This is probably one of the most significant decisions of my life, ie. to prepare my final arrangements. As bizarre as it may sound, approximately fifteen years-ago, my husband and I did make what we thought were all the necessary arrangements, a Will, POA and a
Trust. I was mistaken, my documents were
legal, but they did not represent my wants
and needs. Opinions of others may be well intended, but at the end of the day, none of it matters if it costs more money than you have and believe me none of us can afford end of life medical care. I was fortunate enough to find out before it was too late. Certainly, we may all fit into a generic category, but each case is unique; I realized I needed a lawyer that specializes in elder care.
I called Zacharia/Brown and again had the good fortune of having Attorney, Colleen Bratkovich secure a complete package of medical care for my husband, POA, Beneficiary, Will and Trust, all recorded. What may be simple for others, was an arduous task for me. I procrastinated in providing Colleen with the necessity information. Colleen was extremely patient and kind, but she needed the information. Mary Jo McBride, Case Manager was the solution, she helped me compile all the required information “she organized a mess of bank statements, records and determined their relevance.
Last, but not least...there is Coleen McGee, Legal Secretary, she orchestrates the seamless workings of “The Office”, one special lady. All is well and I am completely satisfied.
Colleen Bratkovich has completed everything as promised, without her knowledge and expertise …it’s a gamble and the odds are against YOU!
Before closing, I must comment on their SERVICE FEE:
The same thing I tell my dentist, “I will never complain about the money... because it’s an investment in myself” and “Colleen Bratkovich is worth every dollar! “

Sincerely,

Karen Kovach

There are legal ways to qualify for appropriate medical care and avoid squandering your lifetime savings.

There was nothing good I could take away from this 40 minute $300 consultation, when they called me and made an error in scheduling and rescheduled me 2 weeks out. My consultation was with James and had mentioned why I didn't complete the questionnaire, those individualized sections with assets didn't apply to my Dad, twice he made it clear and it was not advisable for me to attempt to spend down the assets, but he did quote me a fee of $15,000 and that is based on the average cost of monthly nursing home care and because of its complexity it would take 248 days to spend down, I'm not disputing that's its a long process, I came for some insight and hopefully finding the right attorney for my Dad.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Colleen Bratkovich and MaryJo McBride at Zacharia Brown, and I was extremely impressed with their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to their clients.
From the moment we first spoke with Colleen, I could tell that she was deeply knowledgeable about elder law and highly experienced in her field. She took the time to fully understand my family's situation and provided insightful guidance on the best course of action. Throughout the entire process, Colleen and Mary Jo were always responsive and easy to communicate with. In addition to her legal expertise, Colleen is also a compassionate and caring individual. She always put our needs first and went above and beyond to ensure that we were fully satisfied with their services. I never felt like I was just another client to her.
Overall, I would highly recommend Colleen Bratkovich to anyone in need of elder law. She is an exceptional attorney and a true professional in every sense of the word. Thank you, Colleen and Mary Jo, for your amazing work!
