Honored eight times. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated again as Northern California Super Lawyers.
We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are working hard for our clients and their loved ones. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.
We have a new conservatorship client, who hired us in place of their previous counsel. We were shocked to see the fee request that attorney submitted, and was awarded by the Court. It was in the neighborhood of $33,000 to establish an uncontested conservatorship and settle the first account. If we charged those types of fees, it would make it impossible for us to sleep at night. We charge a fraction of that outrageous fee and feel it is a duty and responsiblity to save the money for the care of the conserved person.

Honored again. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated as Northern California Super Lawyers. Katherine and Srinoi have been included each year, beginning in 2008.
We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are still here, with our heads down, working hard for our clients. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.
One small example: we make extraordinary efforts to settle a matter on the first date scheduled by the Court (the alternative is known as “continuing” a hearing, and puts it off to a later date, usually 6 weeks in the future). This may seem a trivial thing, but it avoids hourly charges to our clients for traveling to a hearing, waiting for the case to be called, appearing before the Judge, and traveling back to the office. In order to accomplish this, we strive to have our petitions “pregranted” by the Court, i.e., the Court finds no issue with the petition and issues the Order without the costly necessity of an appearance. In the cases where the Court does have questions, they typically make those known a day or two before the hearing. Rather than continue the hearing, we drop everything and draft a “clearing declaration” to address the Court’s concerns, get our client’s signature on it, and file it with the Court, usually on the same day. This is just one of the many ways we strive to protect the interests of our clients — both legal and financial.

Health Care Reform Legislation Benefits Seniors
Posted by Katherine A. Montgomery under losr Long Term CareLeave a Comment
n passing health care reform, Congress included provisions that are beneficial to seniors. Among those are the following:
- A phase out of the Medicare Part D “donut hole” or “coverage gap” by 2020
- The elimination of Part D cost-sharing for full-benefit dual eligible beneficiaries (those eligible for both Medicare and Medi-Cal/Medicaid) receiving home-based and community-based services
- Increased federal funding for states that provide home-based and community-based services for seniors with Alzheimers rather than only providing care through nursing homes
- Beginning next year, Medicare coverage without cost for preventive care services, such as colorectal screenings, mammograms and an annual wellness visit and creation of a personalized prevention and assessment plan
- An estimated 9-year extension of the Medicare Trust Fund beyond the previously-estimated 2017 depletion
Seniors are living longer and healthier, in large part due to prescription medications which sometimes consume a significant portion of the average senior’s budget. Medicare Part D is a prescription drug program, which pays part of the costs of a person’s prescription drugs for a monthly premium, at least until the person reaches the “donut hole”. In the 2010 Medicare Part D plans, the “donut hole” starts when the retail cost of the medications (not what the senior pays) reaches $2,830 and continues until the retail cost of the medication reaches $6,440, which is when the Medicare Part D beneficiary has spent $4,550 in out of pocket costs for their medications. The $4,550 does not include the portion of their prescription expenses paid by the insurance carrier or their monthly premiums. The existence of the “donut hole” creates quite a financial burden for many seniors. Beneficiaries reaching the “donut hole” in 2010 will receive a one-time $250 rebate. Over the next decade the “donut hole” will be phased out until it is eliminated in 2020.
Some of the additional benefits for seniors are an increase in primary care doctors, nurses, and physician assistants to provide better access to care through expanded training opportunities, student loan forgiveness, and bonus payments; increased support for community health centers; community health teams to coordinate patient care; and programs directed to reducing re-admissions to the hospital when patients are discharged.
