Dear Alice,

First we would like to thank you and your staff for your assistance in securing Medicaid approval for my father, Richard P. Shaw, once again. Your office's expertise and connections have been invaluable to us in our hour of need.

We would especially like to tell you that Ada has been very thorough and attentive to detail in all aspects of my father's Medicaid applications. She was the one who straightened out the initial application and finally got an answer on what months were covered and what months were not. Also, Ada was very expedient in our newest challenge with the Department of Children and Families' - the annual review. She contacted us immediately upon receipt last week of the annual Medicaid renewal application and told us what information and documents we needed to gather to complete it. She also obtained a desperately needed extension as they were asking for submittal on DECEMBER 14TH!!!! only a week from receipt of the renewal form. Ada's connections with the Dept. of Children and Families were very valuable in obtaining the extension and expediting the annual Medicaid renewal. In fact, the whole process has been completed today with as little stress on my mother and me as Ada could provide.

Ada has been a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend her services. She conducts herself in a professional and friendly manner that puts your mind at ease. We look forward to working with her again.

Thanks again for all you do and Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Shaw and Rose Mary Shaw

Dear Alice,

Seldom do I have a chance to thank and praise the work that you and your staff do for your clients of which I am fortunately one of those lucky folks. The care and consideration your staff has shown to Joan and I have been exceptional. The stress and strain of being a caregiver for so long had taken a toll on me but you guys have taken all the worry and concern off my 85 year old shoulders. I would like to pay a particular complement to Ada, whose pleasant attitude and genial demeanor has made this part of our lives so much easier to bear. You are indeed lucky and wise to have assembled such a competent staff .Again thank you for helping us in this difficult time of our lives.

Hi Alice-
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a great job Ada has done for my
mother (Martha Marcus) in Originally negotiating with DCF for Medicaid assistance, and in the continuing review. The original negotiation was quite complicated:
• Getting DCF approval for declaration of my sister as disabled.
• Providing trust fund advice and directives.
• Working successfully with DCF to explain the transfer of funds involving 7
different bank accounts.
• Obtaining final approval for Medicaid support.
Recently, at the end of May my mother’s case came up for review. I had just departed the USA for an extended trip to Africa, and was unable to support the review date. Ada
successfully negotiated a postponement until the end of July ( very difficult to do) so that I could comply with the annual DCF review.
Thanks for all your support

The staff of the Law Office of Alice Reiter Feld has been a wonderful experience for me and my mother Leatrice Landsman who resides at Harbour's Edge nursing home in Delray Beach. One stand out who has helped me tremendously has been Ada Zeisel. Her professionalism and quick response to me and my Mom needs has always been on the mark. Ada quick responses for my Mom's paper work is up to date. Always contacts me with the answers of any questions I may have concerning the needs for my Mom. It is such a pleasure as a son to sleep very well at night knowing that Ada has always been their for me as well as Mom. Ada is a great asset to the team at the Law Office of Alice Reiter Feld.

Ada,

Just wanted to let you know, I truly appreciate the effort you have put forth for me regarding this situation of trying to establish a new lower payment for my dad for calendar year 2009.

You have kept me up to date on all the developments that have transpired involving the DCS, and that has been most comforting. I must say in the 2 ½ years I have been
associated with your law firm, I have been extremely pleased with everything Alice and you have done form me. My gut instinct was to choose your law firm because of Alice’s ties to New York, and I was absolutely correct.

Thanks again,
Jeff Arbeit

Dear Alice,

Thank you for the prompt and courteous service we received in the reinstatement of our mother’s (Mary T. Vigilante) medicare. Ada Zeisel, your Medicaid Case Manager, was so obliging and efficient in this matter. Her hard work and dedication is appreciated greatly.

Gratefully yours,

Dear Atty Alice Feld and Staff,

Thank you so much for taking on our case, regarding my husband, Raymond Rheaume who now is in a wonderful nursing home due to your gracious guidance. That was a tremendous help making the task so much easier.

I especially appreciate your suggestion of bringing my children and brother to our first meeting on December 2nd, 2008. Your receptionist Debbie, along with others did everything to make us feel so welcome and relaxed as I admit I was quite nervous but that soon left. We so enjoyed our interview with us asking so many questions Atty Feld and you were great with all your advice, never making us feel rushed. Thank you.

