(2)

At Ozarks Elder Law, we have nearly 70 years of combined experience with 9 offices to better serve our clients in Southwest Missouri. Then in 2013, Zerrer Elder Law became Ozarks Elder Law. From there the firm began expanding into other communities throughout the Ozarks. Our attorneys are members of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA). We are unique because we provide a holisti

c, multi-disciplinary approach to help our clients. As Elder Law attorneys, we consider what is best for our clients from all points of view, including the legal, medical, financial, social and family issues. We approach these issues in an objective way, with a primary emphasis on promoting the highest quality of life dedicated to providing solutions for the elderly, the disabled and their families. As attorneys, we are able to utilize legal tools and techniques to meet the goals and objectives of our clients. As advocates, we assist clients in planning for the possibility of disability, incapacity, home health care, assisted living and/or nursing home placement. Through estate planning and asset protection planning, we help clients to avoid probate and the impoverishment caused by the escalating costs of long term care. We also help our clients maintain their right to make health care and financial decisions through the use of Durable Powers of Attorney.

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Let us take a moment to reflect on the courage, dedication, and selflessness of those who never made it home.

We remember. We honor. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

We are pleased to announce the addition of attorney Brooke Schlesener to Ozarks Elder Law. Brooke is a Southwest Missouri native who recently relocated back
to the area and is excited to serve the communities she calls home.

Brooke earned her undergraduate degree from Florida State University, where she studied Political Science and completed minors in Communications and Marketing. She went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Washburn University School of Law.

Brooke brings a well-rounded legal background with experience in both Missouri and Florida and is dually licensed. Early in her career, she gained extensive experience in family law, developing a strong foundation in guiding clients through complex and often sensitive life transitions. Her background in family law, combined with a genuine passion for helping others, naturally led Brooke to focus her practice in elder law. She is dedicated to assisting individuals and families with thoughtful planning and compassionate guidance, helping clients navigate important decisions with confidence and peace of mind.

Brooke resides in Nixa with her husband and their two young sons. Outside of her work, she values time with her family and is deeply committed to serving her community with integrity and care.

Today we celebrate the women who are on a mission to protect and plan.

The women who walk along side you and fight for you.

The women who lead and support.

The women who listen during the hard moments outside the courtroom and inside the conference room.

Our law firm is strong because of the women who fill it with kindness, advocacy, empathy, resilience, and teamwork.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women who inspire us daily - today we celebrate you! βš–οΈ
