Best Elder Law Attorney Ann Arbor Near Me

lewis veraldi: Reid McCarthy at Ann Arbor Elder Law is amazing at what he does. When my Grandmother fired her Trustee, her lawyer at the time said he could no longer server her; we had a sense of urgency to find someone to help. Reid was very patient and empathetic and helped us get everything in place. If you have estate planning needs and concerns this is the person to see.

Gary McNally: Everyone was very friendly. All our questions were answered. Readily accessible offices.

lmc: Preemptive take on elder abuse - not Chalgian/Tripp, they are the leaders in it.Just run - they will bury you, your family and assets in fees plus requiring contracts signed to perform services only if you agree to never attempt to recoup assets lost to non and malfeasance.Tripp personally is involved in colluding with a fraudster trustee plus her atty partner working in 7 counties in SE Michigan.These people, by time they depleted 2/3rd of assets in under 3 years (assets of apprx 2.5m) latched onto Amy Tripp, at cost to estate, trust, to author a new trust and will.It has been a nightmare.Tripp is rude, arrogant, yes, as they say on their site about elder abuse being their 'bag'... only bag in this firm is Tripp. WINDBAG who tried to push further high fees (10g to attend 1 hearing already scheduled, all prepared) and only if I signed contract revoking my rights to recoup assets plundered by Fales/Mataya.Mataya, Fales, after finding out initial damage done to all, as I attempted to find a replacement atty for Fales, that's when I started meeting attys, about the region, who, too, attempted to recoup assets plundered by Fales/Mataya/Chapman ring. I had each atty, and even director of a national non profit mention this same head count of people bilked and bankrupted, private clients, at that time in 2019 - all said same number range 5-6 estates plundered. One atty even returned my call and said, "so I finally get to meet the 6th victim of Fales...Chapman".It's that bad, and just in our county. This crew actually works in 7 counties in SE Michigan and holds contracts with probate courts in 5 of those counties. So their reach is far. Private clients vs those assigned by court for a variety of issues...different but big, barely monitored money. Not monitored if Private client. Barely monitored when court assigned.But did Tripp care that she was hitched, in contracted at 500/hr to this messy situation? Did Tripp vet the original signed will which didn't include a trust? Did Tripp bother to look at the court approved trust and new will to verify that it was not 'air tight', going to result in loss of all - needed her intervention at 500/hr to author new will plus new trust? NOT TRIPP.She tapped us for 20g to author that new will plus latched onto a different atty, Welber, to author new trust.Had Tripp even bothered to vet questionable story about trustee faiijv to distribute assets properly, all would have been caught. Since C and T profess to be actively involved in stopping probate abuse, they bought into a huge ring of abuse but when given the chance to try to take first steps to correct, Tripp required the 10g hearing fee (just when she is merely attending) then the contract requirement that I'll not pursue recouping of assets pillaged by probate abusers...Does this sound like actions that a person or firm who is actively involved in stopping probate abuse aka financial exploitation of elderly, disabled?RUN
