I really had an awful experience with one Mr. Morris Selevan. I don’t know his relationship to Benjamin Eckman, but he has his name on a business card. He also received $500 from myself and my husband for consultation fee in which he quoted to us that we would have to give them anywhere from six to $10,000 for him to start a guardianship process and additional $20,000 to complete the Medicaid application for my mother-in-law who has Dementia, Alzheimer’s aphasia she has chronic renal failure as she also has a pacemaker and is at Cranford rehabilitation center, I thought we were being shaken down and I thought we were being handled and taken advantage of on our most vulnerable time. I have been informed by several professional individuals in the legal fields that minimum fee is required upfront and any in all legal fees would be part of the Medicaid spend down from my mother-in-law is this state so I don’t understand why this man after we gave him $500 For 15 minutes of filling out paperwork that he needs another $10,000 to commence a guardianship procedure. This is criminal and very unethical run and go the other way if you see Morris Sullivan.

Mr. Eckman had been working with my parents for many years in person at the Hackensack office. He provided knowledge based guidance and direction as they planned for the future for themselves and their family. Now he accomodates my mother and myself with phone calls and virtual appointments since we now live in another state and my mother can no longer travel. We are very appreciative of his personalized approach and use of his knowledge and expertise in eldercare planning.

He gave us multiple options to achieve my mother's ability to get Medicaid. He was as happy to complete the tasks 100% himself, to work with us, or to inform or support us as we completed it ourselves. With his guidance, an following it to a T, which took me 5 weeks before we met, and 3 weeks after, I was able to get my mother on Medicare about 6 weeks after we met!

Benjamin ("Benji") Eckman is someone who will go to the ends of the earth for the people he cares about starting with his friends, his family, and his clients (who he treats like friends and family). He is a thinker and a planner who helps his clients to think about issues they don't necessarily want to think about and plan for the inevitable that people, by nature, want to avoid. Benji is a dedicated and caring attorney, but, above all, he is a dedicated and caring human being.

My family was put in a situation where one of our parents had a medical emergency and was placed in a nursing home. It was out of state for my family. Mr. Eckman was extremely helpful not only in explaining New Jersey law as it pertained to our situation but he also helped us to make sure we knew what to look for once we were able to bring my parent back to our home state. There were so many details and intricacies that would have overwhelmed us given the medical emergency we were dealing with. Mr. Eckman was able to make the rules and regulations understandable and alleviate a lot of the worries and fears we were presented with. His knowledge of elder care law was spot on and was able to give us the confidence we needed to properly care for our parent.
