Joanne Schlenk McAvey and her crew worked tirelessly with me get Medicaid for my Aunt. It took 3 months of sleuthing and many phone calls to accomplish the job. I highly recommend Joanne.

I began my relationship with Ms. McAvey as an Executor for a family members' estate. I was very impressed with her knowledge and the care she gave to the family. I retained her services to plan my own estate. I am grateful for the piece of mind. My family will not meet with any complications when the time comes.

From the moment my sibling, my mother and I sat down with Joanne to update mom's will and trust she has been there for us. Joanne explained (patiently thank god), every step of the way how to proceed, especially when it came time to apply for community medicaid applications, veteran applications etc. and helped so much with all the paperwork which could prove, understandably so, overwhelming. Even now going through all the estate paperwork Joanne has been in constant communication with me as she always has, with every step and every filing she does. Her whole team is aces!! I have recommended her to coworkers and friends. I, myself will be sitting down with her to do my own will. You cannot find someone who is more caring and looking out for her clients than Joanne!

Rock star of elder care law describes Joanne. She managed my parents through the trust and power of attorney process and assisted my mother with issues after my father passed. I then depended on her when my mother was placed in a nursing home and required Medicaid. She is thorough and compassionate. She was very responsive and patient to my numerous questions and obstacles that I had throughout the process. I strongly recommend her for any Elder Care legal needs.

Notably professional, compassionate and responsive are all ways I would (and have) described the legal services Joanne has provided for my Aunt and I. Of the 5 lawyers I have hired and worked with this year Joanne stood out as the only one who was pleasant to deal with, truly cared about her work and would respond clearly to my questions within a reasonable amount of time. I will continue to work with her for all of my legal needs in Long Island moving forward, as will my Aunt. Thanks Joanne!

Working with Joanne was a wonderful experience. She is extremely knowledgeable and she pays close attention to detail. The best part with working with Joanne is her ability to connect with her clients. She is compassionate and truly cares about her clients. She is always accessible, even on one occasion she called me on a Sunday because she knew that was my only day off. We could never of gotten through without her. I would highly recommend her as an elder care lawyer.

Joanne handled my parents' estate planning and eldercare management for many years She treated them and myself as if we were her own family. She is a very caring person and she is committed to helping her clients in any way possible. Because of her, my mom and dad were able to transition to Medicaid. She assisted in the sale of their home. She returned our calls promptly and went out of her way to be thorough and precise. She is a thoughtful and compassionate person. She is highly skilled at the complicated financial dilemmas that come along with the care of the elderly. I consider her part of my family and would never go to anyone else for advice.

Mrs. McAvey has represented me and my mothers estate for the last 7 years. She has guided me through some very difficult times. She goes WAY BEYOND her responsibilities to help you get through the elder care estate planning process, which can be burdensome and complicated. She is also extremely emotionally supportive. If you are living with an elderly family member with advanced Alzheimers like I do, she understands the difficulty and the toll it takes on the caretaker. She has provided me so much emotional support and understanding that I truly believe I could not get through the process without her. If you are looking for an Elder Care Estate Planning Attorney, Mrs. McAvey is your "Go To"!

Joanne S. McAvey has helped our family through two generations of elder care planning. Highly recommended.

Joanne is a fabulous Eldercare Attorney. She helped me and my brother with my parent's estate and helped us navigate the Community Medicaid maze. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive to detail and compassionate. We will continue to use her for my parent's legal affairs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly competent Eldercare Attorney.