The legal assistant Jodi Bergman, that you assigned to us sure has been a tremendous help with so much she has had to do regarding our case and the endless phone calls I have made to her and never making us feel I was calling too much. She has been a real rock for me. I’m sure your phone receptionist Becky, knows my voice.

We are grateful you and your staff were recommended to us. Thanks again.

God Bless You.

Sincerely,
Sylvia Rheaume & Family

Dear Alice,

It was a little over a year ago when I was given your name and number by my Income Tax man. I was alone, filing a joint return, and my husband home, unable to participate in what had been his responsibility up until then. My husband and I had, for a few years, covered up his “memory loss” and I could not hide his condition any longer. We were alone, isolated (our own fault) and I did not know where to turn. That step, calling your office, saved us both. We had no idea of where to begin, how to navigate “the system” etc.

Thanks to your compassionate, caring, knowledgeable staff; under the kindest, sharpest, most energetic, hands on guidance from you, a year later we are seeing the “light at the end” and my husband is happy in his care. He is where he belongs! Thanks to you all!

To the Law Office of Alice Reiter Feld,

I would like to take this time to personally thank Ada Zeisel for all her caring and hard work and professionalism that Ada has shown with my mother that has been diagnosed with dementia. This time in her life to be stricken with this illness has taken a toll not just with my mother but also with her children. Ada’s diligent research and knowledge of finding long-range programs that will continue to give my mother the correct medical care has comforted me with the decision that I chose the Law Office of Alice Reiter Feld. Jodi Bergman worked tirelessy to procure Veterans’ benefits for my mother.

Thank you to the staff and to Alice Reiter Feld.

Regards,
Lawrence S. Berkowitz, Ed D.

To whom it may concern:

I have been dealing with the law firm of Alice Reiter Feld since June of 2008 regarding the health care of my father. They have been knowledgeable and responsive in the issue of eldercare and always have time for me when I call. I am managing my father's care from a long distance and they make a difficult task very manageable.

I would recommend this firm to anyone with an elder care question or concern. They know the ropes of a difficult and confusing issue with many pitfalls and can advise you how to navigate a very trying time in any family.

Sincerely,
Marilyn Jenney

To the office of Alice Reiter Feld,

I want to inform anyone that needs assistance with elder care that the office and staff handled our questions with the utmost knowledge. We walked in the office in total panic mode and immediately we were put at ease by the confidence and knowledge that was provided to us in regard to my elderly parent state of affairs. Everything was handled swiftly and competently. We walked out of Alice Reiter Feld’s office feeling a sense of caring and as if a huge weight had been lifted from our shoulders. The services offered by this law firm were even recognized for their knowledge by Miss Tarah Bloomfield from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families.

Thank you once again for making a painful experience into on that led us in the right direction. Because of our experience we highly recommend this law firm to anyone facing similar problems as we did.

Sincerely,
Susan and Frank Bell

Dear Alice,

After working with you and your staff I felt compelled to write this letter.

As a business author, I write and speak on topics of marketing and how to make better connections with customers. I have spoken to thousands of business professionals, executives and budding entrepreneurs over the years.

After I am through with my presentations, I take questions from the audience and these questions never fail to discourage me as it becomes abundantly clear that a HUGE percentage of businesses in this country are not focused on making their customers happy.

Here’s my point. I hired your firm to help me from a legal perspective to manage my 95 year old Grandfather’s affairs (and shortly thereafter my 93 year old uncle).

While the process of being Power of Attorney and caring for an elderly relative was not only new to me it was a bit overwhelming. When I hired your firm I never expected anything but legal advice and corresponding documentation.

The Law Offices of Alice Reiter Feld completely exceeded my expectations. In fact, you and your AMAZING staff blew me away (which is not an easy thing to do, I’m from NJ and don’t impress easily). Your firm not only gave me sound legal advice but you provided guidance that could have only come from someone that truly cares. It was very clear to me that the accolades on your office wall were well deserved.

Your staff continually bends over backwards to help even if it has nothing to do with the legalities of my families affairs. If I looked up, “incredible” in the dictionary there would undoubtedly be a picture of Debbie, Jodi, Marisa and the rest of your team as they are the epitome of that word.

