Reviews

Having witnessed the difference that elder-law attorneys made in the lives of our parents, we did not need to be convinced that we would seek assistance from a highly recommended elder-law attorney when our time arrived. We recently sought the assistance of Judith Grimaldi, who had been highly recommended. Judith Grimaldi and her staff were ethical, compassionate, and very accessible. With updated end-of-life documents completed, we are grateful for the recommendation that directed us to Judith Grimaldi and we enthusiastically recommend her to others.

I have worked with Judith Grimaldi for several years over various incarnations of the legal documents necessary in my life. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. The atmosphere in the office which she shares with two other attorneys, equally qualified I am sure, is relaxed and collegial. People matter here. I'm not crazy about having to attend to this stuff but if you've got to take care of business, this is a really good place to do it.

Very knowledgeable.

I would recommend attorney grimaldi without hesitation. She has incredible knowledge and understanding of all aspects of elder law and estate planning. She was readily available to answer all of my questions which arose during the process, in a timely fashion. She was sensitive and compassionate in helping my elderly mother in law and us during a difficult transition in her/our lives

Truly thankful to Joanne Seminara, Esq and Angela Choy, Paralegal. I was at my "wits end" trying to maneuver the Medicaid MLTC process for my Mom. I met with Joanne and immediately felt at ease. With compassion she explained a clear and concise plan how to move forward. Angela communicated with me in detail and kept me abreast throughout the process. She responded promptly to all my questions and concerns. I am extremely pleased Mom finally got the services she so desperately needed.

I retained Grimaldi & Yeung to prepare and submit a Medicaid application for nursing home care on behalf of my mother. During the process, it was determined that my sister and I should place my mother's house in a revocable trust, something I had not considered. I was glad Grimaldi & Yeung had the expertise to suggest it. During the process, Angela Choy was the lead representative working on the application. At every step, Angela kept me informed and answered any questions I had , no matter how naïve. And whenever Angela was unavailable, Lisa Tza was there to assist me and was very capable. My overall experience was extremely positive and I will retain them in the future for any legal matters I may have that they handle.

Pauline Yeung - Highly recommended: very professional, thorough, caring and patient, any questions sent by email were answered timely

Pauline Yeung-Ma and Angela Choy will patiently guide one's family through the details and documenting needed for elder care and estate planning. They are very professional and experienced in making sure every detail is handled with patience and compassion. Highly recommended!

We hired Judy to help us get 24 hour care for my Mom. Our calls and letters to her MLTC provider did not result in anything so I sought an assistance of an attorney. My brother who was initially very skeptical has completely changed his opinion after the initial consultation with Judy where she clearly explained the challenges we faced, the course of action she planned to take and possible outcomes. She was with us 200%. She is skillful, thoughtful, professional and compassionate. After less than two months, we received 24 hour care. Judy was recommended to me by someone who also had issues with elder care for her parent and whenever someone asks for an attorney to represent elder patients, I strongly recommend Judy. We got the result we wanted at the cost that Judy estimated, no unpleasant surprises.

Since 2002, I have been a client of Grimaldi & Yeung and have always found the attorneys and staff at Grimaldi & Yeung to be very knowledgeable and superior in the fields of estate planning, Elder Law, and Medicaid. I was well informed throughout the process and felt very comfortable with my attorney, Pauline Yeung-Ha, and I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. I would highly recommend Grimaldi & Yeung to members of my family and friends, as I have in the past.

I practically never review businesses. However my parents worked with this firm based on my two childhood friend's referral whom are both attorneys. They referred Pauline and it began with promise. But this firm steadily lost our respect. Once they completed their templated tasks and are paid in full, they ignored my mother's request for additional information because my father death occurred before she was able to complete her estate planning. To be frank, this firm and the partners' sole priority is to gain new client business only. It is a mill for new packaged estate planning. Naturally. Because there is a limitation on life expectancy. After your first consul, you'll seldom see the partners themselves unless you're paying their hourly. And rather than deal with their current clients, the partners spend more time in senior homes and centers pitching what you need in your later years. But what you won't get is the sincere respect that your parents or you deserve in your elder years. You will find as good if not better and more attentive consultation from smaller or individual elder attorneys. My mother's new elder attorney is an example of this. And my attorney friend's will not be recommending this firm again. Good luck in your search.
