Stephanie recently invited me to attend a webinar with a focus on Medicaid and VA Aid & Attendance. As both a CMS certified Florida insurance agent/broker and Veteran of foreign war, the session was very informative and beneficial to me. Over the years, I’ve found Stephanie to be a very qualified elder attorney, a compassionate professional, with both a successful and diverse background.

Our relationship with this firm go’s back 4 years. We realized then that my wife’s medical problems would inevitable result in her requiring long term care. While we had saved over the years and had a modest nest egg we knew that it would not last long in long term care. After visiting with Stephanie, she set up a program to restructure our assets in a way to protect them and allow my wife to apply to Medicaid. Throughout the process, Stephanie and her staff guided us thru the process and were always available to answer any questions we had and process all the forms that were required by the various agencies. The service of this office has been a godsend to us and I highly recommend them.

I had seen Ms. Schneider present at the South Florida Alzheimer’s Conference. She spoke so sincerely and authoritatively that I felt certain this was one person I could trust to walk me through the maze of laws and procedures and documents I would need to help me with preparing for my parents’ elder care and estate planning, as well as our own, especially given the complexity of planning for our disabled daughter’s future care without us. Being organizationally disabled myself (if only it were a joke), this was no easy task for us or for Ms. Schneider. It took months, stretching into more than a year for me to gather all the papers necessary, with frequent progress assessments by phone, e-mail and in-person. When it came time for the final signing of all the documents, she took great care explain in meticulous detail the implications of each document, sometimes several times. One of the reasons I had put off getting an attorney was my dread of feeling totally helpless and at the mercy of a professional who knew I knew nothing about her area of expertise. Choosing Ms. Schneider was one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made.

I highly recommend Stephanie L Schneider, Elder Care Attorney who handled my husband’s estate after his unexpected death. Stephanie’s experience, understanding and knowledge of the law and the way in which the Broward County legal system works is very impressive. Stephanie has an easy, compassionate, caring and understanding manner which was so important in helping me to deal with my grief and to accomplish all that needed to be done. I felt very protected in her care and had full trust that she was looking out for my best interest. Her staff was also caring and efficient and they all worked together very well. I had so many questions and felt comfortable asking anything. I thank them for always being available.

Ms Schneider was very patient with my 95 year old father. Shared a lot of information in plain language which was very helpful. I hope to make an appointment with her for myself in the future. I felt the cost for her information was very reasonable.

Stephanie Schneider an elder care attorney has helped me enormously with all my legal situations. Stephanie is extremely knowledgeable. I greatly appreciate and recommend her. She helps immediately and fees are not her primary concern. I rate her the very best.

This story began in 1995 when my wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Over the following years, we both became members of the S.W. Focal Point Senior Center in Pembroke Pines. For over six years my wife attended weekly chair yoga classes and I joined a care-giver’s support group. Later In retirement, I reached a point where it was becoming more difficult for me to provide the needed care for my wife. I discussed this with our coordinator in the support group and asked for recommendations of someone who could help guide me through the maze of financial and estate planning, long-term care options, designation of health care surrogates, etc. I was shocked upon learning the costs of skilled nursing facilities in our area. I feared that withing a few short years I would likely become impoverished. The only name recommended by the staff and our friends at the Senior Center was Stephanie Schneider. They all suggested that I talk to Stephanie. My wife and I met with Stephanie shortly thereafter and were extremely pleased with how she carefully listened to our specific situation and concerns. Stephanie and her support team walked us through the many options available. I soon realized that this law firm was exactly what I needed. Over the next few years, Stephanie and her staff helped us navigate through those initial concerns. And then we delved into the complex issues of Medicaid evaluation and application. We learned about estate planning, preserving assets. qualifying special needs trusts, designation of health care surrogates and many related topics. Stephanie knows elder law well and is fully aware of any recent changes in the law. She and her staff are respectful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I am happy that several years ago I took those suggestions from the Senior Center to talk to Stephanie. I plan to continue my relationship with Stephanie and her team. I do not hesitate to recommend her to friends, my family and others in our retirement community.

Raising a special needs child is very hard for parents. Making sure your child is taken care of after you leave is just as hard. Stephanie and her staff made it so much easier to plan for him and gave us peace of mind knowing that he will be fine. We are VERY grateful for her guidance and patience with us and we HIGHLY recommend Stephanie to help you have the same peace of mind that we do.

Thank you Stephanie for all your hard work and dedication. I have worked with Stephanie Schneider for over a year now and am always amazed at how thorough she is making sure everything is done to the best of her abilities. She is efficient and her team is always friendly over the phone and in person making sure everyone is comfortable. We appreciate Stephanie’s attention to detail and family values. Someone we can trust.

