Client Testimonials
Patrick and the team at Curley are amazing! From my early inquiries with Debbie all the way to the finish line their assistance was always generous, thoughtful, and considerate. My 77 year old mom lives at home alone and is having health issues. With the Curley teams help we got her estate planning done and got her on MassHealth. She now gets care through the state for 20 hours a day. It was a struggle to get the overnight care in place but Curley advocated for our family and my mom and now we can be sure that she is being cared for and her future at her own home is secure. Thanks team!
— Ben Rogers
I feel extremely fortunate that my family had the help of Patrick and the Curley Law Firm. Both he and Debbie were diligent and steadfast in their efforts to gain MassHealth assistance for my mother. Patrick was always responsive, answered our questions and I felt like our case was his top priority. His expertise and understanding were a source of reassurance from our first meeting. My mother can remain in her home with the care she needs thanks to the help we received. Navigating an elder’s care can be daunting, but Patrick and his team offered invaluable assistance and I highly recommend the Curley Law Firm.

The Value Of Certified Elder Law Attorneys
One of the benefits of working with a team of CELAs is the peace of mind you can gain from knowing that you will receive skilled guidance on how to best protect yourself, your family and your assets. A CELA is a recognized expert in legal matters dealing with estate planning and elder law, including trusts, wills, asset protection against Medicaid and nursing home costs, Medicaid (MassHealth) benefits planning and applications, probate and trust administration, guardianship and conservatorship, and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits planning.
At a time when many lawyers claim to practice elder law, having a CELA-led team working on your planning means having two of the very few experts in the commonwealth on your team.
