"Dear Ron,
I’m grateful for your knowledge about issues concerning long-term care insurance and planning for the later stages of life. When I listened to you mapping out different scenarios and the accompanying changes in living arrangements as I get older, as well as possible changes in the allocation of money, so that myself and my family are provided for in the best possible way, I felt for the first time that I had control of this whole area of uncertainty with intelligent options. Your colleague, Kim, was helpful in walking me through the different papers and making sure that I understood them and her editorial suggestions were brilliant. Your support staff of Sara, Vijaya and Sanja were the best I have seen in an office where the work can be challenging at times."

"Mr Landsman is nothing short of a life saver. The Elder Law issues he helped my family with were too complex for us. Mr Landsman sorted thru the issues like a surgeon. His staff (Hi Kimberly and Tom) is so helpful and caring. We are getting ready to visit again soon to continue following the plan he has laid out."

"I began using the office of Ron Landsman after the sudden death of my husband. We had been discussing the need for a new and updated will, but as so often happens had not proceeded in this matter. Having three adult children in different stages of their own lives, and not having had a discussion with my husband as how to change the very old will which he had left me practically emotionally paralyzed as to how to proceed. I had many questions - the "if-then" type. Both Ron Landsman and Kimberly Kasberg were patient beyond expectation in explaining the possibilities and consequences of the many options I considered. They were a sensitive and reassuring influence when dealing with my many phone calls and were both kind and extremely helpful in answering my questions."

"Ron Landsman came very highly recommended to me. At our first meeting or two, he laid out what our plan should be to accomplish our needs. Ron was right on and our goals were met with minimum complications. He and his staff were always responsive and reliable.
We thank them for their professionalism and courtesy."

"It is difficult to imagine trying to navigate the complex Medicaid application process, especially in light of my mother’s Alzheimer’s, without the excellent guidance and knowledge provided by Ron Landsman and his staff. Mr. Landsman’s paralegal, Thomas Hennrikus, provided hands-on legal advice and document preparation assistance that made the nine month Medicaid application process successful. Subsequent annual applications were also greatly expedited through the expert guidance of Mr. Landsman’s staff. In the future, we plan to engage Mr. Landsman for all of our eldercare legal issues."
