Randall Kaiden's help was indispensable in helping my mother successfully apply for MediCal. Her situation was complex and involved some very old unpaid loans against an endowment policy which had tax ramifications as well as MediCal considerations. Randall showed that this did not adversely impact my mother's need for MediCal due to her lack of remaining funds.Randall analyzed the facts and was really great in communicating with me and with MediCal to represent the correct picture and navigate the complexities of the law involved. He and his staff were very friendly, professional, and responsive to my questions. I would recommend Randall to anyone who is applying for, or helping his or her parent apply for MediCal. The law is simply too complex to apply without his great expertise and guidance. Thank you to Randall and his wonderful staff!

This business, specifically Mr. Kaiden, provided me with excellent and skilled counsel. He was attentive, responsive, and superbly informed in the subtleties and complications involved with social security, medicare, and medicaid. My particular situation dealing with the Medi-Cal and Medicare issues of my parents were especially intricate, since I wanted to make some of my assets available for my parents who are have supplemental security income, but not social security. Actually I didn't realize all the potential issues and problems that could arise when I was just trying to help them. But he was able to explain and unravel the confusion between all these public benefits immediately. He also devised a better solution for me to implement in order for me to help my parents. This is a first-class, accessible and friendly law firm of the highest caliber. They easily earn a 5 star rating from me.

Randall was very helpful, informative, and personable when he set up our will and trust. We heartily endorse him for anyone looking for legal assistance.

Randall Kaiden was referred to me by my financial investment professional just about 20 years ago. Not only did he complete my original trust for me, he drove 45 minutes to my father's residence to complete paperwork for him since he was not able to drive. Randall just updated my trust for me within the past year. He is one of the most knowledgeable elder law attorneys in the area, if not the state. I have complete trust and faith in him and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trust and/or legal advice.

I met with Randall on two separate ocassions to discuss Trusts, and Estate Planning. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He spent a significant time with us discussing various issues and answering all our questions. I highly recommend him!

Great experience. We had rather complicated living trust and couldn't be happier with the results.

Throughout the process it never felt rushed and all of the complicated legal terms were explained thoroughly.

This is a great firm and I highly recommend them.

My mother hired Kaiden Elder Law Group to help my grandfather apply for veteran's benefits, and they did a really amazing job. They charged a single flat (fairly large) fee up front, and then worked much longer and harder than we expected. It turned out to be a time consuming and complicated process, but they walked us through every step, moving assets into an irrevocable trust to qualify for VA Pension benefits and then collected an enormous amount of documentation, which they needed to prepare the voluminous mountain of forms that the VA requires.

I worked with Mr. Kaiden and Ms. Weyand most of the time, and both were very polite, courteous, and genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for my grandfather. They are extremely knowledgable and thorough. First they carefully analyzed my grandfather's situation and even drew up an analysis that was over 30 pages long. Then they set up a portfolio of legal documents which took care of my grandfather's present needs (applying for VA benefits) but also every foreseeable contingency in the future - will, health care directive, financial power of attorney, etc., that made sure my grandfather also qualifies for Medi-Cal, if he needs skilled nursing in the future.

When a local credit union refused to release my grandparents' assets, Mr. Kaiden took the time to call and fax the regional manager, letting him know that what the bank was doing was illegal and (gently) threatening action. Being lied to and given the runaround by a bank can make you feel really small and powerless and frustrated, so it was great to have the help of a lawyer who deals with banks all the time.

In short, Kaiden Elder Law Group took an incredibly complex and difficult process and made it manageable. This law firm has some of the most knowledgeable, competent and responsive professionals I have ever done business with. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Best law firm, hands down. Everyone at Kaiden Elder Law is so attentive. I've never dealt with a law firm where you always feel like you're welcomed and you matter. Even though incredibly complex - everything from estate planning, Medi-Cal, Veterans Aid & Attendance planning, to the trust administration process - is made simple with this firm. I can honestly say that I have never felt so confident and comfortable. So don't hesitate to contact them. I highly recommend Mr. Kaiden and his staff for all your trust, estate and elder law needs.

We came away with such a feeling of well-being! Rather than fixing an old trust which was poorly conceived, and drawn up in my name only, Mr. Kaiden drew up an accessible, conscientious, and meticulously devised family trust and estate plan that goes into our elder years, even though we are not yet elders. In reinforcing what others have said, I just want to add that his tax knowledge should not be underestimated. The value of Mr. Kaiden’s time is clearly second to the needs of his client, even when those clients do not realise what their needs are. I expect that every encounter with Mr. Kaiden shows and will show the same commitment to integrity and professionalism.

All the folks at Kaiden Elder Law were so helpful and patient with us – ESPECIALLY Randy. Couldn't be happier with the experience and the end result; he really helped us find the right solutions for our specific situation – not just "off the shelf."

Randall is a competent, compassionate partner in elder law matters. I highly recommend him!
