ElderCounsel membership and software
“I wanted to thank Brian again for coming to my rescue in the wee hours of Sunday morning. You told me exactly what I needed to know to solve the technical problem I was having, thereby saving me much worry for the rest of the weekend. The more I use ElderDocx, the more I appreciate what a great program it is. The substantive content is outstanding, and your formatting gives ElderDocx documents an extremely professional look and makes it easy for clients to navigate through them."

“I'm a solo practitioner, so efficiency and value are crucial. I am a member of ElderCounsel because they provide both efficiency and value. Their document drafting system allows me to draft easy-to-understand estate planning and Medicaid planning documents in a fraction of the time it used to take me. ElderCounsel’s comprehensive package not only offers the best drafting software but the support and training to get the most out of the software. In addition, the members-only listserv is worth the price all by itself. Being able to ask a question and get an immediate answer by some of the leading Medicaid experts in the country gives me great confidence in the services I provide my clients.”

"….ElderCounsel carries forward the drafting system excellence of its sister organization, WealthCounsel. However, ElderCounsel organizers and staff are particularly sensitive to the state specific needs of elder law practitioners; they are most responsive and proactive with state statutory and regulatory changes requiring adjustments to the drafting system. This is not a “one size for all states” drafting system leaving a busy solo or small firm to spend hours making state specific adjustments. ElderCounsel’s educational opportunities are superb and the drafting system support is unparalleled. This cutting edge organization is essential for establishing or maintaining document efficiency for any elder law firm.”

“No practice development program I have been associated with in my elder law practice has excited me as much as the new ElderCounsel initiative. I practice elder law with a heavy concentration of Medicaid planning. I know the immense value from quality systems, sound processes and excellent elder law attorney colleagues. ElderCounsel membership provides all of these and more.”

“I wanted to thank you for the time you spent talking to me at the Planning 4 Generations conference in Chicago. I am just starting out in my own elder law practice and two of the BEST decisions that I have made to date are joining ElderCounsel and attending the conference. I attended every session presented by Lou Pierro and the other founders of ElderCounsel and felt the materials were oustanding.”

Educational programs Medicaid Immersion and Practice-Building Camp“I learned more from Val, Marty, and Steve in this three days than in the last ten years of CLEs I've attended - and it was practical learning, so I'll actually be able to use it! Making new friends was equally beneficial. Best money I've ever spent."
Libby King, Attorney at Law
Richmond, Texas
“Although I have 8 years of experience with Medicaid planning, I went to the Camp and brought two of my staff with me. The practice building and coaching sessios from Steve Riley were alone worth my time and investment for our office team. The program exceeded my expectations. My team members learned more in three days about how to structure a Medicaid planning practice than my experience alone could have taught in three years. The basics of planning don't seem to change but I always learn something new (and marketable) as I did in the Immersion Camp."his course is a must.”
Robert McClelland, Attorney at Law
Lexington, Kentucky
“It was, truly, one of the GREATEST events I have ever attended. Substantively, it was full of information. But from a practical standpoint, I am taking more away from this program that I can actually use in my practice than I have taken away from a program - ever."nar.”
Heinz Brisske, Attorney at Law
Wheaton, Illinois
“For members that are fairly new to elder law/medicaid planning this course is a must. Even the more seasoned attorney will get some incredibly valuable information and ideas from the class. All the instructors were wonderful. Overall the is one of the best courses I have attended.”
Lance D. Like, Attorney at Law

“As a newbie to this whole process I can attest this course is a must if you want to practice in this area. It was a lot of fun and I learned more than my old brain could probably handle but kudos to Valerie, Steve, and Marty and all who participated for a first rate course and life changer."
