I was very pleased with the services I received from Elisha for my mother. He was kind, patient and extremely knowledgable with all the questions my mother and I had. I was surprised to find out that he also has a background in accounting and business consulting which helped with our questions regarding medicaid planning and estate planning. He charges a flat rate so my mom could call him as often as she wanted and believe me she called him many times. He was easy to get in touch with and has a way of making you feel at ease. I learned so much from him and it saved my mom a ton of money. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any type of elder care or estate planning. I almost forgot to mention he does home appointments too!

I am so happy I called Elisha. I never thought an attorney could help my mother as much as he did. My family no longer has worries about her care and she feels at ease knowing that Medicaid will not be taking her assets. He was able to get her a home health aide once she went home from the rehab facility. He does home visits and rehab visits, which made things so easy for us and his personality makes you feel at ease. He really cares about his clients. I can't thank him enough so I hope this review is helpful. Don't hesitate to call him.

Mr Wellerstein gave me an abundance of assistance in accessing all the help available to me when my wife was fighting a losing battle with cancer. He prepared disability paperwork for state filings, he put me in touch with agencies for Home Care. I was in kind of a desperate place, and he gave me reassurance and showed compassion. In the end he said he was giving back to the community and did not charge me for the work. But I am not recommending him for that reason, it's for all the other things that I spoke of. He has an easy manner and can quickly gain the confidence of someone in need of his services. He is straightforward, and not pushy in any way. You feel like you have a hundred percent of his attention. He returns phone calls promptly. Highly recommended

Elisha is professional, knowledgeable and he cares! He was able to help us with all of our legal documents after my partner was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I highly recommend Elisha.

A true professional and an expert in his field, Elisha has been patient and thorough not only during the process, but even after – always within reach and quick to provide his guidance and support.

Elisha was truly a lifesaver during the most difficult time of my life!! Not only did he so professionally guide me through the medicaid process, the estate process, and more, he did all of that with a manner and caring that made him feel more like an old friend!!! I cannot recommend him anymore highly. I am extremely grateful to him!!!

We were introduced to Elisha through the ALS Association, when a dear friend was diagnosed and it became clear that she would require extensive care for the long term. The situation was exacerbated when Linda was put on a ventilator. Our main concern was to get Linda home with 24 hour attendance. Elisha helped us navigate the system to obtain the care Linda required and also to deal with a somewhat complex financial situation. He helped us establish a health care proxy, power of attorney, and trusts. We were moved by Elisha's willingness to make visits to the hospital and to Linda's home as necessary and his accessibility to answer questions that arose as Linda's health declined. He continues to help us navigate issues relating to the estate. Now that Linda has passed, we are much relieved to see that Elisha's advice has been so effective. His compassion and dedication to assisting clients with such extensive needs is truly admirable.

My family and I were living overseas before my husband was shockingly diagnosed with ALS/FTD . Moving back to the US to seek better medical attention, we became desperate for help. We didn’t know how the US healthcare system works and we didn’t know who to talk to. In a stroke of luck, we came across Elisha’s name through the ALS New York Association website He was hosting a lecture about Medicare and Medicaid for people with disabilities. We immediately reached out to Elisha, who jumped right into our situation. He knew exactly what we needed to do, and he guided us throughout the process in a compassionate, understanding and comforting way. Elisha was always available to contact in case of any questions, and made sure that our questions were answered. Elisha was respectful and sensitive to our situation, all while being assertive in the best way possible, knowing exactly what we needed to do given our very unique circumstances. Unlike many other attorneys who distance themselves from their client and their situation, Elisha is very personal and empathetic to each of his clients. We trust Elisha completely. We could tell as soon as we started working with Elisha that he truly cares about his clients and wants to help to the best of his ability. We are so grateful that Elisha was there for us, and we would recommend anyone to use Elisha as we did. M-H Dowell

Elisha Wellerstein did a wonderful job of helping my family. He is very knowledgeable about elder care and explained everything thoughtfully. He is also a compassionate human being! He was very considerate to visit my brother while he was in a skilled nursing facility. I would highly recommend him.

Elisha was very helpful and compassionate. Without his help, my Fiancé and I would be lost. He is knowledgeable, very hands on, he actively communicated with us in a clear way, and followed up with us to make sure everything has been running smoothly. He is not only a great lawyer but a good human being, which is something all of us need when dealing with difficult situations.
