My family hired Dana to assist with the filing of my Grandfather's Medicaid application to assist us with his assisted living expenses. Dana's patience, guidance and perseverance to the end was truly our saving grace for a complicated process. Dana's knowledge and experience helped to answer our questions to ensure that we would together a thorough and compelling package for the state to review. I believe it was her thoroughness that took us through the approval process and I would not have wanted to do it without her leading the charge! Forever grateful.

We used Dana to create a special-needs trust. Her guidance, empathy and services were exceptional. It continues to be a relief knowing that my brother-in-law has this trust -- as figuring all this out is overwhelming. I plan on using Dana for our wills next. She has such a calm, pleasant professionalism and continues to be very responsive to our questions and concerns.

Dana is very dedicated and caring. I used her for my father’s will and Medicaid process, so thankful that I had her to get through the process. The Medicaid process is very difficult to say the least. I still reach out to her a year later with questions and she always gets back to me right away. I highly recommend Dana Bookbinder.

Dana knows her specialty and presents it in such a way that other can truly understand. She is committed to being available to her clients as she recognizes how stressed they often are when stepping into the role of a caregiver. For over 10 years now, I have counted on her to work with younger couples that have learned that their partner has a terrible early dementia. She supports women thrust into the world of financial management and especially in navigating through government entitlements like Medicaid and other benefits such as Veterans. She is a pleasure to work with as I know she is always looking out for those she serves.
