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 app...

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. Less
