Reviews
From a personal referral in 2009, my mother and I consulted with Elder Attorney, Ruth Phelps. My mother was in her late eighties and worried about the expense of long term nursing care for her husband, my father. Immediately upon our initial consultation, Mrs. Phelps compassionately and patiently took care of all my mother’s concerns. This gave my mother a comfort and feeling of security that she was not otherwise able to obtain. Three years later, when my mother suffered a stroke, Ruth Phelps quickly stepped into action again to protect our family’s interests. In the months after my mother died, Mrs. Phelps and her firm expertly handled the trust affairs including property deed transfers plus other government issues. All these varied and complex matters were completely addressed, insuring us the best possible outcome. As was the case with my mother, the value of her services was immeasurable. I highly recommend Ruth Phelps’ services and have done so to my friends and other members of my family.
