He WILL NOT give you his email.  His receptionist Riley who is very sweet said \"we don't give out his email, send it to me and I will forward \". His legal assistant Jennifer Ake is also knowledgeable but she hasnt given me a clear answer on what papers the caseworker needed and ive asked her every week since Feb 7th, and today is the 28th.. She said if we don't get this in my Mother could lose her spot. I asked her this past Thursday to be cc'd on important correspondence with the Medicaid caseworker and i was not. I left a message on Friday becausei was not cc'd. I called the following Tuesday to follow up and Riley says she forgot to give Jennifer the message that I called Friday. I have paid $4800 for his practice to complete my Mother's Medicaid paperwork.... I find it very disconcerting that when I've had multiple conversations with Jennifer, that their response is \"I can't have his email\" .  My advice, get your contact info from him 1st, or only pay him half now, and half After he finishes the job you paid him for.\nUpdate to his 2 years later response 6/6/2025:\nI just recieved after 2 years a response from this office on my above review.  This wasn't about me wanting to discuss this \"only\" via email.  I called your office, and you wouldn't talk to me to address your assistants lack of duty unless I made an appointment with you at $350 per hour. My attorney looked up your contact info and informed me it's ILLEGAL for you to not have a working email address and I could have reported you to the board. I also didn't mention that while I was there with my Mother, you had a Man walk into your office to Yell at your assistant for not calling him back.  Hmmm, I experienced that too. Your 2 years too late Walter. For anyone wanting to use Walter, DO NOT USE the Guardian pooled trust. They take 2-3 days to return calls and only work 3-4 days a week and are in office less than banker hours. Horrible people to deal with.","reviewerName":"Stacey Mendoza","isVerified":false,"caseType":null,"caseYear":null,"caseOutcome":null,"status":"APPROVED","isPublished":true,"helpfulCount":0,"unhelpfulCount":0,"source":"GOOGLE","externalId":"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURobUlTMDR3RRAB","reviewUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURobUlTMDR3RRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x76b617ea1d9c7b1a!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgIDhmIS04wE%7C%7C?hl=en-US","profileUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105796361618570685253/reviews?hl=en-US","ownerAnswer":"Communication with the client is critical.

For a professional in the business for so long who works with the elderly “helping” families you would think a card at the very very least would be mailed. Nothing. My professional opinion: don’t waste your money, or time. Rehabs and/or ALF’s have case workers who will help you as part of their job and will show empathy and support. The lack of empathy, and unprofessionalizm is not ok and not worth adding to the already overwhelming stressful session of life.","reviewerName":"kelly batsford","isVerified":false,"caseType":null,"caseYear":null,"caseOutcome":null,"status":"APPROVED","isPublished":true,"helpfulCount":0,"unhelpfulCount":0,"source":"GOOGLE","externalId":"ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNMdGQ3NHp3RRAB","reviewUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNMdGQ3NHp3RRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x76b617ea1d9c7b1a!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICLtd74zwE%7C%7C?hl=en-US","profileUrl":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/108358028983095248321/reviews?hl=en-US","ownerAnswer":"We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, Kelly.
