Client Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
