Lee believes that by emphasizing important legal issues affecting the elderly and their families, we can provide superior legal services to our clients in Texas and throughout the country. Medicaid coverage is complicated — there’s no way around that simple fact. The rules for Medicaid coverage for nursing home costs are especially complex and many people misunderstand the rules and regulations. There is also a lot of incorrect information circulated about this subject — and the families of elderly people must take care to receive advice about Medicaid coverage only from qualified and experienced elder law attorneys. For more than 25 years, Mr. Lee has made a difference in his clients’ lives by educating, listening, putting the right strategies in place and supporting them for the long run.
