Paige worked with me on every detail to ensure I could explain all income and expenses for 5 years. Once the Medicaid application was submitted, only a couple of items were questioned and then quickly explained. The Medicaid process is complex and detailed, I couldn't have completed the process on my own. Paige's guidance and expertise with elderly law was critical in getting my mother needed Medicaid services. I definitely would recommend contacting Paige Fox.

Based on my experience, The Law Office of James C. Siebert & Associates, P.C. has extensive…read moreknowledge 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.

He told me that it will cost $2000 to file for adoption but since he charged me $4600. He would not reply to my emails for weeks and wont take my call for weeks no updates nothing. And out of blue he comes back and says oh i filed your case. There is no update on what is going on and what the next steps are. Loses my credit card form because his assistant shredded it somehow and treats me like a thief as if i stole from him. Literally said pay me now $2600 in 7 days or he will charge me more for legal action. Never had to hire a lawyer before so dont know if his behavior is normal or not but very incompetent person. Do not use his seevice.

I provided Bank statements. All he did for me was remove my retired lawyer. Since it's Late June nothing was done. He charge's for things multiple times. And if you send an email he doesn't respond . Without communication it caused unnecessary charges. I got charged for copies of what a accounting looks like. And same Emails over and over.He actually forgot about me . I called on May 3 he said he get back to me that week. I had to call him 3 weeks later. This caused me to get another lawyer. He took over $1,300 for removing my retired lawyer. And nothing was ever started. Just be aware. I don't want someone like me on a low income. Spending thousands. On a simple probate.

I just started my own business last year. The mere thought of hiring a personal account was…read morebeyond me. I never ever thought that I would ever need a personal accountant...it seemed like an unnecessary and expensive expense and something that I should be able to handle on my own. I had no idea what I was in for. There was no way that I could sift thru all the paperwork on my own. And I had no idea how it would affect my personal affairs as well. I was at a total loss! A friend of mine highly recommended Richard. She worked with him at Bank Of America. She and her family had been using him for years, and wouldn't go elsewhere. I took her recommendation and can't tell you how satisfied I am with his services. He totally out us at ease and we received our refunds faster than I have ever received them. And the fees were totally way less than we anticipated. Go to him!

Knowing that, we entrusted him with our personal and businesses taxes, and have not been disappointed ever since. Not only does he stay up to date effectively with his tax laws, he sends his clients a letter on the tax changes each year to keep us informed in a summary fashion. Consultations with him are always filled with stories about life experiences (both ours and his) as we touch on various subjects we have questions on, making his answers memorable and giving us lots of food for thought. Verdict: Highly recommend.

My vehicle was a total loss plus I was out the money that I had posted to originally lease the car from the car dealer. The immediate care center that had treated me, sent my bills to a collection agency and the physical therapy group put a lien against me for payment. So I hired Gary Newland to file a lawsuit on my behalf and things really worked out well due to his professional and diligent handling of my case. The At-fault party's insurance company paid all my medical bills, and I received "Releases of Liens" for the liens that had been filed against me as well as a decent settlement for my injuries. Great attorney! This law firm has multiple office locations but I really like this Arlington Heights location, the office is always properly staffed, there are plenty of parking spots in the lot, especially handicap spots, and it's just a few minutes away from the Rolling Meadows court house.

In my humble opinion I would be guarded about doing business with GARY NEWLAND.
