June 5, 2017 by Gideon Law

Nursing home care has been on the rise for some time now, and the average costs for that care now exceed $200 a day in many places around the country – with monthly costs ranging from $6,000 to more than $10,000. Unfortunately, most seniors cannot afford those kinds of expenses, and many have little choice other than to rely upon government programs like Medicaid to help cover the cost. The problem is that Medicaid’s eligibility standards are so strict that seniors can sometimes struggle to meet … [Read more...] about Can You Avoid the Need for Emergency Medicaid Strategies?

John Potter has been a real pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a very simplistic manner so the average person can understand how/why the laws are written. He is very attentive and asks questions in such a way that not only helps him understand your goals, but also helps you think about what type of goals and expectations you should be considering. Exemplary client service.