Stephanie Schneider P.A. has been my mother and father’s elder law attorney for the last few years. Stephanie has guided my parents, with all of their planning and legal documents, as they moved from a single family home to a Care and Retirement Community. Recently, during the covid pandemic, Stephanie was able to help my family obtain therapeutic leave for my mother, who resides in the care center. After a year of lockdown, I was able to take my mother out of the center and bring her to my home for overnight stays. These visits with mom have meant so much to her and to me and my father. My family is so grateful to Stephanie for her expertise and her dedication to those she serves.

Stephanie has been providing legal service’s to both myself, and my family, for over a decade. We have used her services across almost all of the areas she practices, and can attest that she is a subject matter expert in all of them. She has helped me handle the legalities of caring for a family member with special needs, including the complexities of working through the details of acquiring, and maintaining, government benefits. She has helped my family close out the estate of a deceased family member, which was left open for years due to the poor job our original lawyer did, and she has provided long term care planning, and trust administration, for other elderly family members. I could not imagine us working through these difficult issues without her. I highly recommend her for her expertise, thoroughness, professionalism, and a family like environment with regards to the way she cares for their clients.

During the past several years, I have had the privilege of attending numerous webinars presented by Stephanie Schneider. Stephanie is an outstanding Board Certified Elder Law Attorney with many years of experience practicing in this field of law. She is also an excellent communicator, who has the rare ability to share her vast knowledge, in easy to understand language. Each of her webinar presentations has been meticulously prepared and organized. The power point slides which accompany each of her presentations are precise and thorough. Her professionalism, expertise, compassion, caring and commitment to her clients and the legal profession shine through every time I watch her teach. I always feel that I have learned something new when I hear Stephanie speak. More importantly, I am able to retain much of the information she imparts because of the kind and gracious manner in she presents this important material. I am grateful that Stephanie so freely shares her expertise with others. She is a remarkable resource and a great asset to her community and the legal profession. I look forward to attending her excellent webinars (and hopefully in the future, in-person seminars0 for many years to come. Stephanie deserves the highest rating possible. She is terrific!

On the advice of a good friend I sought Ms. Schneider’s service to prepare legal documents for me and my husband. She advised us well concerning a trust, possible need for assisted living, a will and other papers needed to prepare for our elder years. Since she prepared the needed papers, my husband has passed but as we had successfully prepared our trust, his passing did not necessitate additional legal work I know other legal concerns will probably occur in my future and I feel assured of her good services.

Attorney Schneider is very empathetic and knowledgeable about elderly law and the many related issues – a great person, resource and attorney. Her experienced staff did a great job of wrapping up the details. I recommend her without reservation.

Our relationship with the Law Office of Stephanie Schneider began twelve years ago. She came highly recommended for knowledge and skills on probate.

Due to her professionalism, expertise and diligence, and that of her staff; my Mother chose Stephanie to handle her estate planning. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Stephanie Schneider, P.A. to those seeking an experienced, compassionate and knowledgeable elder attorney.

Sixteen years ago Stephanie took care of mom’s legal needs, and when I reached out only just last month, she readily helped me as well. Her prompt and thorough response was thoughtful which immediately put my mind at ease. Stephanie’s resource webinar archives offer a wealth of information that you can take in on your own time and refer back to when needed. Mom chose well when she selected the Law Office of Stephanie L. Schneider, P.A.

Ms. Schneider joined our South Florida Multiple Sclerosis Society Zoom Meeting and spoke to a very curious crowd of disabled adults. We were very worried about COVID and learned how the preparations that we could make now, would directly affect who had the ability to make medical decisions for each one of us, if incapacitated. Ms. Schneider was extremely informative, friendly and one of the best guest speakers that we have had the pleasure of spending time with. We are very thankful of the generosity that she showed with her time, professionalism and patience with our group.

Attorney Schneider is an amazing attorney! I have participated in several of her LIVE webinars where she graciously offers her wealth of knowledge and expertise to participants on very applicable and critical topics.

Stephanie helped me through a difficult situation to help a close relative in South Florida. She excelled with her expertise and knowledge of the Florida court system. She also had a very personal approach to work with me directly to explain the issues, and help work towards a positive outcome. I would be lost without her.

Stephanie Schneider and her team have been most helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Transitioning my Mom into memory care and taking over her finances seemed like an impossible undertaking. Stephanie gave amazing advice to get through all of the roadblocks from financial institutions. She has incredible insight and was very proactive about what needed to be done to help my Mom. I am very grateful to be working with her.
