Kind, communicative, efficient, patient, supportive, thorough -- mere words could never fully express the depth of my gratitude for Rich Shea and for what he has done for our family. I fought the system alone for years to get my severely disabled mother the hands-on, round-the-clock, fully staffed care she needed and deserved. I had to leave a 20-year career in a profession I loved to become her full-time caregiver, even when it was painfully obvious that I alone could never provide the level of care she needed. After being led astray many times by people in the medical care industry, Rich Shea picked us up, dusted us off, and with one foot in front of the other showed us the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, thank you, thank you to The Shea Law Firm.

Mr. Shea handled our Medicaid claim for my wife in a very professional and expedient manner. I highly recommend him for your attorney needs.

My uncle has no immediate family and due to age and illness, he's not able to care for himself. I was needing to get him qualified for Medicaid. As I began to research qualifying him for Medicaid, I realized I was lost in the bureaucracy and red tape. I found Mr. Shea and was impressed with his professionalism and willingness to help. Mr. Shea answered my questions and assured me that this will all work out. That assurance gave me the peace of mind I was needing and knew he was taking care of my uncle. Thank you Mr. Shea for being a blessing to my family.

Mr. Shea was an answer to so many prayers! I live out of state and was needing legal assistance for my elderly parent located in Houston. I was concerned that navigating this process from afar would be difficult, but Mr. Shea’s communication was timely, thorough, and always reassuring. He was patient in answering my many questions and never made me feel like a burden or irritation. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and never left me wondering what was happening or why. He clearly is an expert in the field and knows from experience exactly how to handle the manipulative tactics of Medicaid. We would have most certainly given up our pursuit (and a significant sum of money we were rightfully entitled to) if we had tried to navigate Medicaid qualification on our own. My only regret is that we didn’t find him sooner. His cost was very fair, and I appreciate that it was all-encompassing with no hidden fees. Overall, Mr. Shea was an absolute dream to work with—a complete 180 from the nightmare experience we had previously with another elder law attorney in Spring. I am already recommending Mr. Shea to friends and give him my strongest endorsement!!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Helping families navigate Medicaid from out of state is something I do often, and I know how stressful it can be when you're trying to help a parent from hundreds of miles away. I'm so glad we could make that process smoother for you.<br><br>You're absolutely right that nursing home Medicaid can be tricky to navigate alone. They have their procedures and timelines, and knowing how to work within their system makes all the difference. I'm grateful we could help you get what your family was entitled to and that you didn't have to give up that pursuit.<br><br>Thank you for the recommendation and for trusting me with something so important to your family. That means everything to my practice here in The Woodlands.

Before I even retained Shea Lawfirms services Richard responded to my emails regarding situations I was dealing with just to be helpful. His attentiveness and quick responses helped me able to address those situations. As a direct result when needing to update our wills and end of life directives he was the first one I called. He's been amazing to work with, very patient, very detailed and accommodating. He continues to go above and beyond!!

Response from owner

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. It really means a lot to know that those early conversations were helpful, even before we officially started working together. Sometimes people just need someone to point them in the right direction or help them think through their options - I'm always happy to do that when I can.<br><br>I'm glad we could get your wills and directives updated properly. Those documents are so important, and I appreciate your patience as we worked through all the details to make sure everything was exactly right for your situation.<br><br>Your kind words about going above and beyond mean a great deal to me. When families trust me with something as important as their estate planning, I want to make sure we get it done right. Thank you for giving me that opportunity.

What can I say about the Shea Law Firm, there is so much, I will start with my older brother who got sick, and I didn't know anything on how to prepare to get him set for Medicaid, or for the long-term care he will be needing. Mr. Shea was very informative on options, that were out there to help get him set on Medicaid. Mr. Shea was always there to answer your questions, he listens to you like you are a family member, are a close friend. As I stated, I can go on about how Mr. Shea handled my situation, but I'm just going to let you know, when the time comes, and you need an attorney, to handle Probate, Medicaid, or any other family law issues I would definitely go to Shea Law Firm, and talk to Mr. Shea, an attorney who listens to you, and works to find the best outcome. Again, thank you Mr. Shea for all you have done.

Response from owner

Thank you for sharing your story and for trusting me to help navigate such a challenging time with your brother. When someone you care about gets sick and needs long-term care, it can feel like you're drowning in questions and paperwork - I'm so glad I could help make sense of the Medicaid process and give you some solid options to work with.<br><br>What you said about listening really hits home for me. Every family I work with is dealing with real people and real worries, not just legal paperwork. Your brother's situation mattered to me, and I'm grateful we could find a path forward that worked for your family.<br><br>Thank you for the recommendation and for letting me be part of helping your brother get the care he needs. That's exactly why I do this work.

The Shea Law Firm has gone above and beyond for my family. My mother went into DKA due to a lack of treating her diabetes. All of the sudden I have a situation where my mother is in long term care, is getting charged a ridiculous amount of money (all long term care facilities do this), and I had no idea what I was doing. My mother had too many assets to qualify for state insurance so her life long savings was being drained each month. I looked up Elder Care attorneys who could help. The Shea Law Firm was the best rated and coming out the other side of it, I know why. I met with Richard for the initial consultation and from that moment on he took me step by step, fought numerous hearings on my behalf, and ensured she was qualified for state insurance. It isn't just the final step that makes this Law Firm one of a kind. They truly care about the elderly and what happens to them. They constantly communicate and answer questions that leave you feeling safe and that your loved ones are safe. I fully recommend the Shea Law Firm in any and all elder care situations.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kind words! <br><br>We know how overwhelming it can be when a loved one suddenly needs long-term care, and we’re honored that you trusted us to guide you through the process. It was truly our privilege to help ensure your mother received the care she needed while protecting her hard-earned savings. <br><br>Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to make a difference for families like yours that need nursing home Medicaid in the greater Houston area. If you ever need anything in the future, we’re always here to help. Wishing you and your mother all the best! <br> <br>- Rich Shea

Mr. Shea is patient, dilligent, and worked on my case for months to a favorable resolution. My only regret is that I didnt find him sooner. I would recommend him to anyone needing to qualify a loved elder for Medicaid. Do yourself a favor and use his services.

I appreciate Mr. Shea for taking the time to review my case. Even though, he couldn't help me since my case was already progressed he still thoroughly did his best and helped me any way he could.  He answered all my questions and did his best to guide on what do next.  Thank you Mr. Shea and blessings for helping me when I was in need.

I can't thank Mr. Shea enough for helping get my 93 year old mother through the Medicaid process. My moms nursing home bill was just under $6000.00 a month and with Richards knowledge of the Medicaid process her co pay amount amount was reduced to $1544.60 a month. Very fairly priced and very understanding of his clients concerns. Thank you Richard Glenn Y.

I was looking a couple of years ago for someone to help me get my husband Medicaid approved after needing to be in a Nursing Home to get 24/7 care. I found Rich Shea and he helped to get him approved and has even helped with the renewals. He is very easy to work with and actually cares about the people he is helping. Thank you Mr. Shea because without your help I'm not sure what I would have done.

Response from owner

Thank you so much for your kind words, Barbara. I'm glad we were able to help you and your husband during a difficult time. We appreciate your business and are happy to have been of service.
