Ergood Law, specifically Olivia Cleaver recently represented my family in dealing with my mother's entrance into an assisted living and subsequently submitting a Medicaid application which was approved. With regard to the assisted living contract, I assumed the contract was just a basic contract, however Olivia included some very important verbiage to protect my mother. These additions to the contract eventually paid dividends. Regarding the Medicaid application, Olivia was integral in walking me through the entire process. I had absolutely no idea how to even start the process. Olivia supplied a check list of requirements for the application submittal. Her experience in the application process was vital for my mother's approval and my sanity as I wanted to ensure my mother had everything she needed in last years. The Medicaid rules are very specific, and Olivia was right on top of it every time. Every aspect of this stressful experience was made easier by the Ergood Law team. At the office, Ivana Lockett always greeted me with a smile at the front desk. Document submittals and billing can be done online or in person. If I could think of a negative, I would certainly post it. Having said that I would highly recommend Ergood Law for this type of work.
After our first appointment, meeting with Ms. Ergood felt like a weight lifted off our shoulders! She is an extremely knowledgeable attorney with exceptional communication skills, especially as we struggled to explain our unique needs. After a loss the last thing you are thinking is, "I need an attorney," but it's something I wish our whole extended family would have done sooner! Ms. Ergood and her friendly, fast, and amazing team is still helping our family out, as we sort through the needs in our next chapter. We are so grateful to everyone in this office, and the people who suggested we make a consultation! Thank you!
Ergood Law office is very professional and pleasant with Mother and I during the Will and Trust documents. They were fast and efficient. Thank you for such an awesome job.
I recently had the occasion to retain Ergood Law for an emergent elder law matter with a family member. Olivia Cleaver, Esq. worked with me and was very compassionate, professional, and responsive to all my questions. The amount of work completed by the firm in a short time to successfully navigate my situation was nothing short of amazing. The fees for the services offered were very reasonable as well. The entire team at Ergood was so easy to work with, and I highly recommend them. I will be utilizing Ergood Law for all my estate planning in the future.
Highly efficient firm.
Recently my wife and I needed an Elder Care attorney to deal with the situation of a family member. We received a recommendation from an attorney friend, and boy were they right. Laura, Olivia, and their team were great to deal with and thoroughly, and completely handled the matter with professionalism. We would highly recommend them
Was fun. Don't recommend the rope swing for small children though.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Laura and her team, and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism and expertise. The attorneys themselves were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. They explained complex legal concepts in a way that was easy for me to understand, and they were always available to address any issues that arose throughout the process. Overall, I would highly recommend Laura and her team to anyone in need of legal assistance for themselves or a loved one. They are a truly exceptional group of professionals who are dedicated to providing top-notch service and support to their clients. Thank you for everything!
Very knowledgeable and helpful
Lauren and her staff were great. I had a will and estate planning completed with such efficiency and professionalism. Everyone was so thoughtful, helpful as they guided me through this process. I would highly recommend Ergood LLC. God Bless Mary
Laura and her staff were an absolute pleasure to work with. We used Laura for estate planning and to set up multiple trusts. She is extremely knowledgeable and took care of everything we needed! I would definitely recommend her.
Thank you very much!
I was scheduled for a consultion and the lettervthat wss sent made me completely uncomfortable. Does not come off as a compassionate person. That sealed my decision nit to use her services.
Hello Mr. Guido, Ergood Law does provide a consultation agreement to all prospective clients prior to an initial consultation. I believe that is the letter to which you are referring. Lawyers must follow very strict ethical rules. Accordingly, we must disclose the purpose of an initial consultation, the cost and what the person should expect during the consultation. For instance, someone might come to an initial consultation and want me to review a long term care insurance policy. Ethically, I cannot do this during an initial consultation. I would need to be retained first, which would establish a lawyer-client relationship, and then I would take the proper time to review the policy and give you legal advice. If someone has a question or concern about the the consultation agreement, we are always happy to go over it with a prospective client. I am sorry we did not have the opportunity to meet in person due to what I believe is the fulfillment of my ethical responsibilities. Had you had a chance to meet with me in person, I am sure you would have found that I am an extremely compassionate person that helps clients and families through traumatic and/or stressful situations almost every day.
I had a friend pass away who lived in South Jersey. Being from out of state and never through the probate experience, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. Laura was quickly able to put me at ease. Laura and her staff were extremely professional and prompt with communication. I would highly recommend Laura.
Thank you so much Cara!
I cannot recommend Ms. Ergood highly enough for her knowledge and expertise in Elder Law and Estate Planning. My family has used her for the past several years and we have always been pleased with her knowledge of elder law, wills, and eldercare. Ms. Ergood takes the time to learn about your situation and makes sure you understand the process along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Ergood and her staff for anyone looking for legal assistance.
Thank you so much for your review!
I have known Ms. Ergood for the past 9 years as she helped create my will and has also done the changes I needed to update it. She is always accessible-by phone or email, and has been willing to share her knowledge with me, to help me make good solid decisions. I would highly recommend her.
Laura and her staff were great. Very genuine and kind. They were also organized and extremely helpful to us. We would definitely use Laura again should we need to.
