Client Testimonials

Hurley Elder Care Law went to work for my Mother and navigated all of the Government red tape and got her approved for Medicaid in short order. I, as her POA, could not even begin to climb the mountain of paperwork on my own.

David Q.

Superb service through a difficult maze of governmental regulations and requirements which are not navigable by an individual without a depth of knowledge that far exceeds mine.

Wallace M.

It's impossible to accurately describe the lost feeling of realizing you need power of attorney, updated will and general guidance all of a sudden when dealing with a parent with dementia. The firm’s responsiveness has been superb, their work flawless and their advice kind, compassionate and professional. I'll forever know that their guidance prevented us from making many bad decisions.

Neal R.

Very comfortable atmosphere. They treat you like you are one of the family.

Val B.

All I can say is Wow ! I have never seen a team attack and solve a problem like Hurley. We lost our father and two weeks later our mother suffered a severe stroke. Nursing home costs were draining their life savings, but Hurley found a solution and got things under control.

Gary G.

Due to aging, escalating health and cost concerns for both my husband and myself, I chose to work with Hurley Elder Care to do care and estate planning. I am so very pleased with the result. I have a much improved understanding of the complexity of this process, the necessary documents, timing, regulations and the need for professional guidance.

We initially met with them just to discuss updating my parents’ legal documents. Mom has dementia and she still held my dad’s health care power of attorney. Miles Hurley is a wealth of knowledge and opened our eyes to ways to protect my parents’ assets as well as getting mom approved for Medicaid so in home services can be provided to assist my parents. We worked closely with Paul to provide all the needed documents. His knowledge and patience were appreciated every step of the way. Nicole was also a wealth of information and always available to answer questions and assist us. There is no way we could have navigated this process without Paul and Nicole! read less

They are experts in their field and made the Medicaid process stress-free. Prior to partnering with Hurley Elder Care I wasn't getting much sleep due to all the unknown. Kaila Crowder and Nicole Lott were amazing! They were there every step of the way and now my grandma is on Medicaid! I highly recommend Hurley Elder Care! Also, if I were to look back at the top decisions I have made in my lifetime, partnering with Hurley Elder Care would make that list!!! read less

They are a very professional group. You get a free one hour meeting to discuss your needs, and then decide whether or not they can help you. They are expensive, but very efficient. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! Because of their expertise and no nonsense approach, we more than covered their fees in what we saved by securing the benefits we sought in very short order. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services. The best! Worth every penny! read less

The staff there is amazing and guided me through the complexities of selecting a nursing home and the daily issues surrounding care. They intervened when necessary to ensure her proper care. They were also the intermediary with Medicaid, taking the lead and guiding me when necessary. I can't say enough about their professionalism and knowledge of the eldercare laws, rules, and regulations and their desire to ensure that my sister was well represented throughout her battle with that terrible disease. read less

My experience... read moreI would like to thank the Hurley Elder Care Law Firm for getting my cousin approved for Medicaid! My experience with Hurley Elder Care Law exceeded my expectations! The entire team was courteous, caring, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. From my initial meeting with Miles Hurley to review my cousin's case, my anxieties were over. Sam and Caitleen assisted me in collecting the needed documents to start my case. Grace Suchy did an outstanding job of walking me through this process and reassuring me that they would get this done. Also, Nicole Lott, LMSW Care Coordinator, visited my cousin at the nursing home on several occasions to make sure his needs were being met and she communicated with me before and after each visit. If you feel lost and don't know exactly what you are doing, and it's very difficult getting through or working with DFACS, I encourage you to reachout to The Hurley Firm. The Hurley Elder Care Law Firm Team provided me full service, and I am highly recommending them without any reservations. read less

We were moving to a senior High Rise and we both have health issues. Our wills and HPA were very outdated and we had no idea where to turn. Hurley was highly recommended to us by a respected professional, and we immediately made an appointment. They helped us navigate a lot of complicated material and within a matter of weeks, sent us a completed and updated Will and HPA in a durable notebook, with everything beautifully taken care of! They are the very BEST! read less

From our initial consultation with Grace Suchy to the amazing year-round support from Paul Abrahamson, we were always in good hands. Paul took the time to explain complicated things in a way that was easy to understand. The team was very professional and knowledgeable, and helped us navigate it all.

From our initial meeting... read moreThe team at Hurley Elder Care Law has been top notch throughout the entire process. From our initial meeting in Duluth (to accommodate my convenience), to helping unravel my parents' finances and securing payment for my mother's long-term care, I could not have asked for a better experience. Thorough answers, quick replies, patience with my constant barrage of questions, and a seemingly genuine care for our situation have been consistent throughout all of our interactions. I would, and will, highly recommend their services!

    I am not going to lie and say that this undertaking has been an easy one, nor would I downplay mom and my hesitance when making the initial financial investment needed to secure Hurley's representation, BUT I cannot imagine how overwhelmed and frustrated I would have been if I had attempted to face these processes without their help.

    I am aware there are free resources and guidance available from other avenues, like the nursing home where mom lives, but in retrospect I am certain that said services would have been unable to answer all of my questions. I am also fairly sure that our interests would not have been so well prioritized and protected if we had chosen to travel these paths. Even with help it has been a daunting task, and the entire process seems intentionally designed to confound. For us time was of the essence, and we were able to secure mom's coverage a full month before we found ourselves in a self-pay situation.

    I could site about a dozen instances where Hurley's experience and understanding of the process saved me time and money, but most important to me was that their support alleviated a lot of the stress and all of the uncertainty in these endeavors. It has been quite the undertaking, and mom and I speak often of how glad we are that we made the right decision in hiring Hurley Elder Care Law.