As I end this letter and prepare to continue my journey on the speakers circuit I am now armed with a positive story to tell about a law firm in Tamarac Florida filled with caring people who have set the customer service bar so high you would have to be an Olympic pole vault champion to
reach it.

I sincerely thank you for the great work you have done and thank you in advance for all the great work you will certainly do in the future.

I can’t say enough about the assistance received from Alice and her staff. They were most helpful in assisting Mom and me plan for Mom’s future after the death of my Dad, and when Mom passed away not too long after, they went the “extra” mile for our family to make what could have been a very stressful, complicated and difficult situation as easy as possible. There was always someone available to answer my questions and help in any way possible. Alice, Jodi, Laurette and the rest of her staff have always been professional, helpful and caring in doing whatever they could to handle whatever issues arose.

We’ll always be grateful to you for making our mountain of a situation a climbable hill. You came into our lives when we needed a safe route to sanity and survival.

When Alice asked us “What keeps you up at night?” We pointed to the rolling suitcase we brought with us that was filled with paperwork. She sent her Family Services Coordinator to our home to get us started on the road to organization. There she stood, lovely, tall and an angel to come to our aid. Alice must have known she would bring us to shore safely.

The assistance you gave us was beyond our expectations.

I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to Alice Reiter Feld for her compassion and consolation when my husband, Marty met his untimely demise. She went that extra mile for me in my time of need. It takes someone special to go beyond the call of duty which she has done on numerous occasions. You know someone’s character when they do everything to make your life comprehensible. She got all of my legal affairs in order. She helped me draw up a new Will when I was so bereaved I couldn’t think straight. But most importantly of all, she gave me the prodding I needed to move forward with my life. She is truly one of a kind.

Sincerely,

I would like to say that it has been a pleasure working with Alice Reiter Feld and her staff in regards to Medicaid planning for my mother Janice R. Kowalski. I must admit that I did visit another elder attorney prior to meeting with Alice. I came away from that other meeting with very little useful information and many unanswered questions, which in turn made me doubt the process.

I was referred to Alice by the North Broward Hospital district and I am very glad that I decided to meet with her and her staff. She laid out a very detailed plan to accomplish the goal of Medicaid eligibility. She and her staff collected all of my mother’s asset information and implemented a step by step process to achieve the goal in mind. Throughout this process I was always consulted, updated, and involved in many aspects of the process (no unanswered questions). Their practice has made me feel extremely comfortable with my choice of attorney.

They truly make you feel comfortable and confident that they have your loved ones best interests at heart. Things have gone very smoothly and I know that my mother and I are in good hands. I would highly recommend Alice and her staff to anyone who has an elderly parent and needs to plan for their long term care.

Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do.

Sincerely,
Edward M. Kowalski

Dealing with failing parents can be very sad, emotional and stressful. Alice and her associates understand this and are compassionate in addition to being totally current with elder law, trustworthy, straight talking, efficient, and professional. Alice or an assistant was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed of the progress of my case. I was so satisfied with the Medicaid planning for my father that I have returned a second time, for planning for my mother.

Dear Alice, Laurette and Staff:

Thank you so much for your concern and guidance. You have lead me to places when I did not know where to go. You have given me a sense of faith and hope that I can care for my husband and myself. I now realize I can handle this situation with my husband and not go crazy.

You are a real service to our community and especially to me. God bless you.

Thank you very much,
Kathy Wilson

What would I have done if I had not gone to a seminar and heard Alice speak and then call for a consultation?

I am one of the lucky ones. I took care of all legal documents before it was too late. I am able to maintain the home my husband and I shared together. The Family Services Coordinator set up interviews and tours of nursing facilities when the time came for my husband Norman to be taken care by someone other than me. Norman has excellent care in an excellent facility and I have some sort of a life for myself . . . and all because I called Alice.

The staff made it painless and easy during very trying times. I had the whole office staff behind me on all sorts of financial advice and new situations that cropped up that I had no idea how to handle. Someone stepped in and took over when circumstances were so overwhelming for me.

My sister has told me on many occasions . . . That money was well spent. You got more than your money’s worth when you hired Alice.
