During the court hearing, Michael F. Callahan said to me “we are in trouble. The judge asks us to prepare for detailed accounting of my bank transactions.” Apparently, he did not prepare the detailed accounting which she should have for the trial. I ask him multiple times in the email and through multiple conversations to give me an estimate on how much the cost could be to settle the case. But he failed to give me an answer. He charged me three times to review the same case including the initial review and two court appearing's.

I have been in business for twelve years and wrote several hundred contracts and I never seen or witnessed such a talented individual in several minutes negotiate and hand write a settlement agreement with many complexities. I felt Mike hit a home run right out of the ball park, and upon him interviewing me, I can tell he was very comprehensive in his thought process, I would certainly recommend him to anyone, he is a excellent divorce attorney.

My father recently passed away, and my family and I are trying to work out his estate. Mr. King was not very understanding at all for someone who makes a business out of this sort of thing. I could make the analogy of a vulture circling carrion. He was only concerned about how he could benefit. My little sister went in to sign some papers even though she isn’t the representative of my fathers estate. I called to inform them that I would be the one taking charge (of course with the signatures of my siblings) and was snappily told he could not represent me. It didn’t make any sense. He was pompous and very rude. It wasn’t a divorce...my family is working together to settle this, and I am the only adult child. He was snappy and his response made no sense seeing that we are all the same client. Definitely getting someone else!

If you're reading this review, you've probably realized there is no Yelp or Google Reviews for probate lawyers. But if there were, you'd find Barrett Hall extremely highly rated for many reasons. After the tragic death of my brother, I discovered that I was a trustee for his estate. As you might imagine, the aftermath of such a tragedy is fraught with emotion, confusion, and yet all the while, the burden to settle his affairs is urgent. I had absolutely no clue what I had to do other than to hire a good probate lawyer to help me. I found Barrett's name on the Internet, but didn't even know what to ask him to determine if I wanted to work with him. I found a list of about ten questions to ask a potential probate lawyer on an interview. I hesitantly called, Barrett himself answered, and immediately I felt comfortable with his knowledge, experience, compassion, and approachability. I barely made it through a handful of my questions and just knew he was right. During the call and throughout my experience with him, he was never condescending even when I asked him to explain something multiple times. He was able to explain esoteric concepts, making them easily understandable to someone with little background or savvy. Barrett has made the very difficult task of settling my brother's estate about as easy and anxiety-free as possible. He gives you the option of doing as much as you want to do and to call upon him to do the rest. This worked quite well for me because I could do the easy menial tasks and he would do anything that required his considerable expertise. He worked very closely with me and he was readily available and very responsive. He was able to decipher some obscure amendment to the trust, allowing me and my sister to become the exclusive beneficiaries, yielding an approximate $300,000 gain that was intended for us. I was so pleased and impressed with his proficiency, honesty, integrity and easy manner that we are having him revise a dated trust and also naming him future trustee of it as well. I think this is a true reflection and testament to my superlative experience and outcome of hiring Barrett.

I was desperate and contacted Barrett King. Ended up working with both Barrett and his partner Andy., They made me a priority and helped with my case. Because of their assistance my case ended favorably I can honestly say that once I reached Barrett and Andy, I was finally able to sleep!

What a pleasure! He immediately put me at ease and made me feel that I was important! During these tough times with this pandemic I was skeptical to doing a zoom first meeting. Boy was I wrong! Mr. Bobotek was patient, understanding and made me feel like I knew him for the past 25 years. He answered all questions honestly and to the point. I am forever grateful to him. Do NOT hesitate to reach out to him regarding estate planning issues. I know you will not be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark to prepare a testamentary will and trust. My husband and I set this up shortly after the birth of our second child. Mark was warm and friendly, yet very professional. We felt comfortable sharing our concerns and questions with Mark knowing that he had our best interest at heart. For anyone looking for Will/Trust services, I would HIGHLY recommend Mark and his team at Golden Oak Elder Law. Thanks again!!

Dawn has represented myself and my children in a family law matter, for the past five years. The only thing that I wound change is getting her to start the process in the first place. I had a previous attorney and my case was just too complex for him. Dawn was able to take it on with no trouble. Dawn is compassionate towards her clients and she is smart in the court room! She is also honest with you. Basing her information on case law, as opposed to gut, she tells you when she believes something is not going to go your way and why. I appreciate that she does not just tell me what I want to hear and take my money. Instead of stopping there, Dawn has brainstormed and researched ways to resolve our situation, that I had never considered. Ideas that she was certain that she would win in the court room and she has. Dawn listens to her clients wants and needs, while adding her professional wisdom as well. Dawn does not just do what a client says to do, knowing that it will not work or that there are other solutions possible. Dawn discusses with you various ways in which to be successful in your case. What you want walking into her office the first time, may not look exactly the same the last time you walk out of the courtroom. You will, however, have a case that has been won and will have what you and your family both need and deserve. Dawn will be my attorney until my daughter turns 18. I appreciate all that she has done for us.

