Exceptional, professional and supremely caring
Exceptional, professional and supremely caring are not just words Heather Samuels epitomizes; they are qualities she illuminates. Her gentleness, sensitivity, kindness and respect toward my dad were remarkable. To say she honored and dignified him would be an understatement! It's heartbreaking to watch him decline from Alzheimer's. She ennobled him. My dad is one of the best people I know. He's not only brilliant and accomplished but virtuous and admirable. His diminished capacity is demeaning. Her higher quality of care interrupted my dispiritedness and injected elegance and beauty into it. I was moved by how she treated him. She not only introduced beauty into our sad situation but overshadowed it for a moment. As a caregiver, her skill in handling my dad's needs evoked my own aspirations to a higher standard of care. Her attentiveness, conscientiousness, and commitment to understanding and honoring his wishes were something special to behold. I'm so grateful for her help in caring for my dad.
All team members were always knowledgeable and accountable
From the minute my father's illness was suddenly thrust upon me, I was smart enough to know that I would need legal assistance to navigate through unchartered and complicated waters. What I didn't realize was how smart a decision it was to use Heather and her team at Samuels Wood. From the moment I entered, I instinctively knew this was the correct place. The warm greeting time after time, the genuine compassion Heather conveyed at my first meeting made me feel welcome, the patience in answering seemingly endless questions and re-explaining answers when they weren't initially understood, and the walking through the complicated details made a terrible situation very manageable. The entire legal team was aware of the case... everyone was always very helpful. I never got pushed around, all team members were always knowledgeable and accountable, and every detail was always followed up diligently. I can unquestionably and very confidently recommend Samuels Wood to anyone needing legal assistance with any matter they specialize in. It will be one of the best decisions you make and lighten any potential burden you may be faced with. With genuine gratitude.
Thank you, Tara, and your wonderful staff.

I highly recommend Ms. Samuels and her team for estate planning!
I highly recommend Ms. Samuels and her team for estate planning! I used their services to help obtain Medicaid for my mother and was very impressed with how knowledgeable they were about this complicated process and, just as importantly, how "on top" of the process they were. Unlike other attorneys I have dealt with, I did not have to constantly call and ask for updates or wait for unreturned calls/emails. Her office was quick to respond to my questions and provide detailed responses if needed. I would particularly like to thank Raven who worked diligently on the Medicaid application! Thank you both for your invaluable assistance during this challenging time in my life, leaving me more time to focus on my mother and her medical needs!

They made the process as easy as possible
Faced with a very difficult and complicated situation; getting my dad set up for Medicaid so he can get moved into a nursing home. They made the process as easy as possible, walking me through it and keeping me updated on all the steps; what was going on and what would be needed next. Very friendly and warm, yet still professional and obviously very knowledgeable in their field of expertise. They made a difficult situation as easy as possible for our family- would definitely recommend!

Tara Wood is a rock star
I cannot thank Tara Wood, Esq. enough for the assistance she provided my family. My sister, a nurse, and I, an attorney and healthcare administrator, live in NC and Texas, respectively. Our 98-year-old father lives in Boca Raton, Fla. After I attempted unsuccessfully to qualify our dad for long term Medicaid, I was introduced to Ms. Wood. I was only in town briefly and Tara came to the nursing home my father was in, met with us over a weekend, and worked with us diligently and expeditiously to meet an impending deadline. Tara knows the arcane ins and outs of the Medicaid process in Florida and ultimately got the job done. Equally important she was a pleasure to work with, immediately putting us at ease, relieving the stress and anxiety we were experiencing over our dad's health and finances, and keeping us informed on a regular basis. I whole heartedly recommend Ms. Wood as an extremely competent attorney and a caring human being.
Outstanding support

And delivered everything in a timely and professional manner.
Top Shelf Client Service
Tara Wood was invaluable in helping me to navigate the legal landscape as I needed to gain Power of Attorney in order for me to become responsible for my mom who developed dementia. and could not take care of herself.

The process was seamless. Thank you again Tara!!
Tara Wood is an amazing Attorney...
Tara Wood is an amazing Attorney, from the very first phone call to the very end she was professional, Knowledgeable, and so caring. I was truly blessed to have found her.

I highly recommend her.
Most Impressive
I live in Australia and, due to health matters, have been unable to travel abroad for several years. My 94-year-old mother became the victim of corporate greed and administrative neglect in her residential care facility, and it was only through the prompt work by Tara Wood that the matter was resolved. Whilst involving a great deal more time and effort than anticipated, no additional fees were charged beyond the quoted flat fee. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm.
