Like many other elder law attorneys, Jonathan Rouse first started in estate planning and just recently decided to incorporate elder law.
In the fall of 2018, Jonathan joined ElderCounsel and attended the Elder Law Immersion and Practice-Building Camp. While attending the camp, he started to question if there was a demand for an elder law attorney in his small town and approached ElderCounsel CEO Valerie Peterson with his concerns.
“I remember Valerie told me, ‘A small town is perfect. It’s an untapped market. You’re going into an area where nobody else is doing this and you’re going to have more business than you can handle.’ ”
Jonathan fully submerged himself into ElderCounsel resources and within a year of joining, his elder law practice took off. New clients were coming in looking for legal services only he could provide and business has increased so much that he decided to hire an additional associate and staff member.
Jonathan’s success is an excellent example of how an ElderCounsel membership can transform your practice. Contact us today and let’s discuss how we can support your law firm as we have for Jonathan.
Find a Sense of Community
Stephanie Buffa, ElderCounsel Member
As a solo practitioner, Stephanie was responsible for drafting and updating documents for her clients. The majority of her time was spent updating documents to meet state and federal regulations and laws. She wanted time back in her day so she could be more attentive to her clients’ needs. She decided to join ElderCounsel so she could have up to date documents all of the time.
Finding a sense of community among ElderCounsel members has been one of Stephanie’s favorite parts of becoming a member herself. “I do find that a lot of attorneys that practice in the elder law area are always looking to help each other,” said Stephanie, “and it’s no different with the members of ElderCounsel.”

Testimonials
“After being a member of WealthCounsel for a few years, I learned that many of the clients I work with really needed more of protection of assets and nursing home concerns. The people at ElderCounsel are phenomenal and you are never treated as an outsider.”
