Do You Need a Lawyer to Help You Apply for Medicaid?

The reality in the United States is this: a sizable percentage of people will eventually need some form of long term care. The cost of nursing home care is, at times, out of reach financially for anyone but those with a substantial nest egg. Whether you are planning for yourself or a loved one, learning about what could be a bumpy road ahead is a prudent and fiscally responsible endeavor.

In fact, law dictates that only a licensed attorney may assist you in the planning process. There are several good reasons as to why you should hire a lawyer. The law was established as a way to help senior citizens avoid predatory practices and work toward obtaining the best and most successful planning.

So, you need assistance from a knowledgeable eldercare lawyer who will explain your rights, the process and will, above all, protect your interests. At Bratton Law Group, we have helped countless seniors apply and get approved for Medicaid. Talk to us about:
