Letha McDowell and Stephanie Washington provided professional and dedicated legal services for my parents Medicaid spend down plan. Their expertise and diligence proved to be successful bringing welcomed financial relief to my parents. I am particularly grateful to Stephanie Washington. She exhibited genuine care and concern for our situation and cared for my parents as if they were her own.

I employed HOOK Law Center for a trust and other legal documents. My perception of the dollar value I received was very low, in the end we spent ~$5000,00 on a cut and paste binder. *They didn’t take the time to ensure we had a clear understanding. *They didn’t consider that different people have different levels of knowledge and abilities to understand. *They didn’t take the time to thoroughly read and answer emails/questions which ended up costing us an additional $250.00 to make changes at signing. If they would have answered our question upfront there would have been no change required. Would like to point out that they made several mistakes which had to be changed, but still charge us $250.00 *Even though I explained upfront my job requirements - short notice travel - there was very little consideration giving for that or the holidays when it came to rescheduling meetings. They threatened to charge us $250.00 even though we provided a better than 7 day advance notice. *The staff seemed to get frustrated easly, like we were just wasting their time when really we were just trying to understand. -> We provided HOOK Law Center - at their request - our review/comments and for our troubles they gave us a $10.00 Starbucks card. As a retired Navy family who believe in Honor, Courage & Commitment I would highly recommend you look around before making the same mistakes I did. Thank you.

We had a 10:00 am appointment and were kept waiting for 15 minutes as the associate was on a conference call. Very rude and unprofessional to keep clients waiting. We left the office. Will take our business to another firm.

I have used the Hook Law Center a couple of times for my mother . My mothers situation has ranged from doing the whole medicaid application to special needs trust & so on. I walked into the Hook Law center with a lot of questions, worries and uncertainness about my mothers situation . After my consultation with Shannon Laymon-Pecoraro & Stephanie Washington I was extremely confident , at ease and knew I was at the right place & with the right people in getting my mothers life going in the right direction . They handled EVERYTHING to the T as said from the start . Always prompt with calls , answering questions & never once was I left feeling my questions weren't answered . Mrs. Pecoraro is on point & knows her stuff .
This Hook Law Center is top notch & the BEST of the best.

Back when these guys were Oast and Hook, I talked to one of their lawyers, who is now with the Hook firm after the split. They wanted me to do things regarding my mom that cost a small fortune. It just didn't seem right. I kept looking for another lawyer and found a great one who took care of my needs for 25% of the cost. During this process and since then about 4 other have told me they wouldn't send anyone to Oast or Hook, for the same basic issues I experienced.

My experience was excellent. The attorney was very helpful and getting all my information in order was easy. Everything was explained in detail. The experience was amazingly trouble free.

I recently assisted my parents with completing their estate planning, which initially seemed a bit daunting, as my siblings and I live out of state from them. I came across Hook Law Center online and after reading many reviews and information on their site, seemed comfortable with what they offered to further contact them.
Upon initial contact, I was very courteously assisted and explained the services offered. I arranged an appointment with my parents, for a consultation while visiting them on a recent visit. The staff at Hook Law Center was great! Andrew Hook was very helpful, carefully and thoroughly explaining everything to my parents and I and offered sound advice and suggestions. Ms. Patty Lyons was instrumental in coordinating communication between their office, my siblings and I, and my parents to complete the process. Everything was clear, concise, and handled promptly.
I would like to thank them for all their assistance. Our family can now rest assured this has been taken care of and the Hook Law Center has extended their further support and assistance, should the need arise at any time. It's comforting to have a reputable, competent attorney to turn to, if/when the need arises, especially with the distance between our family. Thank you.

I've dealt with the Hook Law Center for approximately the past 5 years. Andy Hook and his staff of excellent attorneys always have the best interest of the client and their families in mind when offering estate planning and financial advice. Their integrity is second to none and I highly recommend them for elder care planning and law.

When faced with the immediate need to get nursing home placement for my wife with dementia, Hook Law Center immediately fit me into their tight schedule. They handled all the paperwork, Medicaid applications and even followed up with all parties to the very end. I am so thankful that I contacted them, they really got me out of a very tight emergency situation. I have recommended them to everyone I meet that has a family member with Alzheimer's. Thanks again.
