Surprise! Medicaid Says You’re Income Is Too High .

Certain states cap limit income. You’ll have high nursing home bills with too little income to cover it. A number of states apply Medicaid income limits.  These states are referred to as “Income Cap States.  The legislature in each strictly limit the amount of income an applicant for Medicaid nursing home benefits can have and […]

  • If anyone is looking for an Elder Attorney, I highly recommend the Holland Law Firm. My Mom has Alzheimer's and having to make the decision to place her in a facility was so heartbreaking and stressful. Then.... there was the COST!!!. They were able to get my Mom qualified for Medicaid on two separate occasions. Before her Husband passed and again after he passed. I would have never guessed they could get her qualified, but they made it happen! Having Michael, Martin and Kathy on my side was nothing short of a Godsend. Thank you again to ALL of the staff for your support, compassion throughout the endless tears and always responding quickly. I am forever grateful!

  • I can say only positive words about the Holland Elder Law Firm. A few years ago my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. While touring nursing facilities, another law firm was referred to me. Unfortunately I did not perform my due diligence and opted to hire the firm to handle my case. I wish I would have found Holland then. The other firm was vague, lacked communication, and of course, overcharged. This was the polar opposite of my experience with the Holland. They were clear, concise and explained everything thoroughly to me. They always responded to my emails and typically within a couple of hours, unlike the previous firm that may not respond at all or would take several days to respond. I was not nickeled and dimed. I wish I would have found them to begin with, especially Martin. He is a rockstar and made the entire process SO easy.

  • I was a bit skeptical at first, but your confidence convinced me I was in good hands for mom’s needs. I kept getting feedback that Holland Law Firm was the experts we needed. I know this approval for Medicaid could not have happened without the Holland firm’s team of experts. My sincere thanks!

  • The Holland Law Firm did a wonderful job on my fathers behalf. Martin Sabel has been a godsend. If someone needs an elder care attorney, this would be the one firm I would recommend any day.

  • I hired Michael as soon as we received the medical advice that my dad needed to move to a skilled facility. Working in the legal field myself, I knew it would be important to have someone with experience dealing with Medicare. I could not be happier with the services provided by Michael and his crew, specifically Martin and Kathy, who were always available when I needed to speak with them. I could tell they actually cared that my mom and I were able to tend to Dad, instead of stressing out about the voluminous amount of paperwork involved in the application. We received multiple pieces of correspondence from Medicare that were incorrect, including false denials of coverage! It scares me to think about folks who don't have legal counsel and would simply take Medicare's correspondence at face value! The Holland Law Firm successfully challenged Medicare immediately and the matter was corrected within the week. I highly recommend the Holland Law Firm for estate planning, and especially for issues with Medicare.

  • I have had the privilege to work with Mr Holland and Mr Sable on law matters, applications and other documents needed. The office atmosphere was professional and clean. The documents were timely completed and efficiently prepared. The accuracy was impeccable. The office personnel were courteous and very knowledgeable. In fact they went the extra mile to ensure that all of my questions were answered. After my case was completed I had other law questions to arise concerning other personal matters and they willingly assisted me. This firm is amazing and I would recommend them with a five star rating!

  • I am forever grateful to the ENTIRE team at Holland Elder Law. Earlier this year my father's dementia rapidly declined to the point that he went from living independently to needing to be placed in a nursing home within the course of a few months. I was overwhelmed & stressed simply trying to care for my dad & navigate everything. Trying to figure out how to get him approved for Medicaid had me frustrated, hopeless & in tears on more than one occasion, as it seemed the whole process was simply designed to run me in circles. Someone suggested I look for an Elder Care Attorney. I was concerned about the cost, but decided to look into it. I found several firms that did elder care law, but it was not their main focus... & they wanted to charge several hundred dollars simply for a consultation! As soon as I came across the Holland Elder Law site, I felt my stress levels decreasing. Elder Care Law is what they do, & they've been doing it for decades. They offered lots of information on their site AND they offered a free phone consultation, saving me from having to take time off from work & paying consultation fee to someone who had not yet earned my trust or business. What did I have to lose? So I called & was immediately connected to Michael Holland. After some basic questions about my dad's situation, he began explaining things to me & giving me steps I could already start taking, regardless of whether I hired them or not. By the end of that call, I felt hopeful for the first time in months. They not only know what they are doing, but they also understand the stress their clients are under, & they do an AMAZING job of being available, helpful, patient & just plain kind throughout the whole process. As for getting my dad Medicaid Approved... my first call to them (the free consultation) was in early to mid-April, I met with & officially hired them on April 24. My dad desperately needed a May 1 eligibility, which left very little time to get everything done, but I left the meeting on April 24 with a very clear to-do list, including a list of documents I needed to gather. I still had questions along the way, but anytime I called or emailed, they responded immediately & explained whatever I needed to know or was confused or concerned about. And thanks to the AMAZING team at Holland Elder Law, my dad is now Medicaid Approved with a May 1 eligibility, which I still can hardly believe! There is NO WAY I could have done this on my own, & the cost? Best money I've ever spent... & more than worth it! Honestly, they saved me (& my dad) not only money, but time, frustration & my sanity above all else. Thank you does not even begin to express my gratitude for each & every one of them, not just for getting my dad Medicaid Approved, but truly being like family & friends being there & helping me through one of the most stressful experiences of my life! Their whole team are truly living, breathing angels!!
