We moved to Kentucky and needed some major changes to our estate planning documents due to an ongoing medical issue. We consulted with attorney Mark Maddox at Elder Law Lawyers and he was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable in our areas of concern. Both he and his paralegal, Nancy Jolly, provided the assistance we needed in a professional and caring manner. Highly recommend!

Derek Humfleet is very knowledgeable, personable and spent all the time we needed to help us understand differences between several types of estate plans, and the advantages and disadvantages of each one. He answered all our questions with patience and clear explanations. He and the staff were very responsive to follow-up questions and gave us a very detailed plan of action. I highly recommend this firm and Derek in particular for estate Planning.

I worked with Mark Maddox and Nancy Jolly. Both were very professional yet very approachable and helpful. I needed instruction and assistance regarding financial and healthcare powers-of-attorney, a revised last will and testament, and whether establishing a family trust was advisable. The initial consultation was excellent and thorough. I was asked questions regarding our current family situation and our long-term desires and then given different options that could be pursued. I was quoted the cost of each option and given time to consider what approach I thought was best. There were no high-pressure sales tactics. After selecting the approach we thought best, we gave Mark the go-ahead. From that point on, Mark and Nancy did all the work to gather the needed information and prepared all the documentation to execute the approved plan. They then inquired about when the best time to execute the documentation was and offered several dates and times for us to choose the best time for all of the family to gather and sign the documentation. At the time of signing, Mark and Nancy explained the purpose of each document and the responsibility of each person to whom that document applied. They further identified options that were available for future action if deemed appropriate. Time was made to ask any questions or ask for clarification of any item or document. Upon completion of the signing process, each family member was offered both paper and digital copies of every document. Additionally, instructional letters were included to advise each family member of their responsibilities and any actions they needed to perform to complete the process (i.e., documents to be filed with the county clerk and insurance changes). He further offered to answer any questions anyone might think of in the future. He also requested we contact him if there were any changes in the family situation that might necessitate relevant action on his part. Mark provided clear advice and recommendations. He offered examples of situations to help clarify the intent of the approaches he was offering. Nancy was extremely helpful in assisting us in the entire process of appointments, payments, and documentation. I originally chose Elder Law Lawyers because this is all that they do. They are not just one branch of law among many but specialize in elder law exclusively. Based on my current experience, I'm glad I chose them.

We needed an estate planner to set up a trust for us and Derek Humfleet, at Elder Law Lawyers, was beyond what we could have found!! We gave him all of our information and in a couple weeks he put together a trust that fit our needs!!!! His instructions were very detailed, thorough and covered all of our concerns! I was most impressed with all of the research and how he addressed each topic in great detail! At signing, he put together a binder for us that was separated by sections and labeled, which included a summary page with instructions and even instructions for our tax preparer, our trust, a will and separate pages that needed to be recorded at the courthouse. Everything was so clearly marked and easy to understand with an open invitation to call anytime with questions or concerns!! Thanks Derek and team!!!!!

Working with Derek at Elder Law was an incredibly positive experience during what was otherwise a very difficult and emotional family situation. From our first conversation, Derek was responsive, professional, and deeply compassionate. He took the time to understand not only the legal complexities of our case, but also the personal dynamics involved, which made all the difference. Throughout the process, Derek was consistently available, kept us informed, and provided clear, practical guidance that helped us navigate some very challenging decisions. He never rushed us, always listened, and treated every conversation with care and respect. It’s rare to find an attorney who blends legal expertise with empathy so well. We're truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with guardianship, estate matters, or elder care legal issues.

After my mother got sick, we had no choice but to place her with assisted care. My parents didn't have a large estate but it was passed down from generation to generation and my parents hadn't done what they needed to in order to ensure it stayed in the family. Working with the team at Elder Law Lawyers, they were able to guide us through the process of how to handle the situations in front of us and help us preserver our family heritage. Very pleased with the results of working with the Elder Law Lawyers team.

Communication is huge when you are doing something as critically important as a trust. When I ask a legal question about something I know nothing about, I expect that my attorney will make the effort to respond quickly and with terminology a layperson can understand. Having worked with Matthew Smith at Elder Law, I am completely confident my affairs are in order & my children won’t be tied up in probate court for months….spending money they shouldn’t have to spend.

