Helpful and Kind Assistance

Mr. Rosenkranz was very helpful in assisting with questions associated with the Medicaid Diversion program and the VA,, and providing creative ideas on how we may enrich the lives of our elderly population while they are residing in long term care. Thank you so much for your kind assistance.

Posted by Elizabeth | October 04, 2012 | Elder Law

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 o...ur 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.

I found a Jewel

I live in Massachusetts and my parents lived in Florida. Rosenkranz Law was recommended to me by a prominent Boston Elder Law attorney. After my father passed away my mother would not move north and I needed to ensure her care in Tampa. In addition to arranging care from this distance I needed to ...find all my options for support, health care and eventually Medicaid. I can't even begin to express my satisfaction and gratitude to Jack and his team. They informed me about support opportunities I was not even aware existed. They not only advised me how to set up my mother's records, but they walked me through the application process so I could apply for aid that was due to my mother. Whenever I had a question, they were always there with an answer and if necessary, recommendations. When it came time for a nursing home Jack and his team were there. They helped me prepare the financials and they navigated through the labyrinth of social services on my mother's behalf. When there was a problem, Jack literally made a federal case out of it, and prevailed. Jack's team is not only professional, but also compassionate. When it came time to do paperwork that required my mother's signature Jack went to the nursing home to meet my mother. She always remembered what a nice, friendly man the lawyer was that came to see her. My mother bounced back and forth from assisted living to nursing home and this caused some interesting insurance issues. Jack's team was always on top of it. After my mother passed away there were some billing disputes, and that is not a time when you can concentrate or deal with those types of issues. It was such a comfort to have Jack settle those problems to my satisfaction. Basically, they knew who to talk to - when I didn't. They knew what they were supposed to say, what forms needed to be filed and how; and as importantly, what NOT to do. I did not. I live in Massachusetts and together we got it done. I don't know what I would have gone through without them. I found a jewel.

My Mother's Estate Planning

I fully endorse Jack Rosenkranz. Jack is an excellent lawyer evident by his professionalism, knowledge, and experience in the field of Elder Law. His followup and responsiveness was beyond our expectations and he clearly did everything possible to achieve the best possible outcome with regard to my... Mother's estate planning. We would not engage anyone other than the Rosekranz firm

Handling my father's affairs

Not too long after my father being diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, we visited Mr. Rosenkranz to get my father's will and estate needs in order. Given that my father was a veteran, Mr. R. was able to counsel us on additional funds that were available from the government to help pay for his care (...funds we didn't know were available). When my father was eventually hospitalized, Mr. R. and his staff answered questions that the hospital (and subsequently the skilled nursing home) were either unable or unwilling to answer, thus saving us grief and money. When my father ultimately went to live in a Memory Care Assisted Living Center, Mr. R helped to make sure the insurance company paid our claim against the long term care policy. When my father was getting closer to passing, he advised us to seek assistance from hospice earlier than I or the Assisted Living Center had thought of, thus getting my father additonal personal care he required and saving us additional money on drugs my father was taking of which hospice picked up the cost. Lastly, after my father passed, Mr. R. was there to answer even more questions regarding how to handle my father's affairs and estate issues. I highly recommmend the Rosenkranz Law Firm as they made a difficult time for our family much much easier - anyone of retirement age (or who has parents of retirement age) should call Mr. R!

"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."

"I have known Jack for three years. He has been practicing Elder Law for 22 years. He is one of the pioneers of this field in Florida. I met him while I was attending an Elder Law seminar at which he was speaking. I immediately found him to be knowledgeable about Medicaid and VA Benefits planning and I found him to be an easygoing and amicable person. I would imagine he easily develops a rapport with his clients and their families. I have conferred with Jack on Medicaid planning matters on a few occasions and he finds the best solution to the client's problem. I recommend him without hesitation for Medicaid planning, VA Benefits planning and general estate planning needs."

"Jack Rosenkranz is one of the most selfless and inspiring people I have ever met. He truly cares about justice and is committed to the rights of his clients. Now, more than ever, Florida's elderly are in need of advocates like Jack Rosenkranz. The elderly and disabled are especially vulnerable considering the complex nature of medicare/medicaid benefits, resident rights, and other concerns unique to each client. It is important to have advocates like Jack on their side to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. I cannot say enough about Jack Rosenkranz and the world would be a better place if all lawyers were like him."
