    Joseph Girard - LA Elder Law

    Joseph Girard - LA Elder Law

    (8 reviews)

    I worked with Joe and his team through the long process of getting my mother, who had dementia and…read moreneeded institutional care, transferred from her home state on the East Coast to California. We wanted her tobe cared for near her children and grandchildren, and continue to have a relationship with us. This involved using a new statute that makes it easier, theoretically, to transfer guardianship/conservatorship from one state to another. It was not, in fact, easy, or quick, and it required mountains of filings in both states. Joe and his team were resourceful in navigating a legal mechanism that even the California judge admitted (in court) was new territory. LA Elder Law/Law Offices of Joseph Girard, were diligent, compassionate, reassuring, respectful and always professional. In fact, Joe helped me manage the relationship with the East Coast probate attorney, who was the opposite. And in the end, he charged me a very fair rate. I think I have a basis for comparison: Between my late mother and father, who was a resident of still another state, I have had 3 other probate attorneys besides Joe. Taking care of elderly family members' legal and financial affairs is complicated, time-consuming and expensive. Not even the best probate attorney can change that.

    Update: It has been a year since my last post. My parent died isolated, neglected, and abused--left…read morealone in his own filth--largely as a result of Joe's impulsive actions and following inaction. Joseph Girard recklessly handed full control of my parent to his abuser. Worse, he sent my private concerns directly to that abuser, which immediately escalated the abuse. From that point forward, my parent declined rapidly as his isolation and mistreatment intensified. I was forced to step away because any attempt to help resulted in my parent being punished: his medication, food, and social interaction were withheld. I could do nothing but watch him deteriorate, overwhelmed by sadness and depression. Last time I spoke to Joe, I still had access to my parent's Apple Health updates. I called Joe because it was clear, once again, my parent's medication was being withheld, and his caretaker wasnt responding. Joe was on vacation and he told me "Is it an emergency? Is your dad dead or in the hospital? Im on vacation" Joe did nothing and my parent ended up in the hospital a week later because he wasnt getting his heart medicine. After that Joe disappeared once he could no longer extract more money--after my parent lost access to his own finances when Joe drafted a POA that granted control to the abuser. That POA was weaponized against my parent, who was confused about what it meant and what rights he still had. HIs caretaker would tell him he has no choice in anything now that he has POA. For the final year of his life, my parent was effectively held hostage, denied proper healthcare, visitors, and even adequate food. Joe never completed the trust my parent paid for. Instead, his actions destroyed my father's final years-- and caused a permanent rift in our family. This man's reckless behavior, dishonesty, and exploitation of a vulnerable elderly person and their family are unconscionable. Joe Girard of LA Elder Law should be disbarred as an attorney and not allowed to practice law. No human being with a conscience does what Joe does. I will never recover from the trauma of the abuse I witnessed my parent endure--abuse Joe essentially enabled through his reckless and incompetent legal practice. Makes me wonder how many people he is collecting $3000 from and stringing along since he's never in the office and cant remember anything he says --- after he gets your money

    Before we called Susan, everything was CHAOS. I knew there were some ways to protect my parents…read moreassets while getting them the help that they would eventually need, but it was impossible to navigate on my own and I didn't feel Legal Zoom was the best option, My father saw Susans ads in the paper and we attended one of her seminars and walked away with much more direction...Then finally decided to call Susan, hoping she could help us. I felt we needed a lawyer we would trust, who specializes in what we need and Susan seemd to be completely on top of her game. I got a good vibe from her and felt she was genuinely compassionate about elder care and knew what we needed. I also felt like Susan had a very ethical way of figuring our needs out. She read us correctly and gave us the peace of mind we were desperately needing, and we did it at the correct time. She put together a trust for my parents and asset protection for all of us. She worked quickly and we are now protected and I will be able to care for both of my parents if need be without any of the complications I saw coming had we not called a lawyer. Susan was perfect and we are exteremly pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend Susan to any Gen X-er from The South Bay who cares about their aging parents and protectiing the assets they have worked so hard to have. Trust me, you are better off in the end...And Susan is the lawyer for you!
