Patrick Curley is simply amazing! We were in the process of applying for Mass Health for our 98 year old mom who had recently been admitted to a nursing home facility and we ran into issues with a family trust. Patrick had reviewed the trust for us a few years prior to this admission and we were very pleased with his work. We didn't hesitate to reach out to him for his help. This was the best decision we could have made. From the moment we explained what the issues were he was on board. He took the pressure and stress of this daunting process away and went to work. He is so easy to work with and understanding in so many ways. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. Always there if you need him to answer questions or give advice. Thanks to Patrick we were successful in getting our mom approved for Mass Health. I am certain that without Patrick's help this may not have been the outcome. Thank you so much Patrick for everything! Joyce, Janice and Linda

I highly recommend Patrick and his law firm. We needed help with MassHealth and obtaining the right care for our mom. Patrick took over and guided us through a very stressful situation. His paralegal Debbie was also amazing. We are very thankful we were able to have Patrick in our corner. The Doherty family

We had a relatively complex estate issue surrounding a living trust and it was clear to see that we needed urgent help. Thankfully, we found the law office of Patrick Curley who specializes in elder care and MassHealth Insurance. He and his team have been outstanding in the way they were able to handle our situation and put our minds at ease right from our first phone call with Deb Tura. After multiple calls and remote meetings (due to covid-19) Patrick and his team helped us to understand the cumbersome process in order to obtain MassHealth Insurance for our Mom. Without their help, knowledge and guidance, we would still be struggling - and in the wrong direction! Not only did he get our Mom on MassHealth, but he also negotiated a very substantial discount with the nursing home due to a one month gap difference in coverage Professional, caring and extremely knowledgeable is the best way I can honestly describe Patrick Curley and his team. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience. If you need elder care help, or MassHealth Insurance, Patrick Curley and his team are the answers. You won't be disappointed. We would like to Thank the entire Curley Law Firm for your time, effort, support and help throughout the MassHealth process for our mother. Sincerely, The Lotti Family

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
