I can’t say enough about how helpful Paul and his team have been to me to file for Medicaid for my husband.  I have recommended them to members of my family and friends.  They are phenomenal and put you at ease during such emotional times.  A great big thank you to all.

I am pleased with everything the team here has done to navigate the Medicaid system for my mother.  They are now helping my father & mother-in-law and my wife.  I am quite satisfied with all their help and they always get back to you with any questions or to keep you up-to-date.

Working with Paul gave me and my family peace of mind.  Without his guidance, what would have been very difficult, made it very smooth.  We appreciated the honest & timely information that was provided to us every step of the way which allowed our mother to ultimately receive excellent care.

The staff was very efficient and did everything I needed from the beginning and all through the probate process.  I felt confident that all the necessary documents were filed and in place. They were all so easy to work with.  I would recommend the Stano Law Firm.

Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Are Saying

We’re honored by the trust our clients place in us during life’s most important moments.

“Paul is a total professional who’s provided a valuable service to our clients over the years, in areas such as pre-planning for a funeral where Medicaid issues come into play. End of life planning is never easy. It’s a multi-tiered process where you need several qualified individuals involved to work with the family. I’m glad to be able to call on Paul for his valued contributions here. My clients have been very satisfied with the way he gets results for them.”

Justin Zabor, President/CEO, Co-Owner, Zabor Funeral Home, Parma, OH

“My father originally went to Paul Stano to have a will prepared. However after his health began to change, we needed to get things in place to help him enter assisted living and have these expenses paid for. Mr. Stano took care of everything for us, including getting him VA benefits. I would’ve had no idea how to go about doing this. He saved me so much aggravation and heartache. My father took care of me for many years growing up, and I wanted to make sure I took care of him when the time came. Mr. Stano helped me do this. I talk to others who think it’s very simple to get VA benefits. But they have no idea how difficult this can be. I tell folks to let Paul Stano do it for them. He gets things done so smoothly.”
