We are so very grateful for all of the help from the Rutkowski team, to get our parents’ finances in order and to get them settled in long term care. We were overwhelmed but thanks to the team’s kindness, dedication, and hard work, our parents are well cared for and the finances are all in place. Highly recommend!
I contacted Rutkowski law firm with a variety of questions, some of which were more immediate and not included in the scope of the services they offer i.e., Medicare. Angie graciously referred me to a subject matter expert who could help.
