5 stars for Jason and the rest of the Elder Needs Law team. They helped us with a Lady Bird Deed, POA and navigating complex government and health systems when caring for my elderly mother. They were supportive, responsive and very knowledgeable.

We needed the assistance of a Medicaid/Elder Law specialist for our mother in a LT care nursing home. They provided us a list of attorney's and Jason Neufeld was on it. We did some research and were very impressed by his website which had a wealth of information on this topic along with very informative videos. After watching those and speaking with him, we decided he was the best choice. Throughout the process, he was thorough, patient, detailed and very effective at explaining the entire process. Overall it took about 4 months which was expected but he delivered the results he claimed. Our mother was qualified and it took a huge financial burden off her knowing that a large portion of her LT care expenses would be paid for. We could not have done it without Jason and his entire law firm team. We highly recommend you consider his services as he is a expert in this field of law. Thank you.

My experience with Jason was excellent and I highly recommend him. He's clearly a top notch lawyer who knows his stuff, and the advice he gave me was invaluable. Not only that, I know that he was sincere with me and genuinely cared about my mother's situation and the issues I am dealing with. Thanks Jason.

I had questions ready for Attorney Jason Neufeld for a conversation we had relating to a sale of my mothers condo and how it might affect her Medicaid benefits. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions in a way that was easy to understand and apply to the sale of her condo without adversely affecting her benefits. His assistant Elana I might add was so friendly when we phoned the office and kind, she really set the stage for a great conversation as she briefed Mr. Neufeld on our questions prior to our phone call. I would highly recommend this Attorney Jason Neufeld for all Elder Care needs and or Estate Planning and all they might offer to the public.

Jason was extremely helpful and not only answered my question but also provided a valuable recommendation regarding my mom?s retirement. While other firms wanted me to pay for a full consultation, Jason?s legal assistant was prompt in setting up a free 10-minute consultation as I had a time-sensitive request. I will definitely hire Jason and his law firm when the time comes. Thank you very much, Jason!

A strong recommendation for Jason Neufeld and his Elder Law firm - very professional, patient, reliable, and experienced. When my father fell terminally ill, I became responsible for his assets and finances overnight, including the daunting task to qualify him for Medicaid. I interviewed several elder law firms but was most impressed by Jason?s client approach and practices. Throughout the process, Jason provided clear guidance and support to successfully complete all the new and complex tasks required as a POA, and more importantly he enabled us to quickly achieve our goals related to Medicaid and estate planning. His fees are more than reasonable for the level of due diligence and support we received.

Our 95 year old mother, who lived on her own and still drove her car, had a minor fall. She spent some time in the hospital and was then transferred to a rehabilitation center. Progress was good in the rehabilitation center, mom enjoyed the staff and having regular meals. Together we decided that she would benefit best if she were to enter a long term care facility. Thus began the journey to get her qualified for Medicaid. A couple of firms were referred to us by her rehabilitation center. They were sketchy at best. Then I found Elder Needs Law. There are many variables that need to be considered and Jason Neufeld and his staff guided us through the many layers painlessly and we were able to get mom?s assets properly placed and her qualified for Medicaid. I would recommend Elder Needs Law to anyone who has the occasion to place a loved one in a long term care facility. It was a pleasure working with professionals who truly cared. Call them, you will be glad you did.

I highly recommend Elder Needs Law for estate planning needs. When the COVID-19 pandemic started, I felt urgency to protect my real estate. Can you get this done during stay-at-home orders and shutdowns??? Yes; this office can help! // I contacted attorney, Mr. Jason Neufeld, feeling that he offered straightforward and understandable advice after watching several informational YouTube videos that were posted to the public. I was also impressed that Mr. Neufeld offered, free of charge, important resources that are especially important now with the pandemic. // The assistant was professional; knowledgeable; not pushy; a pleasant person to speak with; and prompt with email follow-up. It was a very good initial call. // All done remotely?the payment transactions; forms to complete; engagement letter; legal documents? everything was smooth and straightforward. I never felt pressured. Fees were honestly disclosed. ENL followed-through every time via phone or email. Mr. Neufeld was prompt for calls; and always replied via email. He is easy to talk to by phone; he is patient on calls; he isn?t in a rush to end calls. His emails make sense; he follows through and handles everything on the list; he answers questions well. Once documents were finalized, we were able to sign documents in-office. ENL handled the in-office part with proper safety procedures. The office is easy to drive to and find; clean, pleasant office. I was delivered my documents right away and ENL completed the final work promptly. // So if you are looking for an honest, straightforward, knowledgeable, quick, efficient and competent estate attorney, I recommend Elder Needs Law office / attorney Mr. Jason Neufeld!! During anxious start of the COVID-19 pandemic, this office was able to handle my estate planning needs?they did this calmly, patiently, honestly and competently. Thinking of your estate isn?t an easy topic, especially during pandemic times that has changed our outlook of health and mortality. It really is reassuring to have a good attorney; and with my estate papers completed, more peace of mind.

We highly recommend Elder Needs Law PLLC for your Elder Care planning. It was a pleasure to work with Jason, Tracy, Carolyn and Jody for a variety of services including our Wills, Health Care Directives, and most recently for Medicaid Planning. Submitting a Medicaid application is a daunting experience and requires attention to detail involving dozens of documents. I cannot imagine how we would have navigated through the process without the assistance of Elder Needs Law. At all times everyone we worked with was professional, prompt in their responses and reassuring when we needed that as well. We also really appreciated that right on their website there exists a variety of videos and documents to help you educate yourself about Elder Care Planning, where to get started, and how to proceed. You are able to do your own research, and this better prepares you to ask questions and plan. Put your mind at ease, we highly recommend Elder Needs Law for your Elder Care Planning.

I highly recommend Elder Needs Law. Last summer my elderly mother's long term care insurance reached its limit, forcing us to find a way to continue to provide her with the home care she absolutely needs each day. Making it more challenging, my brothers and I all live in different states a distance away from our mother - and everyone was in lockdown due to the COVID pandemic. One of my brothers had previous experience dealing with Medicaid in New York, so we knew it would be a complicated journey. We turned to Jason Neufeld and Elder Needs Law for assistance. Immediately from our initial consultation we felt confident they could help us navigate through the Florida laws and Medicaid application. Jason and his team drafted estate documents to help close any gaps, establish health directives and power of attorney, and then assisted us through the Medicaid application process. Everyone was very responsive and easy to work with. It's not a simple process, and having Elder Needs Law guide us made a big difference.

I couldn't recommend Jason enough! He made a very stressful time a lot easier to navigate. He also offered solutions that other elder care lawyers I had initially met with did not think of or mention. I truly appreciate his patience and kindness and all of the time he took to help me understand everything. I felt supported by Jason and his team during an overwhelming time when I had so many things to sort through and figure out. You won't find a better elder care lawyer.

The team at Elder Needs Law did a wonderful job helping my mother get the Medicaid benefits to which she is entitled. The process is convoluted and so confusing that it looked impossible to do it myself - I'm a CPA & good at following forms and instructions, but this was way beyond what a nonprofessional could do.
