An angel of a Lawyer
Mr. Michael Mascetti is an Elder Law Lawyer who is competent, not after enriching himself, and provides excellent advice for the benefit of the elderly. To us, he is an angel.
Our 90-year old mother had a fall that resulted in encephalopathy - could
not swallow and could only utter the first word of what she wanted to verbalize. We were told by her PCP on Thursday morning that hers is a feeding bag case which is problematic; that we should take her to the hospital later in the day on Friday.
We consulted Attorney Mascetti on Thursday evening who advised us to take our mother to NYU Hospital and to go there EARLY on Friday morning so that specialists could still examine our mother before the weekend.
Consequently, our mother was swiftly given an ER bed with curtain as opposed to waiting a long time, due to triage of dozens of patients, and being on a bed in the corridor which was where many ER patients were later in the day.
Medical tests, diagnosis and assessments were underway without delay. Two days later our mother was swallowing her medications and food as well as speaking full sentences. No feeding bag necessary!
Without angel Michael’s advice, we were leaning towards going to another hospital around noon; the time based on our mother’s PCP’s advice.
We could not have a better elder law lawyer.
