We needed to have a plan in place to protect our assets that would allow a smooth transition when the death of one of us occurred. We contacted Rons law firm to handle our elder care needs. Ron and his entire staff were great to work with. They understood the situation we were trying to create and found a way to make it happen. They were professional while being caring as they walked us through the detailed financial and legal issues. We have worked with other law firms, but none have shown the care along with the professionalism that we received working with Rons firm. It is a rare and unique asset that makes their firm stellar. I have since had Rons firm handle my mothers estate planning and recommended friends. Whenever the opportunity present itself, I recommend Rons firm. They deserve a five-star rating for the excellent service they provide.

I needed a new law firm to review and update my Estate Plan Documents. After attending a seminar given by Ron Feinmen, Esq, I decided to engage his services. I am satisfied with the resolution. All members of his law firm were professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. Mr. Feinman was very knowledgeable, easy to work with and gave me time to ask questions and get answers. I would highly recommend their services.

I am writing this letter to thank you for the services you have provided for my mother and family over the last year. What began with our mother being in a rehab environment changed with the COVID pandemic and ended with her being placed in long term care. Our greatest concern at that point was how to pay for the care she needed with the few assets she had. As is the story for most, our mother did not take the necessary steps to preplan for her future, assuming she would never need outside care. The nursing facility offered to help with the Medicaid process, but since they would be the recipients of the funds, we did not feel this was a good choice. A family member who had worked with Ron Feinman recommend I talk to him. I immediately contacted his firm and an appointment made. Ron met with my brothers via phone and myself in a meeting to discuss the requirements of Medicaid and review my mother's financial situation. He then advised us as to what needed to be done, with the ultimate goal of getting Medicaid approval and still preserving some assets. His advice and knowledge were priceless in meeting our family’s needs. Ron prepared all documents to bring my mother’s estate planning up to date and personally went to the nursing home to meet with my mother, including her in the process. We were more than satisfied with the services and the resolution we received from your law firm. My mother’s Medicaid was approved in a timely manner. Dottie and Ron, you have always been there to guide me no matter how often I ask. I value the relationship we established between your firm and my family and cannot express my gratitude for all you do. I haven’t worked with a lot of law firms, but I can describe yours as professional, personal and providing a caring relationship with your clients, which is so important. I really appreciate your help, as the process is long and tedious, and you can’t afford costly mistakes. I would gladly refer your law office to anyone needing help with not only estate planning, eldercare and Medicaid processes, but any other services you provide. Thank you again!

It was also a great pleasure to work with all of you at Virginia Elder Law. My first concern was having my estate in order to make it easy for my family in the future when that time presents itself. Attorney Feinman answered all of my concerns in a professional manner, yet he added a personal, familiar touch, which made the decision making very easy. The entire staff was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend Virginia Elder Law in assisting anyone with this very important matter. Thank you again!

Dear Ron, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Dottie, and Ruby for the exceptional service that you have provided. When my father and I received the news that he had liver cancer, one of the first things that we decided to do was to seek the advice of a professional regarding Dad’s estate. Deciding to hire you was the best choice that my dad and I could have made concerning his estate planning. Now that my Dad has passed away, it means so much knowing that you are guiding me in handling the estate and that you truly have my best interest at heart. I have also appreciated that each time I have called your office, the phone is answered by either Ruby or Dottie, rather than an answering service or menu of automated options. I can consistently depend on you and your team when I need information. Not only that, but your friendliness and warmth have made a difficult time in my life, a little less stressful. I have told many people about the various ways that you all have advised and helped my Dad and me with Dad's estate. And, I have recommended your firm to those who I think might benefit from your services. Not only have I received expert legal advice and information regarding how to protect my late father’s estate, but I have a sense of security knowing that such a caring firm is there when I have a question or concern. Thank you again, Ron, Dottie, and Ruby for all that you have done for my Dad and me.

