My wife and I thought it was time to take steps to protect our assets in our remaining years and spoke with a few attorneys about estate planning. We can't say enough about how pleased we were with Samantha McCarthy and her team. They are way more than the typical "Anything for a buck" type of legal assistance available elsewhere. Samantha, Daphne, Whitney and the rest of the team took great pains to understand our particular situation to make sure that we were protected. What's more is that they provide many of the services that someone our age needs or will need as we live out the remainder of our years. We highly recommend that anyone of a certain age consider discussing any concerns about protecting assets in old age with the team.Posted on Google![]()

When my mother's health declined to the point where she was no longer safe living independently, my family and I found ourselves facing an overwhelming combination of legal, financial, medical, and emotional challenges. Living almost 2,000 miles away, I had no idea how we would navigate Medicaid planning, guardianship, estate matters, asset protection, selling her home, or finding the right long-term care placement. McCarthy Law guided us through every step with remarkable expertise, compassion, and transparency. They helped us navigate an incredibly complex and daunting system, protected my mother's assets, successfully completed her Medicaid application, and most importantly, helped ensure she was safely placed in a permanent care community where she is cared for, supported, and safe. While the legal services were exceptional, the greatest gift to our family has been Christina, McCarthy Law's Elder Care Coordinator. From the moment we engaged the firm, Christina sprang into action. She began visiting my mother regularly, gathering critical medical information, coordinating resources, collaborating with care providers, and helping our family have difficult but necessary conversations. She has an extraordinary ability to approach challenging situations with honesty, empathy, and grace, creating a safe space for people to work through incredibly emotional decisions. Christina became the bridge between our family and my mother's care team, ensuring everyone stayed informed and focused on what was best for my mother. Christina continues to visit my mother regularly in person, advocates for her, keeps our family informed, and remains available whenever we need guidance or reassurance. My mother cares deeply for Christina and knowing that someone I trust is physically present when I cannot be provides a level of peace of mind that is impossible to put a price on. I recommend McCarthy Law without hesitation. They helped my family through one of the most difficult transitions of our lives with professionalism, compassion, and unwavering support. The combination of exceptional elder law expertise and the ongoing advocacy provided through Christina's role as Elder Care Coordinator is something I had never encountered before and now cannot imagine having navigated this journey without. The relief, confidence, and reassurance they have given both my mother and our family have been truly invaluable.Posted on Google![]()

We used McCarthy Law to help us navigate the Medicaid application process and develop an elder care plan for my father, who is living in a nursing home with dementia and Parkinson’s disease. From our very first meeting, everyone on their team was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. They guided us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions, and made sure we understood everything along the way. What truly set them apart was the genuine care they showed for my father. They even made personal visits to see him, ensuring his safety and that his care needs were being properly addressed. Navigating Medicaid and planning for a loved one’s long-term care can feel overwhelming, but McCarthy Law made an incredibly difficult time so much more manageable. We are deeply grateful for their professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support. I highly recommend McCarthy Law to anyone in need of elder law or Medicaid planning services.Posted on Google![]()

My sister and I visited your law firm and to say your the best is an understatement. Christina and the staff at McCarthy Law have gone above and beyond to put my sister and myself minds at ease on our mother. Christina has visited our mom several times since January even taking time to be with Mom when she was at RI Ortho with 3 brakes in her foot from an accident back around Christmas time 2025. Christina is absolute blessing for my sister and I.Posted on Google![]()

My 90-year-old mother was living independently but started to experience some memory loss issues. It was getting unsafe for her to live by herself, and it was important for my wife and I to get her placed in an assisted living facility that had services for individuals with memory impairment and to get her qualified for Medicaid to fund her placement. A friend of ours recommended McCarthy Law, LLC and we are grateful that she did. Our initial meeting regarding my mother was held on Friday, 1/16/2026. We met with Attorney Daphne Hamilton and her support team. I appreciate that Elder Care Coordinator, Susan Ferrante Dimeo and Jordan Serra, Esq. came to my mother’s home to meet her and witness firsthand her abilities and challenges. Based on Susan’s efforts, she was accepted on Wednesday, 2/4/2026 into Spring Villa Memory Care in less than three weeks from the date of our first meeting. It is an ideal setting to meet her physical and mental health needs, and she does call it “home.” To facilitate visitation, the assisted living facility is near where we live. As a result of administrative services provided by Rachel-Rose Pitchette, Paralegal, we received the official Medicaid approval letter dated 4/22/26 for my mother retroactive to 3/1/2026. Considering how long it normally takes to get Medicaid approval, Rachel managed this process with extraordinary accuracy and quickness. We highly recommend the elder care services of McCarthy Law, LLC. What differentiates this law firm from others is the combination of specialized, responsive, and compassionate legal, social, and administrative services.

Attorney Whitney Anderson McCarthy Law put together our trust and estate documents, and I cannot recommend her enough. It had several complicated moving parts, and she worked through each one with real care. She was kind and genuinely warm on every call, never made us feel like we were asking too many questions, and answered the ones we did ask in plain language instead of legalese. When we emailed, she got back to us quickly, often the same day, and when something needed a real conversation she made the time for it. She was patient with our second-guessing and our changes of mind, and at no point did we feel rushed. You can tell she actually cares about getting it right for the people in front of her. The finished documents arrived organized down to the last tab, in a binder that even came in its own fireproof bag, with an electronic version, a tabbed excel sheet with clear tasks assigned. Just an incredible attention to detail every step of the way. We walked away impressed and grateful, and we would send anyone her way.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot recommend the Elder Care Coordinators from McCarthy Law highly enough. I have referred many families to them who they have helped tremendously with navigating the next steps. They are all caring, knowledgeable and thorough throughout the process.
