Weiner & McCulloch, PLLC

In late February, 2020, I needed to file from out of state for successor Letters Testamentary in Harris County for my father's estate. The attorney I used, Ryan Cook, returned my call promptly, gave me the option of hourly or flat rate fee, explained what would be involved, then let his paralegal and other staff handle most of the contact with me. I worked with Kendall and Crystal. Both were very responsive and tech savvy. As the pandemic hit and communication everywhere was getting difficult and the probate court had limited access, these women continued to stay in touch and help me through the process, with us all working remotely. We were all experiencing a new way of being in the world and all three of them handled it with grace, humanity and efficiency.

We needed assistance with a Medicaid application and McCulloch & Miller were extremely helpful and expedited the paperwork promptly. We also greatly appreciated the professionalism, and caring manner in which Darby handled our case. If you need assistance, we highly recommend this firm!

They are super friendly, but fall short on clarity of expectations and planning. Also, their response time and communication is something to be desired. Additionally, for me, the costs doubled what they originally told me it would cost. I hired them to manage a Medicaid application for my dad, while eventually he was approved, it was a nightmare and extremely stressful in the process. Upon acceptance, the firm informed me his application would be up for renewal in May. I just received notification from them that the application is up for renewal 14 days from the date of the letter, which was dated 2/11. The firm notified me on 2/15. Within minutes I immediately asked the cost to file the application for me. Two days later I finally received a response stating they would not assist in the matter. This is just one example of the firm's failure to effectively communicate in a timely manner, especially when it pertains to critical timelines and deadlines. Additionally, the sister company, Elder Advisory Group, is a company I highly suggest avoiding at all costs. I was trying to manage my dad from over 1,600 miles away and hired the company to assist. At the end of the process, I ended up doing all of the research on placing my dad. They failed to let me know the place my dad was placed, Grace Care of Katy, was in fact not a fully qualified memory care facility. This allowed my dad to escape multiple times. I was informed by Grace Care of Katy on a Thursday evening, that I needed hire someone to supervise my dad at their facility - and needed to do this by the weekend. Of course, they neglected to call me the other times he was able to exit the facility. Needless to say, overall my experience with Weiner & McCulloch and Elder Advisory Group leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

As both a CPA and and an Attorney, Tom McColloch's approach to his law practice is both thoughtful and dynamic. He genuinely cares about his clients and that's reflected in the energy he invests in his complimentary educational workshops for the community. In addition, Tom has built an excellent team of intelligent and hard working professionals who help make every client of his feel like they're his only client. As a healthcare professional, I've had the chance to refer clients to Weiner & McCulloch, all of whom have went out of their way to call me since and explain how much Tom has helped them. The firm also has an excellent resource in Janet Jackson-McCulloch, the firm's Geriatric Care Manager, ensuring they're uniquely helpful to older adults and their families as they navigate the complexities of long term care.

My mother and I went to McCulloch & Miller to have her will, POA, MPOA, etc. drawn up. Even through quarantine conditions they were professional, timely and very easy to work with. They took the time to make sure we understood all documents and clearly explained which choices my mother needed to consider.
