Jacqui Maxon

Hi, I’m Jacqui Maxon. My first experience with dementia was when my parents moved my grandmother to New Hampshire to live with us because it became evident that she could no longer live alone. I was starting college and I helped care for her when I was home, but I also saw first-hand what it takes to care for an elderly loved one suffering from the cruelness of dementia.

I graduated college with a degree in early childhood education and worked in that field for many years. But, in 2018 my career path took an unexpected turn. After a short early retirement phase, Claudia and I talked about a new, second career as a paralegal. We had been friends for many years and shared a heartfelt desire to help families experiencing disability. 

I joined Disability Planning Partners to work with specialized Medicaid programs, Federal and State benefits, with a deep desire to help elders navigate health conditions related to aging, with a special interest in helping families plan for a family member with dementia. I easily connect with and understand the unique needs of all of our clients. In 2020, I became more involved in the complex planning solutions the Firm offers, and I now serve as the Managing Paralegal for all client matters. I approach my work and my clients with warmth and a great sense of humor!

• A perfect day is when I can make a difference in a client’s day/life.

• I love when our clients tell me they feel like we are family.

• I hope our clients know that I truly care for them and can empathize with what they are going through and that I will do everything in my power to make the Medicaid process as easy as possible.
