Our Mission: Protecting What Matters Most

At Burrus Elder Law, we’re more than just a law firm; we’re part of the Arkansas Ozarks community, dedicated to helping our neighbors secure their futures with confidence and peace of mind. Led by Attorney James Burrus, our team combines expert legal knowledge with a compassionate approach, focusing on elder law, estate planning, and Medicaid/nursing home qualification.


Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help Arkansans protect their assets for their family as seamlessly as possible. At Burrus Elder Law, we know that every client’s situation is unique. That’s why we take the time to understand your individual needs, working together to build a path toward a secure, successful estate plan. By prioritizing clarity and guidance, we make the legal journey approachable and informed, empowering you to make decisions that align with your values and goals.

Meet Attorney James J. Burrus

James J. Burrus, a native Arkansan, was born and raised in Harrison and is deeply committed to giving back to the community that shaped him. As an experienced elder law attorney, James is driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those he serves. His approach is rooted in trust, compassion, and respect, ensuring that clients feel supported through every stage of planning. For James, elder law isn’t just about legal documents—it’s about protecting legacies and honoring lives.

At Garza Martinez Law, we focus on listening and showing our clients the compassion they deserve. Needing a personal injury lawyer can feel overwhelming. We understand that. It’s been proven that our compassion and intensity are powerful forces inside and outside of the courtroom and it brings us joy to have found a way to help our clients through difficult times of their lives.
