Navigating Medicaid Home & Community-Based Services
My Approach
For over a decade I have been working to protect the legal rights of people seeking Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). By the time they reach me, clients and their caregivers are exhausted by efforts to navigate an overly complicated system. I hope that the information here will answer many of your questions so that you can advocate for yourself or someone else. If not, I provide consulting services to both attorneys and non-attorneys to act as your guide through the Medicaid HCBS maze.

I do not assist with any financial Medicaid planning or Social Security. Contact the Florida Bar for referrals to Elder Law or Social Security attorneys in your area.
