Posted on Randy GrosenbachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful knowledgeable concering someone going into a Nursing home needing medicaid approval. They came highly recommended and now so will we highly recommend them.Posted on Rick LewellynTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged Livens & Reed to create a Supplemental Needs Trust for our adult special needs daughter, to ensure her financial needs were met but also done in a way to not disqualify her for Texas Medicaid benefits she currently receives. Shawn Crawford was excellent, along with Caleigh and Angie: very thorough, explaining every aspect and legalese in layman's terms, in a timely manner and what we thought was a very reasonable fee. We also consulted with Chad Reed on our aging parent's needs and what steps we might follow to have them qualify for Medicaid, when the time and need arises. Very friendly, spent all the time we needed with us during our free consultation. Highly recommend this law firm for anyone considering Trusts, Medicaid qualifications, and elder care. Thank you Livens & Reed!Posted on The Killian GroupTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic law firm for all your needs.
