Curley Law Firm has been in my family's corner for quite some time now. Attorney Lucy Budman set up my parent's Will and Trust years ago and when it came time to unfortunately put my dad into a nursing home Lucy and her team were there to essentially do all the hard work. At first, I thought I could do it, but No Way! Att. Budman, Lynne and Debbie handled everything with the nursing home, MA Health, insurance co, etc. Not only did my mom and my siblings have far less stress, we were able to retain much more assets because of the Curley Law Firm.

Last year Curley Law Firm LLP set up a Trust for my mother and over the last few months they helped me with the sale of her house. I was very happy with how smoothly things went. Patrick and his staff were so professional. Patrick took the time to explain things to me and gave me the peace of mind I needed to complete the sale. I highly recommend Patrick and his team.

Unfortunately my mom is in a nursing home and I had to put my dad there too, We did have a trust set up for the house, but it wasn't written up by an elder law Attorney. Thankfully I was referred to Curley Law firm.
Attorney Curley and his team did a remarkable job in helping my parents and I. He and his team really dedicated their time and hard work to make sure my parents and I didn't loose the house and was able to get my dad on Mass Health in 3 months time!!! (Which is record timing !) I can't say enough good things about this firm. My parents and I would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. I highly recommend them, especially when dealing with elder affairs! I will forever be grateful!!!! I also want to especially thank Debbie Tura, she really made me feel comfortable and made me feel more like a friend than a client!!!!

My family and I retained Curley Law Firm LLP for estate and MassHealth planning services in August 2017. My father, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's several years ago, landed in the hospital that summer with a horrible infection had weakened him considerably. My mother and I were left with the painful decision to keep him in a nursing facility permanently after his short term rehab was complete as it became clear that my mother could no longer care for him full time. This was an extremely difficult time for my parents and me. And, as I was the only sibling able to assist both parents, I felt completely alone and without any experience to guide me through how to help them.

As soon as I met Patrick Curley, his colleague Lucy Budman, and his paralegal, Debbie Tura, during one of his very helpful local seminars, I knew I would be in good hands, and I would no longer have to navigate the labyrinthian MassHealth laws alone.

My parents did not have a will or any estate planning completed during this time, and Patrick and his incredible team coordinated all of my parents' estate planning swiftly while still covering every complex detail. Patrick and his team are not only extremely knowledgeable in the ever-changing MassHealth and estate planning laws and responsive to clients' questions/needs, but they are also incredibly kind, warm and patient. In a vulnerable time when emotions are heightened, Patrick and his team never once made me feel like I had to figure anything out completely on my own. They not only knew exactly what to do in completing all of the necessary documentation, but are always very responsive in answering any questions I have either via phone or email. Several times Debbie stayed on the line with with my mother and me through long, tedious phone calls to financial institutions and insurance companies. The entire team is always so supportive, and they even handled most of our estate planning and signing meetings at my father's nursing home to make everything more convenient.

Patrick and his team's advice extends well beyond estate and MassHealth planning. He and his paralegal, Debbie Tura, advised me on the process of transferring my father to another nursing home where my father is so much happier and thriving, and it suits his needs so much better. I never would have been able to navigate that process without Patrick and Debbie's help. Working with them has been one of the best decisions we've made as a family, and it helped us tremendously.

I would highly recommend Curley Law Firm, as they are top-notch, caring, and will get the job done, even in a crisis situation.

Paul just "gets it." Too many times just saying the word "attorney" can bring about anxiety. Paul couldn't be more opposite. He's compassionate in a "non-compassionate" business, he advises but doesn't push, and in the end, he reminds you that he works for you, not the other way around.

I can’t say enough great things about Curley Law firm. We had a short period of time to work with and the team of Attorney Lucy Budman, Lynne and Debbie were incredibly knowledgeable and gave us the guidance we needed to help us make the right decisions in a recent elder law planning event. When I have to go through elder law for my own planning purposes I will will do doubt be using their services!

Applying for Mass Health for an elderly parent, moving to a nursing facility, is extremely challenging. My mother had an irrevocable trust and other issues that made things complicated. Patrick Curley put us at ease on the first visit. He had asked to see some documents in advance of the first visit and was prepared to answer our questions and he had a plan to get started on the Mass Health application right away. I dealt with Lynne, Senior Legal Assistant and Debbie Tura, Senior Paralegal. They were always available and very knowledgeable. My emails and phone call were answered on the day they were sent. I would highly recommend this law firm for any elder law issues you have. My mother was approved for Mass Health in less than 3 months. Thank You

I met Patrick Curley at a seminar on aging in Wakefield and retained him immediately. He was professional and timely in securing my mother the security she needs to live our her days at home. His knowledge and expertise, matched with his kindness to a sensitive situation made an extremely difficult task manageable for me trying to juggle all of the items needed for a timely submission. If you are on the fence about whether or not to use an elder attorney for your affairs - please - make the call. I'm so glad I did.

