Elder Legal Services – Little Rock, AR

Protecting Legacies and Empowering Seniors

Elder Legal Services (formerly known as Rooster Law Firm, PLLC) is a specialized law practice in Little Rock dedicated exclusively to the needs of the elderly and their families. Founded by the husband-and-wife attorney team of Shane Cox and Amanda Ray Cox, the firm was born out of a desire to provide focused, high-quality representation in a complex area of law. The name ”Rooster” was originally a nod to their surname, Cox, but as their practice evolved, they rebranded to Elder Legal Services to clearly reflect their mission: helping seniors navigate the legal challenges of aging. Unlike general practice firms that dabble in many areas, Shane and Amanda believe that ”less is more.” By restricting their practice solely to estate planning and elder law, they offer a depth of knowledge and experience that ensures clients receive the most up-to-date and effective strategies for protecting their assets and their future.

Comprehensive Estate and Elder Law Solutions

Elder Legal Services provides a holistic approach to planning for later life. They understand that every family’s situation is unique, and they refuse to sell ”cookie-cutter” documents. Instead, they craft custom legal plans designed to meet specific goals. Their core practice areas include:

• Medicaid Planning: Navigating the confusing regulations of Arkansas Medicaid to help clients qualify for long-term care benefits without losing their life savings. They assist with ”spend down” strategies and asset protection trusts.
• VA Benefits: Helping veterans and their spouses understand and apply for the benefits they have earned, such as Aid and Attendance.
• Estate Planning: Drafting robust Wills and Trusts (Revocable and Irrevocable) to ensure that assets are distributed according to the client’s wishes and to minimize tax liabilities.
• Probate and Trust Administration: Guiding families through the legal process after a loved one passes away, making a difficult time as smooth and stress-free as possible.
• Guardianships: Assisting families in obtaining legal authority to care for incapacitated loved ones who can no longer make decisions for themselves.

Amanda Ray Cox brings a detail-oriented approach from her background in bankruptcy law, ensuring that financial aspects are meticulously handled. Shane Cox, with a background in psychology and teaching, excels at explaining complex legal concepts in plain English, making sure every client feels heard and understood.
