Kirschbaum Law Group, LLC

I will be eternally grateful to the Kirschbaum Law firm, to my key attorneys Anthony and Anna-Liisa, as well as the managing and admin staff, for supporting me through my father's Medicaid application. I was in a very sad, anxious, hopeless place when I called them in the spring of 2024. The managing partner spoke to me kindly and confidently, outlining my options. I will not go into the details for privacy reasons, but it was a very complicated and contentious case. Everyone has been incredibly responsive, supportive, empathetic and generous. All hands on deck. No stone left unturned. My team anticipated all the possible outcomes, all the possible moves on behalf of DSS. The climate is changing. The way Medicaid laws are interpreted is changing. You absolutely need dedicated experts on your side. This is not something you can figure out on your own. Being an elderly law attorney means brainstorming with peers, learning new strategies. Elderly law is one of most complicated and often counter-intuitive legal niches. You don't know what you don't know where you are exposed until something tragic happens. A parent ends up in a nursing home following a medical emergency. You don't know your rights, and the elderly care system doesn't make it a priority to explain them to you. You suddenly find yourself at the mercy of the system. That system is not always functional and it certainly isn't there to protect your interests. Things get lost, fall through the cracks. You need qualified attorneys advocating for you.  I will be forever grateful to Kirschbaum Law for guiding me. On a separate note, if you are reading this, please tell your loved ones to talk to their parents about making arrangements for long term care. Nobody wants to think or talk about it, but it's better to have a few awkward moments on the front end than end up with a huge financial mess in case of a medical disaster.
