I'm very impressed with Shalloway, and Brooke Colbert in particular. She was patient, professional, consistent and knowledgeable. The fees are reasonable, and even after a very long delay on my part, Brooke continued to work with me to complete the process with no further charge. I highly recommend.

I was referred to Shalloway and Shalloway by my Corporate and Personal Attorney for 30 yrs. After meeting with Mr. Shalloway I felt very comfotable. He explained everything to me and what was needed by me. I worked with Brooke Colbert one of his Attorneys and others in his office. I would highly recommend this firm for your estate planning.

We just completed our estate planning package (wills, trust, DPOAs, etc.) and were very pleased with the experience. Our attorneys were Mark Shalloway and Jeremy Soffler, and we enjoyed working with both of them. They were generous with their time, advice, and experience, and they and the rest of the staff were very helpful, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We would gladly recommend them.

We were beyond confused about setting up a Trust and called Shalloway & Shalloway to help us through this. They set us up with Brooke Colbert, our lawyer, and she was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable and no question was considered silly. She explained things in a simple manner and really made us feel taken care of. We strongly recommend her and her company if you want to deal with life planning for your financial future.

My family was extremely pleased with Brooke Colbert. Prior to getting in touch with her, we felt very confused about the process of getting our mother approved for medicaid. I would highly recommend hiring Brook and her team to navigate the complicated process. Brooke also took care of all our trust needs, living will, power of attorney and health care surrogate documents. Having her services at our disposal really alleviated our stress during some challenging times. Thank you Brooke.

I want to express my sincere thanks to Brooke Colbert and the rest of the staff at Shalloway & Shalloway for all that they did establishing multiple Special Needs Trusts for my disabled daughter. I am extremely pleased with the final product as a result of their efforts. I am very impressed with the timeliness of their responses, the ease of access as far as questions and the overall efficiency they all demonstrated in this legal matter. Again kudos to Brooke for her expertise in all facets of this matter. I would recommend without reservation utilizing Shalloway & Shalloway if you have a need to establish Special Needs Trusts for a disabled family member. Wm J. Kessler

My husband and I could not be more pleased with the professionalism, care, and compassion shown by attorney Brooke Colbert and the entire team at Shalloway and Shalloway. They know elder care law backwards and forwards and yet demonstrated patience and attentiveness to our every question and concern along the way. Though they do this work day after day, their explanations were clear and they happily reviewed things we might not have completely understood the first time through. I am grateful we engaged them and highly recommend them for your elder care legal needs.

Compassionate, Trustworthy and Patient. Thank you for answering all our questions, creating a financial safety net and helping us navigate through the tough stages of end of life care for those we love.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Brooke Colbert as an attorney , advisor and person. She is very knowledgable and detailed while being calm and reassuring at a difficult time for me. I would enter her office anxious and leave relaxed and confident that my legal concerns were being handled by an expert. I highly recommend her and will continue to be her client for future needs.

As you know, dealing with elderly parents is a very difficult time in a adult child's life. I was referred to Shalloway & Shalloway by a very respected former co-worker. My family was essentially in crisis. My 86 - now 87 year old mother had been in the hospital, transferred to a rehab facility and then the rehab facility, with 48 hours notice, was going to discharge her. The discharge date was on a holiday which made matters worse. We had no where to place here. With Seans help, he helped us navigate everything. As someone who works in higher education which has many rules and regulations - I can honestly say without Seans assistance - not only would we have been lost, we would have made mistakes which I am sure it would have cost us significantly financially. From an emotional side - He helped us get her placed. He handled everything when it came to applying for medicaid, provided us with references in our search for a long term placement for our mother. He was constantly reassuring us that we were doing the right things to ensure my mothers care. He was extremely patient with me (and my family) many questions. Often times, and always patiently, he would explain items multiple times because there were different variables to each situation we encountered. Sean has always responded very quickly to all email inquiries and writes in a manner that explains difficult situations with confidence to ease our concerns of which we have had MANY. I can not say enough about how thankful I am to have been referred to Shalloway & Shalloway and having had Sean assigned to assist with my mothers case. In fact, it has been due to his responsive nature that I have shared your firms name and address multiple times over these past months and will continue to do so in the future.

When my parents relocated to South Florida from New Jersey several years ago, I was at once shocked and overwhelmed to find that their will and other legal documents were sorely outdated and insufficient by current standards. Shalloway & Shalloway compassionately and efficiently advised, sorted out and buttoned up all the details so mom & dad's life long legacy was protected. Many years later when my father felt he wanted to make a few changes, I was stressing over the headache this was going to cause. But my fears were assuaged as attorney Brooke Colbert picked up the proverbial ball and ran with it as if no time at all had passed. She respectfully assured my father his intentions were valid and she swiftly and seamlessly created amendments pursuant to his wishes. Perhaps the most important, and I will even say unique, factor though, is the good people at Shalloway & Shalloway still infuse sensitivity and humanity into the client-attorney relationship - a rare find in today's legal climate.

I spoke with a woman named Grisel at the office and she was so kind and helpful. Even though they were not able to assist me since we live outside of Florida, it was still a pleasant experience, they gave me another resource, and they were quick to get back with me after I submitted an inquiry on their website. They also came highly recommended by another attorney.
