THE STORY OF HENRY PAPIEKA ( continued from home page )

Henry was very distraught. Frankly, he was worried sick. His wife had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease long time ago and he has had taken care of her for 7 years at home. But recently she had fallen and broken her hip and was placed in a Nursing Home, the one who had referred Henry to us.

The attorney had given Henry advice that was as wrong as it could be. He'd told Henry to cash in all his annuities, cash in his CDs, to make up a story and transfer assets to a cousin, buy a new Cadillac and so forth. When we looked at Henry's situation, we discovered that none of these "solutions" had been needed at all. Henry's financial position before he had done any of these actions was such that he was only a little bit over what was allowed by law to be eligible for Medi Cal benefits. Each step Henry had taken had been for nothing. Moreover, following the bad advice had significantly worsened Henry's financial position.

Medi Cal Advisors went to work reverting what Henry had done as laid out by his attorney friend. The Cadillac was handled by Ms. Katouzi, founder of Medi Cal Advisors, telephoning to the Cadillac dealer that had sold the car to Henry. After explaining what had taken place, Ms. Katouzi was successful in getting the dealership to take back the car and give Henry a full and complete refund on his purchase price for the automobile.

Next were his investments.

Step by step, Ms. Katouzi handled Henry's situation. She even contacted the attorney friend who had ill advised Henry and got the ex Naval officer to take responsibility for his well intentioned but seriously flawed solutions. The attorney friend saw that he had been wrong. Encouraged by Ms. Katouzi, he paid Henry the sum it had cost Henry in losses to carry out the unnecessary handling. In the end, Henry and his wife were able to keep their assets as well as the income to which they were entitled under Social Security. Ms. Katouzi saved Henry and his wife their life savings and their assets and she did it through her complete knowledge and exceptional capacity to provide personal care and service on an immediate, one on one basis.

No one was happier than Henry Papieka

MORE TESTIMONIALS AND SUCCESS STORIES...

To Whom It May Concern:

It is rare in the business world to find individuals whose motivation in life is not based upon money, as money is the main reason most people enter the world of commerce. In fact there are two types of motivation in the business world, though one is so unusual that it is not always recognized when it appears. It is a much higher form of motivation than money. It is DUTY motivation.

Persons motivated by duty are found more often in leading positions in charitable organizations or in social betterment groups. But when such an individual appears in the business world, that person takes on an aura of sainthood after awhile without anyone really understanding why. The answer is DUTY motivation. That person is motivated by a duty to his or her clients. That person CARES and will go out of his or her way for the well being of a client, understanding and assisting way beyond the normal call of a commercial relationship.

Such a person is MS. TABI KATOUZI, an attorney practicing law in Los Angeles, California. In my experience working with Ms. Katouzi, I found her to be professional in every way and I learned that she is one of those rare individuals whose motivation toward her clients is the highest grade of motivation there is: duty motivation. If only others in the business world were as professional, caring and duty motivated as she, the world would be a much different and a much more pleasant place!

To Whom It May Concern:

When my wife had a stroke and had to go from the hospital to a nursing home, I was devastated. Had no idea what to do, emotionally drained and fearful that financially would be wiped out. The nursing home put me in touch with Medi Cal Advisors. Tabi was a godsend. She met with me, devised a plan and executed it with near perfection. My wife got on Medi Cal, I got to keep all of our income and she managed to get the court to transfer our house into my name. She was there every step of the way. She gave me peace of mind, when I needed it the most. She is more than an attorney, she is a trusted friend.

Dear Ms. Katouzi:

I would like to thank you for your help in getting my mother approved for full Medi-Cal benefits, for helping me to understand the process along the way, and for giving me advice on how to find placement for her in a nursing home. Since our first meeting in your office, I could see that you were sincere and would put forth your best efforts to help my mother and I with our situation. I was impressed with your compassion, caring and the speed with which, you accomplished the complicated task of getting her on Medi-Cal and saving my dad’s home and other assets.
Based on my experience with your office, I will certainly recommend your services to anyone that I know or meet who may need them. I have appreciated your professionalism with this matter and you can be assured that I will seek your office out for any future legal issues as the may arise.

To Whom It May Concern:

My mom was an accomplished businesswoman. She became gravely ill and the Nursing Home became a possibility. I did not know what to do, where to go. One of my customers gave me Tabi's number and told me she is the best. Just call her. I did and it was the best thing I have ever done. She made everything clear for me. Advised on what to do. She became so involved with our lives that the first person I called when my mom finally passed away, was her. She was my guardian Angel. I will never forget her care, concern, knowledge and professionalism.

To Whom It May Concern:

When my aunt became incapacitated to the point where she could no longer remain in the Senior Citizens' Home she was in, I had no idea what to do, fearful that financially she would be wiped out. I had to plan on moving her to a convalescent care facility where she could get much greater nursing care as her incontinence and senility worsened. The Senior Citizen's Home put me in touch with a Medi Cal Advisor, Ms. Tabi Katouzi. She was a godsend! She met with me, devised a plan and executed it nearly perfectly. Through careful planning with Tabi, my aunt was able to qualify for Medi Cal and still preserve what capital she had left. Ms. Katouzi was there every step of the way. She gave me the peace of mind when I needed it most. She is more than an attorney, she is a trusted friend.

Dear Ms. Katouzi,

Thank you for your expertise in asset protection. Your professionalism and knowledge of Medi Cal guidelines ranks you as one of the leaders in your profession.
As a social worker in the long term care industry, I am faced with the challenge of providing necessary resources. Several months ago, I was asked by a family for some advice on qualifying for Medi Cal when one exceeds the financial limits and faced with the burden of caring for their loved one while trying to maintain the home. As I pondered their dilemma, I recalled a lecture given by you to the families of our facility. I referred that family to you. And with(in) a few weeks you proved to be a true expert. Your hard work provided not only the needed resources but peace of mind as well.
As a social worker I want to thank you personally for helping so many of our families. Qualifying for Medi Cal, whether one has substantial assets or just a nest egg, is as easy as calling Tabi Katouzi.

Sincerely,

Patricia Gray
