings for Medicaid denials involving QITs and (specifically) VA payments of Aid and Assistance. According to the State of Florida, my mother's VA Aid and Assistance put her income above the poverty line, which required that she have a QIT.
Mr. Rosenkranz pointed out to us what he had discovered in his research for other clients: that my mother was not required to have a QIT because Veteran's Aid and Assistance was not to be counted as qualified income. The State of Florida was in error. He showed us a successful judgment he had recently won for another client based on
resolving the same error.
We gave Mr. Rosenkranz our case. We received judgement in our favor this month. In our opinion, Mr. Rosenkranz is brilliant, unflagging in his research, and extremely adept in leveraging his knowledge. He is also very good at explaining arcane legal situations to clients.
I was born and raised in Tampa, went to school at Gorrie, Wilson and Plant. Traveled out of state for college and law school because I knew I would return to the Tampa Bay Area to live.
I grew up in the law. My grandfather, father, and younger brother all became lawyers.  There are over 25 lawyers in my extended family.  In 1991 I opened my own lawfirm, and limited my practice to Health Care Law for Elders. Elder Care Law is a blessing to practice and I work with very interesting clients and famlies.
I enjoy my work and make elder care better by helping families stay in control of their care. I believe that there are three universal truths in elder care law.
1. When they say it is not about the money, it always is. This is often a concern with the expense of long term care. With planning it may be possible to control costs.
2. The person who travels the furthest causes the most trouble, or is known to be an instrument of change. Distance and Time cause family members to make fast changes without planning due to a need of a new care plan.
3. I will do anything for mom. There are somethings you are not the best person to preform. Knowing when to ask for help and what is rights for you are not easy to determine.
Of course your family is the exception to the above rules. If I can be helpful, I will let you know. If I am not the right person for the job I will help you find the right one.

Florida Medicaid denial
Mr. Rosenkranz is the best family lawyer our family had for a Medicaid process. We are very grateful for the help we received from him. He fought tirelessly for our family, in a case that almost took 6 and he succeeded. His services exceeded our expectations. At any time of need and questions, Mr. Rosenkranz was available to help our family with high level of professionalism. Our family will always be grateful to you.
We highly highly recommend Mr. Rosenkranz!!!

Best Lawyer I've ever come across.
Jack is beyond amazing. His attention to detail is incredible. His staff and his personal detailed touch are everything we wanted. I first went to Jack when my mother went into a nursing home. Afterward, he handled several legal matters for my wife and me with ease. If you are ever looking for an attorney who is professional, cautious, courteous, and just plain knowledgeable about your legal needs, I can recommend no other than Jack Rosenkranz.

Excellent Leadership in Elder Law
I highly recommend the Rosenkranz Law Firm for Elder Law and Estate Planning. Our senior family member experienced an unexpected medical catastrophe. No one was prepared. Jack Rosenkranz and his team of experienced professionals gave careful attention to numerous issues and in a few days presented a detailed analysis and comprehensive plan for addressing a complex situation. Their competent, compassionate, efficient handling of all problems went beyond contract duties and became exemplary. I would not hesitate to engage the Jack Rosenkranz Law Firm should future need arise.

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Professional, Excellent Information `Provided
Mr. Rosenkranz and his team are so knowledgeable and helpful. We are so grateful for all the work done to handle our parents affairs. We consulted with them just in time, hoping to keep my parents comfortable at home as long as possible. We had many concerns, not having a lot of money to work with, we discovered that the fees for services more than worth it. Mr. Rosenkranz’s knowledge was invaluable, guiding us to resources and choices that resulted in saving us several times more than the fees in the first year. That was minor to the relief of creating a plan to care for our parents that transitioned from home to assisted living. Also assisting us to prepare for what we may need next.
The team was there for us when we needed them, the support to evaluate and find resources made it easier. The empathy was the extra mile that touched us most. They exhibited concern that we understand the possible results of choices we had, before we decided upon the arrangements to be put in place. They truly care and have reduced so much stress for our family.