It is easy to let the years slip by and forget about estate planning. I previously had a will but decided that a thorough estate plan would be beneficial for me and my heirs. Through family and friends’ recommendations and personal acquaintance I decided that Ron Feinman and Virginia Elder Law would be a good bet. I was not disappointed. With an extremely friendly and hard working staff an appointment was made. Ron explained in detail the estate process. He undertook a detailed questionnaire to ascertain my wishes, not just for wealth management but for health care provisions, powers of attorney and contingencies if there are changes in those you choose to guide your decisions and inheritances. He then did a detailed assessment of all assets and established a Revocable Living Trust and the other documents required to carry out my wishes. This process requires one to do a bit of personal leg work to transfer assets to the living trust, but you are well guided through the process. After these transfers are made Ron has follow up visits to be sure all is done properly and issues copies of the Revocable Living Trust in sufficient quantity for owner of the Living Trust and all heirs. He is generous with his time in a friendly manner. He retains copies at his office if those should be needed. There is a lot of work involved. The cost of this process is quite reasonable. At one time I whined a bit about the process of asset transfer but Ron replied “you may find it a bit hard for you, but think how hard it will be for your heirs if they have to do it when you are not here”. This is a wonderful quote for the whole estate process. I would highly recommend Virginia Elder Law and Ron Feinman and his fine staff for your estate planning needs.

Prior to hiring the Law Offices of Ron Feinman, Esq., I was having trouble settling my grandmothers estate to get her on Medicaid. She was in a local nursing home and the medical bills were “piling up”. After all my attempts I was feeling frustrated and did not know what to do at that point. A friend of mine referred me to the Law Offices of Ron Feinman, Esq. because she said she had experience in dealing with this firm and highly recommended them. I called and scheduled an appointment and we went from there. Ron and his Staff were very helpful and supportive throughout the entire process of helping me settle my grandmothers estate and get her on Medicaid. They kept me informed through the entire process and that meant a lot since I was communicating with the nursing home and DSS. The relationship with Ron and his Staff was definitely a mutual partnership and everyone had my grandmother’s care as a top priority. I have never worked with a group that cared so much about my grandmother’s well-being as well as mine throughout the entire process. I would describe this firm as caring, helpful, and communicative. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Ron Feinman, Esq. to anyone that is having elder law concerns or problems.

3. We found the open communication with Ron Feinman and his staff to be excellent, and his care of our family and resources to be more than we had hoped for in retaining his services. Ron is personable and kind while handling a wide array of detailed and tedious financial and legal issues. His wealth of knowledge and experience was exactly what we needed in handling this process. He was fair throughout the whole process. He laid out the plan well and left our family with no unexpected surprises. From his initial consultation and direction, he delivered as promised.

5. We would highly recommend the professional Law Office of Ron Feinman to others as we have done countless times in the past three years. Our family has sent a number of potential clients to Ron. We would encourage others to look no further than the office of Ron Feinman.

I contacted Ron Feinman because my parent’s legal documents were almost non-existent, and I was concerned that their assets were protected and that their wishes were expressed as they aged. Honestly, we were lost and felt afraid of the future. Mr. Feinman listened to us and addressed all our concerns. He created legal documents that make us feel confident about our ability to maintain our wishes.
I value the thoroughness and attention Mr. Feinman and the entire firm gave us. Every contact proved sensitive to my parent’s unique medical needs, and Mr. Feinman truly understood their unique needs as aging persons.
I would recommend Mr. Feinman to anyone concerned about their ability to live as he or she wishes through advancing age. He understands the unique needs of aging people and possesses the specialty legal knowledge to ensure a person’s wishes throughout the aging process.

Our journey started out seeking ways to protect our assets for our children. We researched several elder legal advisors and scheduled with Ron Feinman. We immediately felt at home with Mr. Feinman and his staff. They were always available for questions and provided clear and concise guidance and support. It felt like we were a team working closely to provide any legal guidance to insure our concerns were resolved. We had trust that they really cared about building a package to ensure our needs were met. We are very pleased with the services and would recommend Ron Feinman for your legal needs. The trust he builds with his clients, is second to none.
