My parents first hired Almgren Law many years ago to help them plan their estate. Since then, Paula Almgren and her amazing team have guided our family through all the changes that have occurred. After my father passed away, they were ready to assist us again in changes to the estate and Paula helped us with our questions about finding an assisted living home for our mother. Finally, Paula was able to help us apply for my father’s VA benefit to help with her living expenses. There is no question in my mind that without Almgren Law, things would have turned out very different for my mother and our family.

We chose Paula to represent my mother once we knew our funds were running out and we needed more help with estate planning and creating a long-term care plan for her. This would involve a Trust and other estate planning documents. Paula was going to help us apply for Veteran’s Aid benefits, and MASS Health and helped us navigate though the forms. Getting on MASS Health has many rules and regulations which people will tell you, and it can be overwhelming, but Paula knows the exact rules and regulations which was so complex that we could never have done it without her help and her staff. My mom had limited financial means and once we chose a nursing facility Paula and her staff helped us with everything. If they didn’t have an answer they would get one. They are with us for the first year and longer if we choose. Almgren Law has been extremely knowledgeable, professional and very compassionate through the complete process. You feel so alone while doing during the process and realize Almgren has done this many times, and they are happy to answer any questions, even if it’s just to tell you it will be okay. We were able to place our mother in the Skilled Nursing Facility of our choice which the group was very involved in helping us. We can’t say enough great things about our choice to use Almgren Law.

I live 3,000 miles away from my mom, who was transitioning last year to an assisted living facility. Although I'm an attorney, I have no knowledge of Massachusetts law and no family in the area to ensure my mother's wellbeing. From the moment I contacted them, Paula and her great team -- which includes a registered nurse -- have been absolutely fantastic. They immediately put me (and, more importantly, my mom) at ease, drafted necessary legal documents on short notice, facilitated the creation of a care plan with the facility, successfully supported our efforts to trigger my mother's long-term care insurance, and have kept in regular, personal contact with her to ensure that she is getting the care that she needs and deserves. This firm understands not only the law, but the importance of making clients feel that they're being taken care of.

For the past ten years, Almgren Law Group has guided my sisters and me through the maze of laws, regulations, and rules that affected the care of our elderly parents, and ultimately the disposition of their estate. Without Paula and her compassionate staff, we would have been lost, and likely would have unnecessarily forfeited much of the property and savings our parents worked so hard to secure. But this is just part of the story . . . Almgren Law Group provided so much more than legal and financial advice; when our father was hospitalized, the R.N. affiliated with Almgren Law advocated with the hospital staff on our behalf. Paula and her team knew whom to call, when to seek help, and from what resource—invaluable information that was always a phone call away. Our parents’ last years were enhanced through Paula and her team. When they passed on, there was always a phone call, a card, a comment on the obituary about their lives having been so well lived. We highly recommend Algren Law Group. They are an invaluable resource, and our family is ever grateful.

There is no way I could have made it through the confusing and terrifying maze of legal, financial, and medical issues surrounding the care of my mother without the expert help of Attorney Paula Almgren and her team. Paula helped me secure VA benefits for my mother, which enabled me to keep her in a healthy, happy, and safe environment for the last part of her life. I highly recommend the Almgren Law life care plan, which comprehensively covered many aspects of my Mom’s care. The Almgren Law team stepped in when I needed help dealing with insurance issues, such as hospital and nursing home admissions. I had no idea that caring for an aging, ailing Mom would be so crazy, but with Paula’s guidance Mom was well taken care of. Mom and I were able to spend the last part of her life focusing on being together rather than worrying about money or legal issues. Thank you so much Paula, and everyone on your Team!

Paula and her team were the best resource at a very troubling time for us. On January 1st this year, we suddenly lost our beloved Aunt and she had not created a last will and testament. There are key things you expect from a lawyer and Paula hit it out of the park on every expectation: Passion for the Job, Compassion for Clients, Great Communication Skills, Willingness to Listen, Knowledge of the Law. In addition, the team was very conscious of cost and included me in decisions the entire way. I will continue to use Paula for my legal needs and highly recommend you do to!

Paula is a down to earth lawyer. She gets to the crux of the issues and arranges your financial matters. She and her staff are always available. When you call even years later it is as if you were there yesterday. I feel very supported by the Almgren group. Susan

Paula Almgren is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of elder care. She is friendly, sincere and empathetic. She and her superb staff are very accommodating with prompt responses to phone calls and messages. With Paula's guidance we were able to keep my 101 year old father in his home. Our family is so grateful for her kindness, compassion and expertise.

I'm handicapped, and the Almgren team helps me with estate planning, insurance choices, long-term care questions, and much more. Without their skill and knowledge, it would all be overwhelming.
