Ozarks-Elder-Law

A typical day as Director of Operations starts with confirming all ten offices are covered and ready for all scheduled appointments. I touch base with senior Case Managers to determine if there are any barriers to completing required tasks that day. I meet with my Client Administration Manager who manages the path for all our client files between attorneys and offices. I will also reach out to the Managing Partner daily at least once to see if there is any direction or re direction she needs to provide me. The hardest part of my job is keeping clear, constructive and necessary communication working between staff.  Our culture is do your job with the highest level of professionalism and step up without being asked to help and support fellow team members. "Discipline is Fun" at Ozarks Elder Law. When everyone is working hard and doing their work, it is a fun place to work. My job is to recognize great performance to reward and share with others. I LOVE what I get to do here. 

Working at Ozarks Elder Law has been a rewarding experience and a genuinely fulfilling place to practice law. I take pride in the work I do each day, knowing that I'm making a real difference in the lives of our clients. One of the things I value most is the meaningful face-to-face time we get with the individuals and families we serve, something that’s often missing in other legal settings.

The pace here is steady and engaging. We stay busy, which means staying organized is essential, but I much prefer that over being stuck in an office doing endless research and writing. The legal work is truly impactful.

I’ve also felt incredibly supported by leadership and my colleagues, especially during personal challenges, including family matters and health issues. It’s clear that family is a core value at this firm, not just for our clients, but for employees as well.

There's also a strong sense of community here. We have fun together, enjoy company outings, and there’s a clear investment in our future. Leadership is proactive in hiring consultants and forming internal teams to improve processes, enhance the client experience, and create a better workplace for employees.

I could not have asked for a more meaningful and fulfilling experience during my time at Ozarks Elder Law. From the very beginning, I felt like I was part of the team, and everyone genuinely wanted me to succeed. 

With just one year of law school completed, starting my first legal job was intimidating, but with the support of every staff member at Ozarks Elder Law, that feeling was quickly replaced with excitement for each day. My work never consisted of menial tasks; rather, I was entrusted with meaningful projects, which allowed me to make an impact and deepen my understanding of the various functions of a law firm.

One of my favorite parts of working for this firm was witnessing the true compassion and drive that each employee has to help their clients. I believe this is due to the empathetic, collaborative, and creative culture that Ozarks Elder Law has instilled in its firm. I was impressed by the motivation within the firm to ensure every internal process is efficient so clients receive the best possible experience. It is very clear that at Ozarks Elder Law, they sincerely care about their community and their clients.

I was offered a position at Ozarks Elder Law that I accepted after discussing on-boarding, training and the possibility of advancement in-depth. Two and half weeks in, I was let go with no warning, reason, or any form of previous communication. The only reason I was given was they changed their mind on training someone. If you are looking to get back into a law setting and have experience where they don't have to train you then it might be a good fit. I WOULD NOT recommend leaving another position to work there. The staff were great to work with! However there is a lack of communication and follow through in the training and on-boarding strategies and planning.

Ozarks Elder Law provides me with a sense of belonging, support and makes me feel appreciated. The type of work is interesting and fulfilling yet does not leave me too stressed at the end of the day. If you want an inviting and supportive atmosphere that also provides fulfilling work opportunities, I would recommend applying to work at Ozarks Elder Law. 

Ozarks Elder Law did not properly honor commitments to clients or treat employees well. They were just looking for cheap paydays and someone to write them a check. That wasn't passed on to their non-partner employees either!

While the expectations are high, I believe that the clients benefit from this, and the firm tries really hard to make sure we deliver the best elder law services in Missouri.

Working there was not enjoyable. I found the Big two partners to be shady people focused on profits and politics instead of clients, where their focus should have been.
