Elder Law, Estate Planning and Medicaid Planning Attorney in Evanston

My law office in downtown Evanston helps individuals and families with Estate Planning, in addition to helping Elders and people with Special Needs with Asset Protection planning and Medicaid Applications.

I also help clients and their families face and address crisis situations when knowledge of a range of options and responses is vital. Elder Law is presently a dynamic and changing area of law, responding to our aging population and its attendant needs.

I devote a great deal of time and financial resources to educating myself about the latest developments in Elder Law and Trust and Estate Law in order to provide up to the minute counsel on the latest legislative developments.

Excellent attorney who cares about people

I found Mr. Story on a website - I live in Texas but had a matter taking place in Evanston, IL and I needed legal assistance. I'm certain that Mr. Story is a busy man but he listened to my long, detailed issue. He asked questions - he was genuinely concerned and gave me excellent information so that I could move forward. It's so hard not being in the same state when you are trying to take care of an important matter. He took the time to walk this through with me and I was so grateful that I found him.

Lifesaver

I hired Jeffrey to help me navigate the paperwork for my mother’s Medicaid application. I was being 100% honest on the application, but I knew there were going to be things in our case that looked odd to the caseworker. How true this turned out to be. The application was ultimately approved, but it took nearly a year. In that terribly stressful time, through every additional set of document requests, I relied on Jeffrey’s advice and counsel. He kept me calm, focused, and on track. He knew when to push back when the requests were ridiculous, and when to seek additional advice when they were baffling. And through it all he never billed me for a single dollar more than the flat fee I paid up front. I highly recommend Jeffrey.

Will & Trust

Jeff executed a Will and Trust for my elderly mother. He gave us expert advice and helped my mother enormously with a contentious situation. We initially contacted Jeff because he specializes in legal affairs for the elderly and found his knowledge and sensitivity to issues most reassuring and helpful.

Selecting a Professional Advocate to act as your Power of Attorney

Among Elder Law attorneys, Care Consultants and Geriatric Care Managers that I know, it is not unusual to hear about elders who have become so isolated that they may choose a friendly bank teller, waitress or grocery cashier that they see once a week to...
