Michael Hooker 25 Main Street, Northampton, MA 01060

"Reached out for a consult due to some confusion regarding my mother’s Medicaid coverage and her house while in a nursing home. Not only did they give me solid advice, but they let me know that what I needed to do did not require hiring them as it was simple. Now obviously this doesn’t mean they do service for free, but it has become clear to me that this group has solid morals. They also have several specialized members on the team to really help with all aspects of the complications that is elder law. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Let's face it. Creating a will/trust is a scary experience for most of us and most put it off doing it, for too long. After my Mom passed, all hell broke loose because she'd done her will on an online service. PLEASE don't do this! Now not only was I devastated by her loss, but now the will situation was a mess with siblings showing their worst side. I had to retain an attorney and spend a year sorting it out. I learned this is not an uncommon problem. I vowed to never do this to my children. I am a single woman in my 60's who owns her own house. I called and met with Attorney Michael Hooker to finally create my will/trust. His office is in a nice location in Northampton and his kind paralegal/office manager made sure I had a reserved parking spot. I was pretty nervous, but they greeted me warmly, offering me coffee, water or hot chocolate. :) Attorney Michael Hooker and his son Attorney Jake Hooker were so professional, insightful and thoughtful. They ended up teaching me a lot! They answered all my questions patiently. And they got it done! Now my grown daughter has a copy of my will, as do the other beneficiaries. I feel so much better about my future and in protecting my loved ones! It didn't take long, it was affordable and it gave me peace of mind. Attorney Hooker- Both Michael and Jake and all their kind staff, made what could have been a very scary process, a thoughtful, mindful process that I felt very good about. Start this next year off right by creating your will with Attorney Michael and Jake Hooker, you'll be so glad you did."

"Attorneys Michael and Jake Hooker, as well as their excellent team, have been very helpful over the years. They took care of my living will, (regular?) will, healthcare proxy, other estate planning documents, and prepared a deed for me. I do miss the fish tank in the office, though."

"Mike and Jake Hooker and their team have been trusted advisors to me and my parents for many years. They have helped to ease the stress that comes with everything entailed with caring for aging parents. I am forever grateful for the caring and compassionate assistance they have provided to us. Mike, Jake, Jill and Estelle, thank you for all that you do. It has made a huge difference in my family’s lives. -Michael Wishnow"
