James initially did my parents Wills, Medical Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Powers of Attorney for Property. After my father passed away he helped get my mother qualified for Medicaid by setting up a Beneficial Trust for her. This is an arduous process which he and his staff walked me through and handled with aplomb. He has great knowledge of Elder Law in Illinois, the “infrastructure” around it (Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, support services for the elderly, etc.), and connections to the Elder Law Community. Though he may not be the least expensive lawyer, you get what you pay for - his and his staff’s expertise and professionalism are well worth every dollar. I highly recommend James for anyone needing Elder Law services.
James is a wonderful attorney who is very knowledgeable. I was in a situataion over my late husband's estate that had gone on far too long. Once I hired James the situation was resolved quickly and favorably. After I spoke with him the first time I knew this was a man I could trust and would get results.
I want to thank James Siebert and JCSLAW for their professionalism, effective communication, and knowledge. James and Page Fox handled my case with ease and made me feel very comfortable every step of the way; they both are extremely diligent and hard-working. JCSLAW does not only care about the legal outcome of their clients’ but also their well-being, I’d highly recommend their services.
Paige and James are an incredible team! I was in a very complicated and uncertain predicament both financially and legally. I had a tragic situation that took my father's life, my mom was extremely ill and living in an outragelously expensive nursing home. I had met with 4 estate planning attornies before I found Paige and James and every single one basically told me there was nothing they could do for me. (and charged me a lot to tell me no and nothing!!) I was an emotional mess, exhausted and confused. I called a 5th attorney who couldn't help me because she didn't handle Lake County, but referred me to James Siebert. I met with James and Paige to discuss my situation. They didn't tell me no, they said maybe and we will have to see. They gave me multiple options to my senairos and advised me on what they felt was the best way to handle each issue I was faced with. I listened to them, I did what they suggested. Fast forward almost two years later and the outcome was more than I had ever hoped for. I am so grateful for them. They truly are amazing, both as compassionate people and legal experts. I give them the highest recommendation.
Based on my experience, The Law Office of James C. Siebert & Associates, P.C. has extensive knowledge and resources in the practice of elder law, will listen to your concerns, evaluate your individual situation, and determine how to best meet your needs. I reached out to James for legal help after years of caring for my mother with Alzheimer's at home while also dealing with my Parkinson's. James was quick to assess our situation and present options from which to create a plan of action to meet our immediate and future needs. James directed our assembly of required documentation from multiple sources for previous five years, advised on and supervised sale of our rental house, and coordinated tax planning for maximum financial benefit. He recommended options for distribution of funds, including gifting and special needs trusts applicable to my mother and myself, that allowed for immediate additional assistance to my mother and provided for my future disability needs. James was also successful in filing Medicaid application for my mother. Based on his experience, plus his direction and help in assembling supportive documents, the result was quick approval of Medicaid benefits. I highly recommend James C. Siebert as a knowledgeable, experienced elder law attorney who will provide a personal response and legal action to meet your unique needs
James prepared our family trust when my father was still alive. He took the parts of a broken, possibly invalid, definitely unenforceable trust (prepared by others) and turned it into a trust, that was valid, enforceable and accurate for what we needed to accomplish. He listened, advised, communicated and executed. James is a true professional in his field. After my father passed and everything went exactly as planned, I was fully confident in retaining James to prepare a will, trust, and estate plan for me. I would use his firm in the future and highly recommend him to others.
James has been our lawyer for 27 years and we are not interested in looking for anyone else. We've refered family members to him for their legal needs and they have been as pleased as us. He's done home sales, wills, trusts and answered all of our legal questions no matter how small. He is great, he's not out to get any and every penny from you , he is more interested in taking care of the client. He's laid back, does not put pressure on you to do something you're not comfortable with. He's great at explaining things and helping make decisions that are the best for you. James is great!
Mr. Siebert helped our family during a difficult time. He helped us with our powers of attorney and our wills. He did a wonderful job and did it very quickly and diligently.
James has been handling our legal matters for many years and we have always been more than satisfied with his efforts on our behalf. He has handled some extremely difficult and unusal matters for us. We would highly recommend him.
Mr. Siebert assisted me with the care of my elderly parents. I was moving them into my home to care for them, selling their home, and my father, at the time had spent about 6 months in a nursing home recovering from a broken hip. He advised me in regards to Medicaid, Medicare, issue with the nursing home, selling their home, and everything related. Mr. Siebert shared very objective views with me, making sure I realized how hard it would be to take care of my father, who now could not walk on his own and was suffering from dementia. I felt that he was not only looking out for my parents but for me and my immediate family as well.
