Stay away! If you are seeking an attorney whose is respectful and actually listens to circumstances, Michael and his awful assistant are not it! He also doesn't return calls or messages until prompted by another attorney and his callous nature should be the first sign to seek help elsewhere. What is truly surprising is the fact that his practice centers around dealing with the elderly where compassion and understanding are paramount.

Good evening, I usually do not write reviews but consider them when making a decision. My family and I were in need of legal assistance, and this firm was utterly inappropriate. To be exact, the social worker Jill Turati , was rude, incompetent, and disclosed information, let me mention we never spoke to the actual attorney and did not hire them.
I must say, I know many families and individuals who are in desperate need of legal assistance, and I need to advocate not to seek Michael Hooker. Before even speaking with him, you will encounter with Jill Turati who is an inconsiderable and gruesome person. Not to mention she will gather your information and inappropriately use it.
I understand review sometimes are looked over, but if you need legal help seek elsewhere, find a lawyer who will speak to you directly and a social worker who is compassionate, and if the firm cannot take the case, then be truthful and kind. I urge you legal assistance seekers to find someone else to prevent any pain this law firm can cause, especially dealing with Jill Turati.
Take Care.

Atty. Michael Hooker is very personable and compassionate, with the experience to consider all perspectives - emotional, financial, and personal. He and his staff have been quick, competent and accurate, while offering support to our family through estate planning stages and the difficult end of life decisions. He even made a last-minute personal weekend visit to our home to ensure that our needs were being met! If you or your loved ones are starting to think about estate planning, or you have questions about end of life care, I highly recommend Atty. Michael Hooker and his staff.
I've worked with Mike a number of times and his team have helped my family set up our wills and planning. I'm consistently impressed by him and his team's expertise and professionalism. I highly recommend his practice.

I've had the pleasure of being in two roles with Attorney Hooker and his staff. For the past year I've provided professional care for one of their clients, and have had to closely coordinate with several of their staff to arrange appointments, discuss challenging clinical issues, and facilitate conversations between staff and my client. I can't speak highly enough about the thoughtfulness and sensitivity brought to a range of very difficult circumstances on behalf of this mutual client. The responsiveness and effectiveness of the staff has also been exceedingly professional and efficient. More recently, I referred my aging parents to Attorney Hooker to review their estate documents, and provide consultation on the protection of assets. Attorney Hooker came to my parents townhouse in their retirement village, sat at the kitchen table, took his time with their questions, and communicated the complexity of the options with great clarity and simplicity. They especially appreciated his straightforward and plainspoken style, free of as much legalese as possible.

I have to say I never write reviews but i felt that i needed to in this case and i was shocked to read negative reviews on Atty Hooker and his staff. I can't praise them enough for their help with my aunt's Medicaid & Estate issues. I didn't know where to turn and i was directed to Mike by a friend and Jill responded to my email immediately as did Atty Hooker. He came into his office on a Saturday to meet with me the day after my email. We have been in constant communication ever since. I knew nothing about Medicaid or finances or how to deal with all of the issues that come with caring for an elderly relative. They were fantastic and they know all of the ins/outs of the Medicaid process and so much more. Do not hesitate to call them, you will be happy that you did
