Amy is my supplemental needs lawyer. She has helped me immensely. She always has my back and fights for me. I highly recommend her!

Me and my parents have hired Amy Delaney to represent us in two different Medicaid applications and for a will and trust. Attorney Amy Delaney fought for us to attain the best outcome allowed under the law. She respects, is considerate, and is highly professional educated at every level. She was the first lawyer I ever hired. When she tells you that she can help you - SHE WILL. When I hired her I thought all was lost but after speaking with her, I finally felt like I had someone who would fight for me. I highly recommend her.

I cannot praise Ms. Delaney highly enough! She is an absolutely amazing attorney, very meticulous, sharp, and detailed oriented, as well as a kind hearted and insightful individual. She is honest and straightforward, taking the time to thoroughly examine the particulars of any situation. She is always on the ball and makes one feel one has gotten the most out of an hour. I have always felt when she arrives she taken time to prepare for issues to be addressed with a diverse background and wealth of knowledge, bringing to the table insights and suggestions I had not considered. Additionally, she takes the time to fully answer any questions sent via emails, without extra charge, which is very reasonable. I have worked with Ms. Delaney for about two years now, and we have gone through the details of multiple issues related to elder law and elder care regarding my parents. With her guidance we have for example addressed the details of Medicaid applications, directing of funds to a particular individual after the sale of a house owned by a relative on Medicaid in order to shield that individual from losing coverage and benefits, as well as the particulars of low income government assistance programs. She would also make sure nursing homes would deduct funds related to parental medical care from monthly social security payments vs. the personal funds of a caregiver, for example. Questions involving social security disability, power of attorney, and the ins and outs of the role of Medicaid in assisted living vs. nursing home, details involving reverse mortgage in relation to Medicaid and ownership of assets, were addressed. Pros and cons of particular government programs, extra help from Medicare, and the ins and outs of such issues as particular types of trusts were also addressed in detail. It is hard to completely disclose all issues addressed, but suffice it to say the numerous particulars of a whole array of situations were addressed in a concise and detailed manner, thanks to Amy's depth of knowledge and experience. As a lady client, I also felt comfortable working with Amy, who has received numerous awards over the years as a renowned and exceptional woman lawyer. Furthermore, I never felt rushed during our sessions, and had the opportunity to not only meet in person but also to speak on the phone if more convenient. I cannot recommend Ms. Delaney highly enough! Her experience, abundance of knowledge and resources, her intelligence and respectful, considerate nature make her an exceptional lawyer to work with. Thank you so much Amy!

Amy and her staff assisted with elder care planning and the Medicaid application process for my mom. I could not have been more pleased with the level of service and personal attention I received. Quite simply - Amy is an outstanding attorney and individual. I found Amy to be thoroughly knowledgable in all aspects of elder care law. Amy was trustworthy, compassionate and extremely responsive. I was always treated as if I were the Firm's most important client. In my opinion there is none better than Amy!

Amy Delaney has been a phenomenal lawyer guiding me through the guardianship process and helping me with multiple facets of elder care. She always responds to my questions promptly. If she doesn't have the answer or deal with a certain aspect, she gets me in touch with someone who can help. Amy will never leave you alone through this tough process. She even checks in on my personal well-being to be sure I am not over-whelmed or feeling lost. She is not just a lawyer but a kind and thoughtful woman. I am thankful every day that I have Amy in my corner to help me through the arduous process of elder law.

Growing up in a blue collar family and being the 1st one in my family to earn a college education as an older adult, Mom was in transitioning into the early-middle stages of Alzheimers. We, the three children were trying to figure out what is the best way to protect our parents retirement savings, as they spent their entire life building. Then one day, a friend of mine suggested seaching for an attorney. That's when we were introduced to Amy DeLaney, CELA and we have never looked back. Each state differs on how they are able to assist each family with their loved one who clearly has become incapable of making ANY decisions or understanding any of the long term consequences. Amy has always had our Mom top of mind, ensuring her quality of life, though declining, protecting Mom in her long-term needs planning while educating and communicating to us, the family. Along this journey, we also learned the Elder laws are changing all the time and we've appreciated Amy staying on top of these changes, incorporating when needed.

Amy's expertise in the Elder law arena has proven to us to be very beneficial as we had to navigate through some challenging issues.. All turned out well because we had recieved such sound legal advice and we could not have been more pleased with Amy and her team

Amy Delaney has worked with my family for several years, helping my husband and I set up a Revocable Trust as well as health care documents we needed. She has always been available to answer any questions that have arisen. She has been even more valuable to me since my husband passed away.

I live in Arizona and my mom didn't want to leave her home in Chicago, although she was suffering from dementia. Amy assisted me in getting guardianship for my mom, setting up a care plan, and kept me in the loop. It was easy for me to communicate with Amy via email and over the phone. She even called me back on weekends and a couple evenings, when important concerns arose. Attorney Delaney exceeded my expectation.

Amy is an excellent lawyer who is more of a teammate than a contractor. She has been an invaluable counselor on estate planning and elder-care issues, and we simply would not feel nearly as safe and secure about our family's present and future without Amy's great work.

Ms. Delaney has been our family attorney for almost ten years, and I have recommended her to several others. She and every other member of her firm with whom we have dealt are extremely prompt in responding to questions, preparing documents, and explaining legal language in a way that we can understand. Don't know where we'd be without her.

I am so glad I was referred to Amy Delaney. She assisted me getting money back from my mother who's caregiver took it from her. Very, very helpful.
