Robert’s wealth of knowledge in his field and his compassion helped guide me through the process of long term care planning for my family. He is a true advocate for his clients and the services he provided went beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate to refer my friends to Robert.

We are in the midst of trying to place our mother with Alzheimer's in a facility in the DC metro area. In our consult Robert asked me and my sibling all the questions about our case which were necessary to help us understand both the big picture and the precise details needed to formulate a game plan. He followed up several times with us to make sure we had the information we needed to move forward, and gave advice on other people we might add to our team to help us find the right place. He's a straight shooter, and clearly knows the elder landscape inside and out. He was knowledgeable and sharp, and gave us great advice on our next steps. Clearly he's a passionate advocate, and I would happily recommend him to others.

My family heartily recommends Attorney Bullock. After conducting extensive research on prospective attorneys, we then hired him and promptly got a first meeting (and then others in a timely manner as we requested) resulting in concrete insights. We saved time, energy, worry, false starts, a legal-translations-dictionary purchase, and funds – regarding complex, intertwined elder law/estate issues, which he decoded for us. His legal savviness, high-energy commitment, sincere interest and listening skills, and ability to think both strategically and tactically – all while speaking “layperson’s English,” interjecting appreciated levity, and providing step-by-step facts-based counsel – translated into a sterling value at any price. Really, Mr. Bullock's tab was extraordinarily fair, and further he generously offered sidebar time and his cell phone number for follow-up advice … into the evening. He constantly sought to provide the most direct, results-driven, and affordable path for our family, and along with his whole team was 100% professional, pleasant, responsive, interactive, dedicated, impactful, and driven. We suggest Attorney Bullock be put on folks’ short list of candidates when seeking a must-succeed legal counselor. Such a high percentage of five-star-ratings likely exists for important reasons like ours.

If you are looking for a lawyer who is passionate, thorough, no bs, all while having a fantastic sense of humor… look no further. He’s your guy. He saved me tons of money but cutting right to the chase and told me what I needed to hear and not what I wanted to hear. Thank you, Mr. Bullock, you truly are a class act.

I have known and worked with Robert and his law firm, the Elder and Disability Law Center for more than 10 years. When I first started with him, he provided a business counsel, involving contracts, finance, ownership agreements and business formation. When he started to focus in the area of Elder Law, I continued to consult with him with regard to the care of my mother and more particularly her eligibility for long-term care Medicaid. His services, as well as those provided by his staff has been nothing short of excellent. He has solid knowledge in many areas of the law, and always provided competent and timely advice, and, he does not waste time. Robert is direct, gets right to the point, and he delivers it all with a sense of humor, and responds regardless of the time of day and even on weekends. He is a trusted counsel, and has remained loyal and committed to assure my personal affairs, my mother's long-term care and Medicaid eligibility are actively maintained. He knows how to get the job done.

Mr. Bullock was recommended to me by my former attorney (now doing different law) for help updating my will and trust, as I had some significant changes to my personal situation. Mr. Bullock took the time to listen to my situation and then gave me several helpful, immediate suggestions I could use now, as well as some suggestions for the long term. I really appreciated that he used plain language to discuss the options and legal situations. I would highly recommend Mr. Bullock for help understanding and unravelling eldercare-related wills and trusts (and reading the other reviews on here, many other things as well).

I called Mr. Bullock to get guidance on How to handle my grandparents’ estate as it relates to their Medicare eligibility. Mr. Bullock went above and beyond to ensure I understood the situation at hand and presented viable options. We were on the phone for over an hour as he took the time to really hear my concerns and understand the intended goal. Bullock was direct and straight forward as he gave informative and sound advice. He didn’t only speak from the perspective that would be beneficial to him but often times made suggestions that could mean me seeking counsel elsewhere. After we ended the call he even called back to offer more information and ways to save time and money by doing my own research. After speaking to Bullock I feel confident on my next steps.

Robert guided me through one of the most painful experiences of my life - the decline and loss of my father. Robert's advocacy was crucial in helping to ensure my father got the care he desperately needed, and Robert's guidance helped me navigate the unique legal challenges related to my father's circumstances. I'm immensely thankful to have had Robert's help during such an incredibly difficult time, and I can't recommend him enough.
