Pros
1
Effective in navigating complex legal processes like Medicaid applications and home care coverage
“Michael Pfeifer began working with us the day after the accident. My mother needed legal work done and my father's dementia created complications. By successfully completing her Medicaid application, Mr. Pfeifer ensured my mother would have a full-time aide in her own home.”
2
Provides calm reassurance and a sense of confidence in finding solutions
“Michael Pfeifer provides calm reassurance. You may think you have an unsolvable eldercare problem, but he will show you that you don't. Mr. Pfeifer has a plan.”
3
Excellent communication and attention to detail
“Everything was explained to us and in a way that was easy to understand. We were very impressed with the care that was taken to make sure everything was done perfectly.”
4
Compassionate and goes the extra mile to accommodate clients
“They even came to the house to make it easier on my Dad and my siblings when it came time to discuss and sign documents, showing much compassion and patience.”
5
Highly knowledgeable in elder care and estate planning
“Michael Pfeifer is a leader among Elder Care and Trusts/Estates lawyers on Long Island. As past President of a leading non-profit organization dedicated to the care of our older generations, a frequent lecturer and author of articles, and an experienced practitioner in this arena, Michael truly has his finger on the pulse of the latest developments to benefit his clients.”
Cons
1
Poor communication and responsiveness to client inquiries
“Very poor communication, inaccurate calculations of assets resulting in thousands of dollars of nursing home costs that should have been avoided. Additional documents required after they told us they had everything they needed, and then not responding to emails asking if what we provided was sufficient or not.”
