"I have no doubt from other reviews that this firm is capable. You should be aware they can be quite costly. I contacted them to put in place a Power of Attorney for a relative. They were responsive and nice but then I was informed it would cost me $365 just to have the first conversation with me about preparing one. Then there will be fees to talk to my relative, prepare the documents and fees to go to the nursing home to sign. $365 for just a conversation about preparing a POA was unexpected and unreasonable in my opinion. Who knows how much more it would be to talk to my relative, prepare the documents and meet with them to sign and notarize. I found another very reputable firm to do the entire effort for $425 in just a couple of days."

"From the first Zoom meeting with Ellen Makofsky, we knew we had chosen an excellent attorney to help us plan for a special needs couple in our family. Our goal is to help them move into a high-quality assisted living or continuing care environment. Ellen has an impressive command of all the areas of law that a move like this will entail. Beyond that, she is a pleasure to work with, a patient and thoughtful listener who “gets us” and our unique issues. She helped us find a geriatric social worker who was able to improve the couple’s health and safety in their current apartment and will continue to lend her support to them. Ellen has outlined alternative courses of action to take to help the couple transition to a better life. We left a recent meeting in her office with a “to do” list and a new sense of confidence that we are on the right track. Ivy Miller, April 7, 2022"

"I worked with Deidre and she was an absolute angel! She helped me in ways I didn't even expect and the information she provided made such a difference in my life. The entire staff is dedicated and works hard to take care of their clients. This is a TOP NOTCH - EXCELLENT law group!! I would recommend them to EVERYONE!!"

"In the course of the 10 months that I have been working with Deidre Baker, to date, on the process of getting my mom approved for Medicaid, she has been invaluable. Well organized and utterly professional, she has provided expert guidance and a clear roadmap thru the process. Deidre doesn't just dump a bunch of requirements on you and sit back and wait. She follows up, asks where she can help and always provides great advice on how to get stuff done. I do not honestly think that my mother could have a better advocate than Deidre Baker and the people at Makofsky Law Group."

"Ellen is the most knowledgeable attorney I have ever worked with. Her forte is eldercare however I have yet to come across subject she is in well-versed in regarding wall. Highly recommended. She found issues with a will Previously written by another attorney and explained clearly why it wasn’t beneficial. You can count on her to take care of her clients. Feel free to email me if you want to speak to one of her clients"