Patrick and the Curley Law Firm were invaluable in helping me transition my 99 year old mother from assisted living to long term care. There were innumerable financial and timing questions that needed to be addressed and I really don't think I could have navigated the our current complex healthcare system without their assistance. I would recommend them highly.

I was referred to Patrick Curley Law Firm when my Mom was diagnosed with a Terminal illness and she needed assistance with high costs of home health care. I was so impressed with Patrick and his office staff.It was the best decision I made to contact Patrick Curley to get my mom on Masshealth. He was so informative and kind with both my mom and myself. He even made home visits to my mom to thoroughly explain every action we were taking . He went above and beyond to achieve the best results for my moms well being. This is a long and stressful process and he was always available to answer questions and guide me through the process. I could not of achieved this without him. I would not hesitate to recommend The Curley Law Firm. I am so pleased with his services and my mom can now reside at home without any worries.

We have been working with Patrick Curley and his staff this year concerning Mass Health/Elder Care Law/Estate Planning. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable but just as important he and his staff are responsive, thorough, and compassionate to the sensitivity of the issues at hand. I would not hesitate to recommend his firm as we are completely satisfied with the services provided.

Our family highly recommends Patrick Curley and his team to anyone who is looking for expertise and guidance with Elder Law services. The process of dealing with the law, finances, MA Health, and especially the emotional toll can be overwhelming for a family. While our family was not in crisis mode, Patrick and his team were very professional, thoughtful and helpful during the process. Most important, they were there and delivered results during the critical parts of the process. They dealt directly with the MA Health department on our behalf and the results were great. Additionally, and probably more important, was the responsiveness of both Patrick and Debbie. Whether it was during the process of applying for services, or a legal question, or a financial impact question, (there were many!!), Patrick and Debbie were constantly right back to us with the answers. We always had peace of mind for our entire family knowing we had the Curley team working with us to get the best outcome for our entire family, but especially for our Dad. The family of David Crowley of Burlington MA.

To Whom This May Concern,

It my pleasure to recommend Attorney Patrick Curley for any of your elder law/estate planning issues. Mr. Curley assisted my family when my father needed nursing home care. As an attorney, I did not feel competent to handle this very specialized area of law. I was impressed with Mr. Curley’s dedication to serving the elderly community. He has many years of experience dealing solely with elderly law and estate planning issues, and is a certified elder law attorney. I knew he would be the right attorney to help my family navigate through the challenging Medicaid application process.

I was highly impressed with Mr. Curley’s presentation upon first meeting him. He drove to the nursing home to meet my family due to my father’s immobility. He was friendly, compassionate, and empathetic. He patiently listened to my family’s concerns and helped formed a plan to meet my family’s goals and expectations. He provided zealous representation throughout our time together at an affordable price. He not only compiled and submitted the Medicaid paperwork, but also worked with the nursing home during the period of transition from private pay to Medicaid benefits. After my father was approved, we determined that Mr. Curley saved our family over $100,000 in private pay nursing home costs.

Elder law and estate planning are complex areas of law. I was very impressed with the services that my family received from Mr. Curley. I will be sure to contact his office in the future if we ever encounter an elder law or estate planning issue again.

Best regards,

Bryan Weadick, Esq.

I would highly recommend Curley Law Firm LLP for your estate planning needs. Attorney Patrick Curley helped both of my parents get on Mass Health Residential and he saved our home from a Mass Health lien.We will be forever grateful to Attorney Curley and his staff.

My family and I HIGHLY recommend Patrick Curley, Esq. and his assistant, Debbie Tura, to any family in need of an attorney specializing in Elder Law. We wish to express our thanks and our appreciation for the time and attention devoted to our special case and at times, challenging family dynamics. We were prepared for the worst, but with Patrick's expertise of how to navigate the jungle that is MassHealth in a highly professional manner, the outcome was quite different and one that I know my mother would be tremendously happy about. The Beaupre Family.

Family planning and navigating Mass Health can be very stressful. When my grandmother became ill we found the planning we thought was in order was done incorrectly by a lawyer that didn't specialize in this field. Hiring Patrick was the best decision we made. Knowing we had someone working for the family that was knowledgable and professional was an enormous stress relief during a very stressful time. I've recommended Patrick to others without hesitation.

When my mom passed away, the MassHealth Estate Recovery Unit made a claim against my mom's estate for far more than the estate was worth. The estate consisted mainly of an old, small house. By the time the claim was made, I had already paid a great deal of money out of my own pocket expecting to get the money back when the house sold. When I explained the situation to the case worker for the claim, I was told that most of my expenses would not be allowed. I was going to lose a great deal of money. That is when I hired Patrick Curley. Patrick and his staff did an amazing job resolving the situation. He guided me in gathering the information that would best present my case and put together an impressive package for negotiating an agreement with the case worker. Patrick was easy to talk with and could be contacted easily. But most of all, he did an outstanding job. I highly recommend Patrick Curley.
