My mother-in-law is now 98 years old. After a fall in 2021, she became unable to continue living at home without crushingly expensive full-time assistance. She has a loving family, and we all wanted her to remain in her own home. We went looking for help in negotiating the overwhelming maze of obtaining elder care services. From our very first meetings with them, my husband and I felt sure that Fatoullah & Associates was the right choice. The process of applying for 24-hour home care through Medicaid had been stressful, laborious, and almost incomprehensible to us. Now we had the firm, our lawyer Stacey Meshnick, and Paula Goldstein on our team. Because of their strategic and creative recommendations, help in making the correct applications and filing them in the correct order; and having backup plans, success became inevitable. It felt like the team just worked miracles and we wound up getting 24-hour, 7day a week care through Medicaid, not a foregone outcome by any means. A special shout out to Paula: Her expertise, compassion, responsiveness, and sense of humor were invaluable in helping us keep relatively calm through the most anxious parts of the journey read more

I am using the services of a home health agency. In order for me to do that, I had to receive Medicaid. To make sure I was eligible, I had a few outstanding issues that needed to be addressed. I worked with Stacy Meshnick from this law firm to address those issues. I only needed one session with her via FaceTime. We couldn't meet face to face due to Covid restrictions. She was punctual to the meeting and was thorough and spent nearly an hour asking me many questions and me giving as many details as possible. After that meeting, any concerns that needed to be addressed that we didn't have the answer for, she found out the answer the next day. She was very knowledgeable and thorough. She was very timely and her responses as well. It was highly appreciated and it was successful because of the fact that I do receive home services now. To this law firm, you have nothing but my gratitude. Thank you for everything. read more

In 2020 right before the pandemic, my mom wanted to get her affairs in order therefore I was referred to Stacey by my colleague, the Medicaid coordinator from the place where I work, and apparently Ronald Fattoulah & Associates are referred to families of residents at my workplace as well. Stacey was able to accommodate us almost instantaneously, and upon our meet and greet with her and her team, my mom and I felt we chose the best place to do what we needed to accomplish. They were all very patient, understanding and knowledgeable. Sadly, my mom passed away in May of this year and of course I reached out to Stacey and her colleagues again and they were very sympathetic to my needs. I continue to try to follow up on a few things as a beneficiary and there's a whole lot of questions and a legal world out there that poses such uncertainty but I'm glad I'm able to reach out to Stacey for support and advice. read more

Stacey Meshnick helped my husband and his siblings manage the affairs of my aging in-laws with compassion, wisdom, sensitivity, and excellent legal advice. We all felt grateful to have had her guidance during trying times. When my own parents needed legal help -- Wills, Trusts, Medicaid eligibility and the like -- Stacey was the unquestioned choice. My sister, and mother and I have all been thrilled with the quality of the time and attention we have received from Stacey. It's rare to find a lawyer who also has a social work background and in elder law this is a winning combination. We cannot recommend Stacey enough. She is excellent in dealing with elders, their children, the law, family dynamics and she's very practical. read more

I contacted Ronald Fatoullah & Associates at a time when I was overwhelmed and stressed from helping my brother who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

I have worked with Stacey Meshnick since 2013. I have used her services to get a few close relatives on Medicaid. She also helped me place two close relatives in nursing homes when it was absolutely necessary. I also used her services in preparing my will and other important documents. Her and her team have been nothing but professional, and I highly recommend them. I know this company will be there for me in the future when and if I should need them. read more

Stay away from this firm. Worst ever. If you are looking for a good law firm that will actually perform quality work for you, keep on going, because this is not the firm. They took my retainer, and provided absolutely nothing in return but excuses. Worst legal experience ever! read more

A brief correction to my review. Ronald Fatoullah & Associates' advocacy regarding the change in Medicaid policy making retirement accounts in payout status an exempt resource, did not require litigation. Beverly Koster, LCSW Entitlements Advocate read more

Ron is a true professional in every sense of the word. His knowledge of the law is impressive and has saved me a great deal of money.
