"I retained him as a consultant in an elder law matter involving two clients who resided in nursing homes and were applying for Medicaid. There were numerous issues relating to the type of asset which they held and their Medicaid application.
Jerry demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in analyzing the issues and in assisting in the Medicaid application process. His extensive experience in accounting and financial matters helped enormously in untangling the situation and determining how to proceed.
I highly recommend Jerry for further work in this area."

"I recently required an actuary to compute the value of various beneficiaries' interests under a terminating trust, and retained Jerry Reiss to assist with same. There were numerous complicating factors in determining the amount of entitlement for each of the current income beneficiaries. Mr. Reiss clearly outlined the methodology he proposed to use prior to beginning the calculations so that most of the parties would be comfortable with same prior to the majority of the work being undertaken. At the conclusion of the assignment, Mr. Reiss provided us with a well reasoned and thorough analysis of the value of all beneficiaries' interest in the trust. I would gladly use Mr. Reiss again as an actuary in a trust matter."
