Barbara and her associates put a lot of hard work into getting my mother’s estate in order and then successfully filing for MaineCare assistance. We could never have done it without her help. Barbara set our minds at ease by developing a detailed and well thought out plan for her estate which demonstrated her thorough understanding of just what needed to be done. This resulted in alleviating a great deal of stress for our family in regards to this process. I can only recommend, to anyone who has elder parents, that the first thing they do is contact her and let her help them through the process before it's too late. It may seem like a substantial amount of money at the time but it is money well spent and hard earned by Barbara and her firm. Barbara and her team were responsive both to emails and calls…something that I find to be a rarity these days. It has been a pleasure working with her and I look forward utilizing her services as we move forward with the plan.
I can't thank Barbara enough for her comprehensive and compassionate assistance when my parents needed to move to assisted living. Her depth of knowledge was clear as she guided us through establishing a trust and applying for VA benefits. I was especially impressed by her concern that my parents understood and agreed to the changes we were making, and advised them of their rights. She has continued to be available for ongoing support at our request.
