I was so fortunate to have Janet De La Cruz assigned to me as my paralegal in educating me and holding my had through the entire Medicaid process. Not only was she patient with all of my questions but also very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help for their elderly family members.
I would give her a 10 out of 10!

Elder Law has a competent and knowledgable staff. They made the Medicaid application and ultimate approval easy.
Very knowledgeable and professional office. The attorney took the time to explain to us all of our options for estate planning. My husband and I feel relieved our kids are secure for the future.

DON"T USE THEM!!!!!....Also I tried to give them no stars, but it wouldn't let me post anything so I had to give them 1 star... My family went here for Medicaid planning for my Father. They requested full payment of $12,500 and told us they would do everything. They also said they would make the process as smooth as possible. After sending my mother a laundry list of required paperwork, which at most took them 2 hours to complete my Father passed away 37 days later before all the paperwork They requested was received from the companies. If you don't know a family member get 100 days before Medicaid will start and the time returns to 0 every time the family member goes into the hospital. My father was in and out of the hospital the last month of his life. So yes his Medicaid time started all over again. We contacted them for a refund after he passed. They told Us it was a flat fee, but we NEVER SIGNED A CONTRACT. THEY are now refusing to return phone calls and emails.

Ryan and the staff at Elder Law are exceptionally knowledgeable. This is the place to turn to if you are struggling with the numerous issues associated with caring for an aging loved one. They can also help you make plans for your own needs as you age. I highly recommend that anyone who is concerned about about dealing with these issues contact Elder Law.

Initially we went into Elder Law just to get a Power of Attorney and Health Surogate for my father, who was very ill. By the time we left, we had signed up for help to get VA Benefits and Medicaid Waiver. Jacqueline was very patient and did an excellent job. She handled the POA and Health Surogate within a couple of hours, and we greatly appreciated. After leaving, and researching Medicaid facilities, I realized that wasn't what I wanted for my father, and asked for a refund forthe Medicaid Waiver process, which hadn't been started yet. Jacqueline agreed in writing, and I've now been waiting over 2 months to see that refund. I was told it was processed but haven't seen it yet. As of today, 2 months and a couple of weeks, and contacting my credit card company to file a claim, I've now received a refund. I am very grateful that they did finally give me back that money.
My father passed before they even started the paperwork for the VA benefits, and I was told by the Attorney that they refund some of the monies. To my surprised, I received a check today to compensate me for that.
I absolutely loved working with these folks. They are very kind and supportive. I would give them a rating of 5 for what they did and how quickly they did it as it relates to the initial paperwork.

Since the passing of my mom and now taking care of my dad with unfortunate conflict with a sibling and the law firm that my mom had hired years prior was not helping my dad, Ryan Smollar and his team gave me great advice and tremendously helped out with my dad's situation. I have them now working on my dad's Medicaid and anything else in the future. I am so glad that I found them as I was going through a difficult situation and I did not know who I could trust and who would help. I highly recommend Elder Law, P.A. as you can trust them and they will help you.

I am happy that I was given the referral of Elder Law from the nursing home that my mother in law is in. They helped us so much in getting help from the government to assist with her care. They are always available to answer any questions whether via email or phone. They definitely did what they said they were going to do. I would highly recommend them.

Don't try to maneuver the legal process of qualification for Medicaid approval without an elder care attorney. We found a great asset and friend in Elder Law LLC. They were extremely supportive, professional and swift in maneuvering the complicated process. They are wonderful!!

I was unexpectedly thrown into a situation that I did not know how to handle or what to do. Thank goodness a counselor at Wellington Regional Hospital suggested I call Elder Law. From the first phone call until everything was completed the staff of Elder Law was there to assist me in any way that I needed. I will forever be grateful them. I highly recommend them for any and all Elder affairs you need help with.

When it came time for our father to enter a nursing home, we had no idea what to do or how to pay for it. Someone suggested we hire an attorney specializing in elder law. We picked the right firm!
Everyone we spoke to at Elder Law was kind and patient. Jamee, the paralegal, was especially wonderful. She answered all of our questions and moved everything along at great speed. They made suggestions we would have never thought of. This was money well spent. Our father is settled into a nursing home with full benefits. Don't try to do it alone.

Met with Ryan Smollar and he was a joy to work with. He’s extremely knowledgeable in his field and took the time to answer every question we had without feeling rushed. As a young couple we were initially worried that this is something geared for elderly people, but that’s just not the case at all. He helped my wife and I create a family trust and the beginnings of our will. Office was clean and the employees present were all friendly. Will definitely refer other friends to work with Elder Law PA

The Elder Law, P.A. organization, located in Lantana, Florida has met the needs of our family in a timely, professional and compassionate manner.
The services provided were Advance Directives, Wills, Deeds and Trust. The diverse staff displayed patience and understanding when explaining what needed to be done and what was involved in the Elder Care process.
As an older person, this was very comforting. The knowledge, care, and dedication displayed by all, from the Head of the firm to the staff, was above our expectations.
Our family can confirm the firm's motto, "where knowledge and compassion meet to protect your legacy."
We will recommend this organization to or friends and family who are planning to address life challenges.

Carlos E. Villamil, Constanza and husband Ed Ziomek would like to enormously thank you, Attorney Ryan J. Smollar of Lantana, Florida and your forever helpful/professional Paralegals Evelyn Villalba and Johnny Beltran.
The simple answer is that you, Ryan Smollar, took chaos and made it into a legal, fair, correct package very agreeable to all parties. This included real estate holdings in three states, mixed business interests over decades of life, mixed liabilities and trusts, in the middle of life-threatening medical-Medicaid issues, and structured everything in a legal, simple, formula: “the surviving spouse would manage everything”.
As we all know, it was only a matter of a few months, with both parties having settled and signed, all pieces of the puzzle came together in your one document, and Carlos’s dear wife passed on to a happier place. Her wishes will be abided by, but at least we all rest in comfort that the estate paperwork you authored was prepared in advance by your expertise that resolved the issues.
Thank you Attorney Ryan Smollar, Paralegals Evelyn Villalba and Johnny Beltran. We totally recommend your services!
