Just finished completing our new wills and trusts with Paula and her team. Very impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness to our questions. Paula listened to all our wishes and concerns and created documents that represented what my husband and I wanted. The whole team worked together to make the process easy for us and provide a clear plan for our kids when the time comes. Highly recommend Berkshire Law Group!

Bryan explained everything clearly to us, and made the whole process very easy.

We hired Berkshire Law Group about 7 years ago when my aunt had a sudden change in her health and we were lost on how to navigate the healthcare system for the elderly. Paula came to the rescue and helped us to organize a plan. Within days of my aunt being released from rehab we had a care plan together. Her team has been an amazing support to us throughout the years.

Berkshire Law Group has been AMAZING to work with! Within a few minutes of my initial meeting, I felt at ease, I had so many questions & Paula took the time to answer them & explained things I didn't understand. At the end of the consultation, she reviewed the visit, explained next steps, and gave me a "homework list." I knew that I had a partnership with her. The office keeps in contact with you. The final meeting was handled in the same manner! Bryan answered my many questions & I left knowing I made the right decision to become a client. Highly recommend them for Estate planning!

This is the place to go to for estate planning. Paula made a stressful process very manageable. Everyone in the office is pleasant and helpful.

The absolute best lawyer for Elder Law in Berkshire County! Helped my father with his estate and assets in a caring yet professional manner. I highly reverted Paula and her office

Our family feels so fortunate to have found the Berkshire Law Group. Things happened quickly with my aging parents and my brothers and I were not prepared for the situation. Thankfully Paula, Dawn, and Deb were there to help us every step of the way. They are worth every penny!

I highly recommend Paula Almgren and Berkshire Law Group. We used Paula for our own estate planning back in 2012 and were very impressed with her knowledge and the warmth and professionalism of the entire team. In 2018 when my elderly parents’ estate planning needed to be updated (precipitated by my mother’s fall and quick decline), it was an enormous relief to bring the whole complicated matter to Paula. Among the many decisions that we were dealing with, what became very clear was that we could spend untold hours frantically trying to come up to speed on complicated elder care issues ourselves OR we could instead spend time finding the most qualified elder care attorney and putting our trust there. Almgren Law (now Berkshire Law Group) was the best choice, hands down. What was overwhelming to all of us, was not at all daunting to Paula and her team. She compassionately broke down the estate planning and life care into manageable, prioritized tasks. We were dazzled by the team’s ability to pivot on a dime as our situation rapidly changed. They were always available and always responsive. We were and are so impressed by Paula’s extensive knowledge but equally her kindness, empathy, and gentle humor throughout these years. It has been a pleasure working with her and her team (with a big thank you to Verena & Dawn).

We can't recommend Berkshire Law Group enough! They were fantastic throughout the process of helping us navigate a complex situation for our mother. From the very beginning, the team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything in terms we could understand, and they were always patient with our questions (and there were many!). They were very responsive to our calls and emails, and patient with our decision making process which was a huge relief during a stressful time. Their expertise in estate planning gave us peace of mind knowing we were making the best decisions for our mother's future. Overall, Berkshire Law Group made a complex situation much easier to manage. They took a huge weight off our shoulders and gave us the confidence that our mom will be well cared for. If you're looking for an elder law group, I highly recommend giving them a call!

In 2021, it became very apparent I needed a Massachusetts estate planning attorney and family law firm to help with multiple matters. Being from out of state, I knew no lawyers in the Berkshires not to mention an arduous selection process searching for an experienced lawyer and firm. I narrowed my search to attorneys and firms in central and south Berkshire County. With little knowledge, I first contacted Berkshire Law group. After an initial phone call, her team recognized the urgency and immediately arranged for a virtual meeting during the pandemic. They took total charge of my family and estate legal matters as well as elder care needs. After the initial call with the firm’s paralegal, Dawn, and later Zoom session with Paula Almgren, Esq., I had total confidence in their ability to help. I have used Paula and Berkshire Law Group again in 2023 and 2024 to help with other estate document planning changes and related matters. They made my life easier and it was a pleasure working with them. Big thanks to Paula, Dawn, Verena and the entire team for helping me through difficult times and with very successful conclusions. I highly recommend Berkshire Law Group.

I cannot say enough about Paula and her staff. They helped us navigate through all the stages of my parents senior journey. Wills, nursing homes, independent and assisted living, medicaid and estate settlement. They did it all. In every stage they were there for us in a professional and caring manner.

Paula Almgren at Birkshire Law Group is smart, friendly, and a master of her craft. She is dedicated to the profession and takes good care of her clients. I highly recommend her for your estate planning and elder law needs.
