David and staff were patient, supportive and informative with my father and I going over the process of updating and writing a will. Would highly recommend

Very Informative

We've used David's services several times over the years and each time has been a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and his guidance has always been spot on. We never felt rushed; he always takes the time to listen to our questions and concerns and spends the necessary time to explain things thoroughly and makes sure all steps are complete. This has been true whether we were in his office or on the phone with him. He and his staff always are welcoming and receptive. I have the utmost confidence in David's services.

I cannot say enough great things about David Okrent and the team he has assembled. As someone who also works in the senior care industry, I can confidently say Dave and his firm are second to none. From a knowledge standpoint, Dave's many years in the field have equipped him with the answer to just about any question you can imagine about Elder Law. Dave has been recently appointed to the NYS Bar committee for his knowledge and expertise in Elder Law. You cannot find an attorney more dedicated, knowledgeable and respected as Dave and his team. Equally as important, Dave treats everybody with a smile, a joke and an overall extremely pleasant demeanor to work with. I recommend any of our clients, family and friends to Dave for any and all of the services Okrent Law provides. Thanks for all that you do Dave! - Pat Ryan

I am currently going through a truly difficult time with my elderly mother and her diagnosis of Dementia. I called this law firm to schedule a consultation. I said "Good morning, how are you?" and a woman rudely replies "Yeah?" Not a hello or good morning. She was extremely dismissive throughout the conversation. I was stunned by her demeanor and thought I had the wrong number. I truly believe that the initial phone call sets the tone for your experience. Customers can tell when someone doesn't want to answer calls and doesn't want to be helpful. Why allow them to continue answering the phone and have you lose clients? I've read really great reviews about this law office, but will go elsewhere to make sure my situation is handled with regard for my mothers case.

We have relied on David Okrent's services for many years. His expertise is unmatched in the area of Elder Law and he has prepared documents for us many times for many purposes. He also is a wealth of knowledge about many topics and is willing to honestly address any issues. Beyond all of his professional qualifications he is a real pleasure to work with.

David and his staff are very knowledgeable concerning elder law and accounting. His firm was so helpful and eased our concerns during this planning stage . I would highly recommend David and his team.

What an absolute pleasure to have David as our estate attorney. Brilliant, personable man with a great bedside manner. David spent more time talking with us about life in general than he spent on doing paperwork. He never made us feel rushed out of the office. We highly recommend him!!

David Okrent and his team of terrific professionals came to my rescue in helping me manage my mother's application for Medicaid. After my father passed, we set up a trust for my mother with David's counsel. We worked again with Okrent Law when it came time for my mother to apply for Medicaid. Susan Guido, the firm's Medicaid Liaison, is knowledgeable, thorough and professional, and she and David understand the daunting task that a family has to navigate to provide the necessary paperwork for a complete and detailed Medicaid application. With their assistance of locating all the required information, an application was filed that allowed Medicaid to quickly rule on my mother's case so that my family can rest easy knowing that her financial needs are taken care of in her nursing home situation. I would recommend Okrent Law to anyone who asked me about elder care legal needs. Thanks again to David and Susan! Sincerely, RIck Gress, Huntington.
