She was unprepared for the appointment as she hadn't reviewed the paperwork I dropped off ( she didn't even know it was at her office). She quickly found the paperwork and reviewed it. About a quarter way into our conversation she received a call she had to take . She did not go over any options with me about my incident, but gave me only one option. My entire appointment lasted a half hour ( I paid for an hour). I reluctantly took her advice, only to find out a month later I did have other options, but it was too late. I had already signed a contract for the sale of my mother's home. I would look at alternatives in the future if I ever need advice concerning elder law.

Attorney Kathleen Kienitz, in Lewiston, Maine, is an elder law specialist, and a Very Good one. She…read morehas been specializing in elder law for more than 30 years. I have benefited from her high quality services in three ways. She is my backup for a durable medical power of attorney. Should I need someone to take care of me, and my wife is unable to help me, Kathleen will know someone competent, kind, and reasonably priced that can. I was extremely manic for three years. My judgment was so poor that I was assigned a guardian and a conservator. I finally found a psychiatrist that was able to successfully treat my mania with Seroquel. Kathleen suggested I have a neuropsychological evaluation administered by a specialist in Massachusetts. All my limitations were mild. Three friends that know me very well wrote affidavits testifying that I no longer have any mental problems. Kathleen took the matter to probate court. She was sharp and quick thinking in front of the judge and the other attorney, and I no longer am required to have a guardian. Then, she appealed my legal need for a conservator, and was again successful. The judge saw no need for a court hearing. I have always found her extremely competent, and her charges were very reasonable. Her invoices showed everything she has done for my case, and the amount of time taken, to the nearest tenth of an hour. Deb Polley, her office manager, was also efficient and helpful. Kathleen has had another, less experienced elder law attorney working with her for four years. She can also handle wills, trusts and estates. I would recommend her very highly.

As an IT person I have worked with many accountants in Bath, Brunswick, and Portland. What I have…read moreseen (as I keep computers, services, and security working for multiple firms is that John Woollacott Accounting has the highest client retention, the best value for $ spent of any accounting firm, and they primarily work by referral. The office is informal. The accountants are "laid back" in terms of personality, and they have a focus on extremely accurate tax preparation which is to say they maximize legally deductible expenses, but only to the point where red flags are not raised by the IRS. I highly recommend them, especially for small to medium business which is a specialty of theirs.

I had to get another car which put me $13,000 in debt. I was lucky my house was paid for or I would have been homeless. My lawyer was ok but not aggressive, the case dragged on for over 2 years, they kept postponing the appointments to discuss the settlement. In the end I wound up with $33,000, lost wages, debt for another car, about $25,000. I would not recommend Hardy, Wolf, and Downing.
