Center for Elder Law & Justice

Lauren was such a big help when I was moving. Very caring, compassionate and her followup for assistance was excellent.

Very informative and sympathetic.

Medical bills I wasn’t responsible for but was being harassed for payment. A employee said they wouldn't go after me after speaking to them. Unfortunately it's still under my name and they came after me again demanding $9,000 for medicines I didn't order or have access to at Oakwood which the health department closed for criminal activity in 2019.

If I could I would give you a zero was wonderful to hear her giggle as she told me they could not assist me. Totally disgusted I feel sorry for anyone who is represented by these stuck up elitest snobs.

I’m embarrassed about it, but I was a victim of scam. so I asked for advice. Even though I’ve given them the contact information of the scammer’s email address and telephone number, they never contacted the scammer. I was still receiving several emails and texts from the scammer, but the attorney said just ignore it. Later, I received letter from the attorney regarding my case. It was written my case was closed. What’s more, it dated one months before I received the letter!! Nothing was resolved in the end.

My family had such a wonderful experience working with the attorneys at CELJ helping us to navigate both the Medicare and Medicaid systems for my grandparents, and social security/disability for my dad. Thank you CELJ, you rock!

Incredible organization with a fantastic mission.

You better off representing your self , attorneys don't answer the phone, receptionist don't care to check on anything. Complete waste of a law firm

It's been over a month since my father applied and qualified for legal assistance and still no return call or help. My mother went through the same thing with this organization before she passed away. She had limited income and could not afford to pay for legal help so we were referred to Elder Law. She completed the intake and qualified for assistance but no attorneys ever called.

David Shapiro helped me win a very important case and I am forever grateful. David was honest and could be tough when asking questions, but in this way he prepared me for the questions that I would be asked down the road. David was quick to respond when I had questions, which was so appreciated.

Like any volunteer lawyer group, you need to make sure that you know what you need and what you want and stay on top of them and make sure everything you agree to is written down. Otherwise you can't prove anything. These are attorneys.

David spario was nasty from the start of working with this place. When I asked for his boss I was told he was the highest up (guess that was a lie)now 2 years later I find out he actually has a boss and that boss contacted me. He gave me horrible legal advice, im worst off now then when I started with him. They wont even fix what they did the answer I received was "sorry ma'am you have to find a new lawyer" (even though if it wasnt for him I wouldn't need a new lawyer or be out of a vehicle and a ton of money. This guy may be good at some things but bankruptcy court isn't one of them . And don't contact him more than once or he will scream at you , yes and i mean actually scream. He's a bullying if you are in a desperate situation and have no where else to go you are forced to deal with this type of abuse. My husband died for this country and this is how his surviving widow has to deal with to make sure his orphans have everything they need . Definitely beware