This firm represented my former partner in a custody case. They repeatedly made basic errors - miscalculating support numbers and simply not understanding the application of law.

My recent experience working with Mr Hunter Daley and Mr Michael Goecke at The Lerch, Early, & Brewer Law Firm was excellent. Never having hired lawyers before, I didn’t know what to expect. From day one Mr Goecke and Mr Daley were very helpful. I got answers, I heard of numerous options, and I left with a feeling of scope; long and short term options were available. Arguments for my side of the case evolved as time went on and I found that very interesting. It’s not what I had expected, but it made perfect sense. In the court room, Daley and Goecke were a great team. I was impressed by how they both thought on their feet. In addition, obviously, they had to have a vast knowledge of the law, but they could express our side of the argument well enough that I could understand it (without a law degree). At the end of the case, after the Judge ruled in our favor, even he commended these lawyers for their understanding of the law and for the depth and clarity of their arguments.

Kevin Joyce was my divorce attorney years ago and did an amazing job. I have recently acquired him again to go back to court, and I couldn't be happier, once again, with his services thus far. Their receptionist, Abigail, is very attentive and quick to get any messages to Kevin and get back with me in a reasonable, timely manner when Kevin isn't readily available. Kevin is VERY knowledgeable and treats my concerns with the utmost of care and respect. He doesn't treat you like just another client, and addresses and acknowledges each and every concern you may have. While some people may not appreciate it, he is very honest and doesnt sugarcoat things to protect your feelings, which I truly appreciate and respect him for, because it better prepares you and your case. I also never feel rushed when speaking with him. If youre looking for a firm where you are respected and listened to, you wont find better than this office.

Justin is an absolute lifesaver! I first retained his services in 2018 while on PBJ (Probation before Judgement) after I'd attempted to fight a previous ticket without a lawyer, upon which I then received a similar stoppage for driving in excess during the 2 year probationary period. I contacted Justin in order to take this to trial for me, to which he told me to, 'simply go to work and he'd handle it.' On his advice I did just that and on the day of the trial I was treated with a resultant email from him that everything had been cleared, I was off PBJ, and the newest ticket had been wiped. The second time I contacted Justin was in 2022 when I'd received a ticket during Covid (in 2020) whose charges amounted to over $500, but trials were delayed due to the pandemic. Again Justin took this to trial for me and on the day of the trial I was again greeted with a message that all of the charges were dropped and that my driving record remained completely clean. I cannot recommend Justin enough! The things he does are just absolutely magical!

Where to start with this amazing human. Zoa Barnes was a blessing that me and my family truly needed. We had a difficult time finding an attorney in our area without a conflict of interest in our case...but it turned out to be a total blessing. I had a very high conflict case and her knowledge of the law and trust in me made all the difference. I will truly forever be appreciative of the guidance and compassion she showed me. My case would have had a totally different outcome if it weren't for her. Truly thankful for her.

First, the one person who gave a bad review is obviously lacking intelligence. The review does not sound like Gerry at all, and spelling the word 'rude' as 'rood' does not help the reviewer's credibility. A while back I had a situation where my ex was filing false charges against me almost monthly in an effort to get custody and support. Just like on TV, Gerry skillfully picked apart my ex's claims and made her look ridiculous in front of several judges. Eventually my ex was told that if I ended up in their court again, SHE would be the one going to jail. If I had been given a public defender, I may have gotten 20 years or more in prison. Because of Gerry, I only spent about 7 days total in jail (one or two days for every time she made false claims to get me arrested). Not only that, Gerry won for me full custody of my children. If you have ANY type of domestic issue, Gerry should be your first call.

What an Elder Law Lawyer Can Do for You

An elder law lawyer specializes in legal issues that affect older adults, their families, and caregivers. These lawyers handle a broad range of topics, including estate planning, Medicaid and Medicare, long-term care planning, guardianship, elder abuse, and retirement planning. The goal of an elder law lawyer is to protect the rights, finances, and well-being of elderly individuals and to help them plan for future healthcare and financial security.

If you or a loved one is aging and facing challenges related to healthcare, finances, or legal matters, an elder law lawyer can provide essential guidance to protect your rights and interests as you age.

When Should I Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?

