Mindy is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. We had a very positive experience with her and I highly recommend her services.

Mindy takes time to explain all the options, and the advantages and possible disadvantages, of each option. This was very helpful in seconding the best way to go.

I strongly disagree with reviews that dismiss Felinton Elder Law as a sales scam. For the past five years, Mindy has worked with three generations of my family on many elder-related issues such as wills, POA's, health-related documents, and, especially, various types of estate planning trusts. Elder care legal considerations are, by their very nature, complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Through all of our interactions, Mindy has balanced the professional and the personal, more than once going our of her way to make last-minute personal accommodations and document changes necessary for our peace of mind. She has gotten to know our entire family: from my late father, to my wife and myself, and now our sons. (And yes, we all enjoy the warm reception her office staff and her canine companions Scruffy and Princess provide at each appointment.) So, if you are looking for quick, cheap elder-related legal packages that promise the world, look to the Internet for shake-and-bake, cut-rate legal advice of dubious value. That's where you will find your scams! Otherwise, if you are ready to be realistic about the hard, emotionally charged work of end-of-life considerations, Felinton Elder Law, with its years of experience, is the real thing.

Mindy Felinton helped my parents prepare their legal documents and set up a trust. She not only explained everything with great care and patience, but she treated us like family. Her main concern was that my parents and I were comfortable with each step. Mindy's professionalism and knowledge are equally matched with her smiles and stellar personality. She is a true blessing to our family and finding her was answered prayer!

Mindy was recommended by our doctor and I'm so glad I found Mindy. She updated all Mom's end of life paperwork and set up trusts was well. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and efficient. Every time I called or emailed for help she replied the same day. Mindy gave my family expert advice with kindness and understanding.

Mindy helped us through establishing a trust for my mothers assets. We had never really even considered this and Mindy walked us through the process, asking questions to consider that we had not thought of and detailed how the trust worked and how we should use it.

I cannot imagine a better attorney experience than the one our family had with Mindy. She has such extensive expertise in elder law and SOLELY because of this our family was able to keep my mother in the wonderful nursing home she was in for close to 2 years before she passed away. This took a tremendous burden off our shoulders and helped us immensely during a very stressful process. Mindy and her very accommodating and friendly staff were always available to answer any questions we had in a timely manner, in fact, almost immediately after sending an email or a call. If an appointment was needed there was always a time you could be seen. She truly deserves the five star rating I gave her, and I will always be indebted to her for all her professional and kind help.

It was very daunting understanding and having to take on this project of getting my husband eligible/approved for Medicaid Medical Assistance whilst in a nursing home, and at the same time protecting some personal assets I turned to the Felinton Law Firm and during the initial contact with Mindy I felt an immediate sense of relief that I made the right decision to have her take on our case. Her track record of delivering what she promised speaks for itself! If you need an attorney to help navigate the Medicaid system, get you eligible and approved for Medicaid MA LTD Care for your loved one the law firm of Mindy Felinton is it.

I was referred to Mindy by a mutual friend and I'm so glad to have met her. She helped me with establishing a trust and getting my estate paperwork in order. I've been thinking about getting all this done for years. Mindy made it happen. Very organized, methodical, pleasant, easy to talk, dependable, knowledgeable and a total pleasure to work with. I appreciated her help and straight forward approach.