From the first moment I called the Lexington office who immediately got me appointment that afternoon with Mark Maddox, my experience has been outstanding with Laura Helvey and Mark Maddox‘s team. My brother and I were suddenly put in a situation that we never expected to be in with our father. He had a sudden illness that was gonna require long-term care with a very complicated situation financially that has a significant impact on Medicaid. We took all of our documentation and everything we knew about my father’s estate To Mark and his team and they reassured us they could help us. They have helped and advised us in every way possible to make this very difficult and unexpected situation more manageable And allowed us to focus on my dad’s health. Laura has been exceptionally vital in helping us with the Medicaid application and all the other complicated scenarios and questions relative to our situation. They were able to guide us and navigate All things required to ensure my dad had the best possible care with the financial situation we were in. If you need to get Medicaid for a loved and help with all the care complicated estate matters this is the team to hire!!! They are fantastic and I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura and how absolutely amazing she is!!!!

My siblings and I have only the greatest praise for this law firm. During the time of applying for Medicaid for our mother, we would have really messed up the process due to our lack of correct information. However, with expert Medicaid assistance from Laura Helvey several missteps were averted and the application was completed. As it would happen, our mother passed away before the application was submitted. After all the time and effort Mark Maddox and Laura invested in our case, we were given a very generous refund of their fee because Mom passed before some of the work was completed. We HIGHLY recommend Elder Law of Lexington !!!!

Our experience with Elder Law Lawyers in Ft. Mitchell has been nothing but positive. Their free no obligation Elder Law workshop at the Kenton County Library with Matthew Smith was very eye opening and very instrumental in getting us to move forward. Matthew was great mixing a little humor in with a very important subject matter and kept things interesting. We scheduled a consultation with them to have our Wills, Advanced Directives etc., taken care of and the process was seamless. Our friends who attended the same workshop with us also made an appointment and used their services. We worked with Shelley Dowell and it was a pleasure! She is very knowledgeable and so easy to work with. She offered great insight in helping us make decisions on what we felt was right for our family. We appreciated their flat fee rate and thought it was very fair. We highly recommend Shelley, Matthew & the Elder Law Lawyers in Ft Mitchell. Cindy Rumage

If you are seeking an attorney to advise on the protection of your estate (whether large or consisting only of your house), or to help a loved one apply to Medicaid, please go to ElderLaw Lawyers (McClelland & Associates). A good friend had told me how pleased he was with the knowledge and expertise of Elderlaw Lawyers’ Mark Maddox, Attorney at Law. I went to him not only about protecting my estate for my only child, but also about all proper legal documents necessary for my sister, who is a nursing home resident. Mark spent two hours with my husband and me, never rushing, and told us each and every step to take for ourselves, as well as for my sister. I followed his instructions to a T, and could not believe how much foresight he had and how well everything worked out over time. As well, because my sister has difficulty walking, Mark met me at my sister’s nursing home to have my sister sign all the needed documents. Again, he explained everything thoroughly to my sister and was so kind and patient. Mark is a true gentleman. A year later, my sister’s funds were exhausted (after four years of expensive nursing home care), and I needed to apply on her behalf for Medicaid. I had no idea how to even begin, and it was of great importance to me that I do everything properly for someone I cherish. I reached out to Mark, again meeting with him. He brought his Medicaid expert to our meeting. She is a lovely lady named Laura Helvey. It turns out that Laura had worked for Medicaid for 25 years, and when she retired from the State, Mark reached out to her to become part of their firm. I couldn’t have been more lucky. Laura knows more about the Medicaid application process than probably anyone in Central Kentucky (except those working for Medicaid). She devoted herself to my sister’s case, which was complicated because some of my sister’s income sources were from Canada (think of the ever-changing exchange rate problems alone). Just like Mark, Laura gave me precise instructions on all documents I needed to obtain. All I had to do was follow Laura’s directions, which I happily did. True to my experience with Mark, everything worked out perfectly, due to Laura’s high level of knowledge, diligence, and patience. Believe me, applying for Medicaid successfully is no easy feat. But Laura, Mark, and ElderLaw Lawyers saw me through the entire process with the State granting Medicaid approval. You could not be in more trustworthy and experienced hands than I was, and knowing that my sister is safe is everything to me. These are beautiful and extraordinary legal professionals, and they have my highest recommendation.

I cannot say enough good things about this group.
