We are consistent, patient and professional, giving each new case of Medi-Cal planning in Long Beach the attention it deserves by walking you through each step of the process. With Elder Care Law California, you should expect the best.
Overview:
It is a devastating truth for many American families that money they saved for a graceful retirement and their loved ones ends up being wasted away on medical expenses and a nursing home stay. Most of us believe that these expenses will be taken care of by Medicare and/or private health insurance.
The truth is neither Medicare nor private health insurance cover all medical costs. Unfortunate illness or extensive care at a nursing home could wipe out your entire savings in a few short years.
The GOOD NEWS is that financial help from the Federal and State governments still exists. Through Medi-Cal planning in Long Beach, you can preserve your savings and qualify for Medi-Cal which will pay for most of the uncovered medical expenses.
Let our attorney determine your eligibility for Medi-Cal planning in Long Beach. Call us for Medi-Cal qualification before the laws change.
Our Approach to Medi-Cal Planning & Asset Protection Long Beach CA
Medi-Cal has ever-changing rules and exemptions and it takes an expert to navigate the eligibility process. Many people are denied due to their assets exceeding the allowable amount but anyone can qualify for Medi-Cal with the help of our experienced Medi-Cal attorneys. Our Medi-Cal attorneys tailor our approach to meet the needs of each client and maximize their financial savings. We help to move assets from non-exempt to exempt so they are not considered in the application process. We help our clients avoid the look back period, get qualified for Medi-Cal in Long Beach, and have the state pay for their care instead of having to pay out of pocket

Client Testimonials
Laura handled health care related matters for our father, as well as set up a trust. My brother and I were looking for someone to help us and found her services. I have nothing but positive feedback and would not hesitate to use Laura's services again. She easily accommodated her schedule to meet with us, was professional, answered all questions, never seemed rushed, was easily accessible over the phone, and most importantly she showed a genuine caring demeanor. Our father passed away a couple of years ago, and when I look back I can say with confidence that her help is what made the end of life care easier for him and the family. I usually write reviews or recommendations only when asked. In this case, I was not asked, but due to the high quality of service provided felt compelled to write this review.

Laura is a reliable and excellent attorney. I've referred cases to her for years. Clients have always been happy, and one told me that Laura asks questions that other attorneys never thought to ask her. I've even referred my own mother to her. So, yes, I endorse her.

Laura and her team was amazing. She was able to meet with us in person quicker then most attorneys we contacted. She went through everything clearly. Weylon did an excellent job of helping my sister and I get all the necessary paperwork and statements in a timely fashion. When we hit hiccups, he was quick to figure ways to navigate getting all the appropriate information and submit them within the time frame. I highly recommend them.

Elder Care Law is highly professional and knowledgeable in the Medi-Cal arena and assisted our family with securing Medi-Cal for our aging parents. My father became disabled and has been admitted to a health care center for long term care. Laura Butkute guided us through the maze of the complexities of the health care system, and we are grateful to her for her assistance.,

Elder Care Law is the firm you need if you're having difficulty getting through the maze of documents required to file for Medi-Cal. I had spent a year trying to muddle through the Medi-Cal process for my sister before hiring Laura Butkute. She and her colleague, Weylon Shineman, lifted the burden off my shoulders and guided me every step of the way. I hired Laura's firm on 10/25/19 and had Medi-Cal approval for my sister on 12/24/19. Miraculous! Hiring this firm was the BEST thing I've done for my peace of mind and I will definitely hire them again for any future Elder Care Law needs.

Elder Care Law helped us with getting Medi-cal for my father who became disabled. Laura Butkute helped us understand the process. She is very knowledgeable about how to be eligible for medi-cal and got my father approved very quickly. I'm very glad we worked with her.

Perhaps, as with MANY out there I never ever thought 'we' would ever have to be in the position to apply for MEDI-CAL assistance, but unfortunately, 'life' can throw you 'curve balls' that leaves you with NO CHOICE in the matter...I have to say Elder Care Law, Laura, Weylon and their team of EXPERTS made this process a lot more UNCOMPLICATED than I ever thought it would be. They are the 'real deal' and know what they are doing. If you or family members find themselves in the position where they TRULY need "assistance' that MEDI-CAL provides, I recommend this group 500%...BTW, they were always available whenever I needed questions answered etc etc.. Many THANKS to this group and their team.

Client
Laura B helped our family so much during a very difficult time. Seeking benefits for our loved one, and having to cut through the red tape and required documentation, seemed absolutely overwhelming. What we needed to do, and what we needed to present to obtain approval, was clearly presented to us. This allowed us to move forward under her guidance. I would also include Weylon in this review. He always kept on top of what we were submitting so we could get approval. I can’t even imagine taking this whole process on by ourselves. We have already recommended Laura and her team to others.

Client
It is with pleasure and deep appreciation that we thank Laura Butkute and her executive director, Weylon Shineman, for all their expertise and insight in successfully navigating the tortuous ins and outs of moving our mother into the Medi-Cal program; this at a time when our lives were in turmoil from all the circumstances surrounding our mother’s accident. During this undertaking, they were always available to answer our many questions and concerns with patience and care, counseling us on financial matters, as well as advising us as to the progress of the process. It was a great relief to know that their experience in these matters was taking this complex task out of our hands. We recommend Elder Care Law California enthusiastically and without reservation.
Denise & Nicole
Client
I had visited another elder law attorney who charged me $600.00 per visit. 1st visit he affirmed my family were eligible for Medi-Cal; 2nd visit he re-affirmed our eligibility. He did not know how to file an application. He was no help and gave no counsel. He also offered more help if I were to pay him $5,000.00 to put him on retainer. After calling Laura Butkute we had a Medi-Cal case number and within a week an ID card. In less than 45 days we received a phone call from Weylon Shineman saying he had received a verbal approval. I cannot express my gratitude in an adequate way. I am able to keep my home, my car and our assets and my husband will receive the care he needs. Thank you Laura.

Client
My grandmother is in a nursing home and was denied by Medi-Cal. Ms. Butkute helped me with medi-cal eligibility and she was approved. We got all the money we had paid reimbursed and now she is covered for all her needs. I am extremely satisfied with the work Ms. Butkute did on our behalf and highly recommend her services.
Luke
Client
Elder Care Law is a top notch firm for helping my mom in her application for Medi-cal. It is not easy to apply Medi-cal at her age. However, the Laura and her team at Elder Care law were very thorough with their work and Weylon guided me thru the process and step by step to achieved our goal. I would highly recommend their team!

I am so glad that Atty Laura Butkute, with Elder Care Law, was referred to us. When the family initially tried to help my mom apply for Medi-Cal, on our own, it was overwhelming for us with all these new information and requirements. During the initial consultation with Atty Laura, she addressed our questions, issues, and concerns. Atty Laura also explained the process and what she will do for my mom’s situation and what is needed to ensure a successful application submittal the first time through. With the help of Atty Laura and his associate, Weylon Shineman, there was focus and priority placed on the necessary activities and documents needed to get timely approval. My family and I highly recommend Atty Laura, and her associates at Elder Care Law.
Norman C.
Client
My family and I have had a rough few years trying to pay for my mother’s care, including being denied for medi-cal and then having to borrow against my parents’ home. By the time we found Laura, we were out of money to pay for my mom’s care and what felt like without options. Within a couple of months, Laura and her team got my mom approved for medi-cal. What a relief! She and her team are efficient, transparent, reasonably priced, and advocated for us when the county was being difficult.Our only regret is not finding Laura years earlier. We HIGHLY recommend!