Hiring an elder law lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where older adults need help with legal, financial, or healthcare-related decisions. Common reasons to hire an elder law lawyer include:

  • Estate planning: If you want to create or update a will, set up trusts, or ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, an elder law lawyer can help with comprehensive estate planning.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: If you need help qualifying for Medicaid to cover long-term care or need advice on navigating Medicare benefits, a lawyer can guide you through the application process and protect your assets.
  • Long-term care planning: If you’re concerned about paying for nursing home care or assisted living, a lawyer can help you create a financial plan and explore options for government assistance.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: If a family member is unable to make decisions due to age-related cognitive issues, an elder law lawyer can assist in setting up legal guardianship or conservatorship to ensure their care.
  • Elder abuse and exploitation: If you or a loved one is experiencing physical, emotional, or financial abuse, an elder law lawyer can help you take legal action to stop the abuse and recover damages.
  • Retirement planning: Elder law lawyers can assist with planning for retirement, including managing pensions, Social Security, and other retirement income.
  • Special needs planning: If you have a disabled family member who requires special care, an elder law lawyer can help create trusts or other legal arrangements to ensure their long-term financial and healthcare needs are met.

What Does an Elder Law Lawyer Do?

An elder law lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to help older adults and their families navigate the complexities of aging, healthcare, and estate planning. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Drafting wills and trusts: Creating legal documents that outline how an individual’s assets will be distributed after death, ensuring that their wishes are honored.
  • Medicaid and Medicare planning: Helping clients protect their assets while qualifying for government benefits to cover healthcare and long-term care costs.
  • Establishing guardianships: Assisting families in setting up guardianship or conservatorship for loved ones who are unable to make decisions due to mental or physical incapacity.
  • Protecting against elder abuse: Investigating claims of elder abuse or financial exploitation and representing the victim in legal actions to stop the abuse and seek compensation.
  • Planning for long-term care: Developing strategies to cover the costs of nursing homes, assisted living, and other long-term care options without exhausting the elder’s financial resources.
  • Managing probate and estate administration: Guiding families through the probate process to ensure that the decedent’s assets are distributed according to the law and their wishes.
  • Setting up advance directives: Helping clients establish healthcare directives and powers of attorney to ensure their medical and financial decisions are carried out if they become incapacitated.

How Are Elder Law Lawyers Paid?

Elder law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many elder law lawyers charge by the hour, especially for tasks such as drafting documents, handling legal disputes, or providing ongoing legal advice. Hourly rates typically range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as drafting a will or setting up a trust, some lawyers charge a flat fee. This can range from $500 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the estate plan.
  • Retainer: For long-term legal representation, such as managing a trust or handling guardianship matters, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal work.
  • Contingency fee: In some elder abuse or financial exploitation cases, a lawyer may work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they recover compensation for the client. This fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or damages awarded.

Be sure to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how you will be billed and what the total cost of services might be.

How Much Does an Elder Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an elder law lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the fee structure. General cost estimates include:

  • Simple estate planning: Drafting basic documents, such as a will or power of attorney, may cost between $500 and $2,000, depending on the complexity of the client’s assets and wishes.
  • Complex estate planning: Setting up more advanced estate plans, such as revocable or irrevocable trusts, Medicaid planning, or special needs trusts, can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more.
  • Guardianship or conservatorship: Legal fees for setting up guardianship or conservatorship often range from $2,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case and whether disputes arise.
  • Medicaid planning: Legal fees for Medicaid planning can range from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the level of asset protection needed and the complexity of the individual’s financial situation.

Always ask for an estimate of fees during your initial consultation to ensure you understand how much the legal services will cost.

Top Questions to Ask an Elder Law Lawyer

Before hiring an elder law lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise needed to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with elder law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's estate planning, Medicaid applications, or elder abuse claims.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the best approach for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your situation and what legal strategies the lawyer recommends.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Whether it’s drafting an estate plan or setting up a guardianship, ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be working on your case directly.
  6. What documents should I bring to the consultation?
    Ask the lawyer what documentation or information you should prepare for your consultation, such as medical records, financial statements, or prior legal documents.

How to Check the Credibility of an Elder Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable elder law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for elder law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in elder law and have experience with cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on elder law issues.
  • Check for certifications: Look for certifications or affiliations with organizations such as the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), which can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to elder law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with an elder law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Existing estate planning documents: If you have a will, trust, or power of attorney in place, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
  • Financial records: Provide details of your assets, including bank accounts, investments, real estate, and retirement accounts, as well as any debts.
  • Medical information: If the case involves guardianship or Medicaid planning, bring relevant medical records that detail the individual's health condition and care needs.
  • Insurance policies: Bring information about health insurance, long-term care insurance, and any other relevant policies.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about your legal needs, the process, and the lawyer’s fees.
  • List of family members or beneficiaries: Prepare a list of the individuals you want to include in your estate plan or who will be affected by the legal process.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and receive the best legal advice tailored to your needs.