Our mother of 93 has just passed. Jack and his staff provided superb guidance through Federal and State programs, estate management and familial concerns. Always patient with our large family, generous with time and knowledge, and having a genuine concern for our Mother's well-being, his office shared the responsibility for our ability to provide a safe and comfortable end of life experience for her. We are grateful for his efforts and excellent staff assistance. We recommend his office without hesitation.

Outstanding Service
I was nearing the 11th hour of seeking long term care for my elderly mother. I selected this Firm based on the online reviews. This is one of the best decisions I ever made. From the initial appointment I knew that Mr. Rosenkranz was someone I could rely on to reach my goals. I was provided a detailed plan on how the goal would be attained. Mr. Rosenkranz and his Legal Assistant guided me through every step until conclusion. I am both happy and relieved that my mother now has long term nursing care. The Rosenkranz Team delivered as promised.

Caring expert help
The Rosenkranz Law Firm was most helpful to my family during a difficult time. My adult daughter is disabled and we wished to establish a safety net for her. Mr. Rosenkranz entire staff was approachable and readily answered the myriad questions and concerns we had related to her Medicare, Social Security benefits and a survivor benefit awarded to her. We are grateful for the assistance and immediate communication (within 24 hours if not sooner) afforded to us. Thanks to his professional expertise we have established trusts for my daughter which helped her to secure her future safety net. I cannot recommend Mr. Rosenkranz highly enough and have not hesitated to do so at several Eldercare events that I have attended.
Thank you Jack, Rachel and Brooke and all of your staff.

Should have gone to him first!
Attorney Rosenkranz was awesome! After having some personal challenges completing business with another attorney, Attorney Rosenkranz jumped right in "with incredible patience" and met my family's needs. He took time to research specific matters instead of just giving answers to appease me. His counsel was informative, his work exceptional, and his patience phenomenal. Most importantly, I trust his counsel. He is the attorney one would need to ensure quality of life and estate planning are done according to one's desires and expectations.

Mr. Jack Rosenkranz covered bases in my mother’s estate planning which I would have never thought of. He did a very thorough job and left no stone unturned. I am very pleased with Mr. Rosenkranz’ work product and would highly recommend him to everyone. He is well worth every penny of his fee… P.S. Mr. Rosenkranz also found an additional $326 per month benefit she will now be receiving for life. Therefore, this lawyer didn’t cost us anything, we made money going to him…. Cheers

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jack and his superb team of experts
Jack Rosenkranz and his excellent team have taken care of my parents (estate planning, applying and getting approved for Medicaid) for the last 10 years. We cannot say enough great things about how diligent they are in resolving eldercare issues. Not only did they get my father on the Medicaid program - but now they have gotten my mother approved for Medicaid as well. Brook Crumrine is the most compassionate, calm and caring advocate as the 'elder care coach' and handles all issues for the patient while they are in the various facilities - be it Independent Living / Assisted Living or Nursing Homes. Rachel Iampieri, the senior paralegal in the office, is fast and efficient - always returns emails and phone calls in a timely fashion.
If you need an eldercare attorney - there is none other than Jack Rosenkranz. You will be well taken care of!!

The Best Attorney in the area for Elder Law
After a search for an Elder Law attorney, three different families referred us to Jack Rosekranz. My family hired him to create a trust for my father who was in a nursing home. He and his team had up to date professional knowledge of the laws, local, state and federal, which was impressive. The quality of service we received was excellent. We were kept informed of the progress of our case often in words and terms we could understand. He has also won many awards for his advocacy of Elders. I highly recommend his law firm for any Elder Law service you may need.

"I sought out Jack's representation to assist my Mom, and our entire family really, when my Dad's condition became unmanageable for my family. As an attorney myself I thought, for a fleeting moment, I could handle things. Simply put, I was wrong. Jack, and his excellent staff, guided us through the most uncertain and trying time in our lives. Jack did so with a dependable and steady hand, obviously built on years of quality experience. It's been almost 2 years since we first walked into his office and I am continually impressed with Jack's vast breadth of knowledge in the area of Elder Law, but perhaps more importantly, I am impressed with the way in which he administers that knowledge. Thoughtful, caring, responsive. Thanks, Jack."
