When my mom had a stroke, and unfortunately due to her diabetes needed to be moved full time to a nursing home, I needed to qualify her for Medicaid, as the cost of proper care is prohibitive. Myrna Fawcett and her team at Fawcett & Fawcett Law did an outstanding job, helping to reallocate my mom's assets and we were able to quickly qualify her for Medicaid benefits. It would be almost impossible for the typical person to get through this process in such a short period of time. Their experience and expertise in dealing with these matters was a godsend for my brother and I. We owe a debt of gratitude to Ms.Fawcett and her team for making this happen in such a timely fashion. Durning this time of great duress for us they helped accomplish everything needed for us as a family. I'd highly recommend Ms. Fawcett to anyone facing a similar situation such as ours.

Ms. Fawcett recently handled setting up my parents estate so they could equally distribute their assets to all eight of their surviving children including myself. Both parents are now in thier eighties and my father is in increasingly poor health. Ms. Fawcett divised a way for my parents so start dividing and distributing that estate while both of my parents were still living. This allowed them the satisfaction of knowing they were able to help each of their children, and in some cases their grandchildren, realize some of their lifelong aspirations.
