Mortellaro Law

With a combined experience of over 30 years and with offices serving both the Tampa Bay and the Treasure Coast of Florida, Mortellaro Law specializes in Estate Planning, Asset Protection, Medicaid and VA Benefits, and Elder Law. Every day another family faces the uncertainties and complexities surrounding an aging family member. Some are planning ahead. But many others are suddenly thrust into drawing up health care directives, power of attorney documents, wills, or figuring out how to pay for expensive long-term care. And it’s all happening so fast. For over 13 years, owner & founding Attorney Michelangelo Mortellaro has been relieving the stress of these families and providing guidance and solutions. He is a VA-accredited Elder Law Attorney and in Tampa, FL who also practices in Estate Planning working to protect your home and assets, qualify for Medicaid and/or Veterans benefits, and establish a plan for those years ahead. Michelangelo is one of the few Tampa Bay area attorneys with a highly successful record of clients receiving approval for Medicaid and Veterans benefits at the same time. He appreciates the opportunity to guide individuals and families through the challenging maze of end-of-life decisions and issues. “Very few people wake up with the opportunity to help people in a significant way. I get to do that every day I come to work,” Michelangelo says. “We love to meet people who are in crisis mode and say to them, ‘We’ll take the legal aspect of everything you’re dealing with and take it off your plate.’ We want you to leave here feeling like, ‘Oh my gosh, I feel so much better now.’” Every month, Michelangelo and his team are out in the community, speaking at assisted living facilities, nursing homes, rehab centers, and all who will listen. He educates residents, families, veterans and staff members about the many resources for assistance. He serves on the Ethics Committee of Gulfside Regional Hospice and does Pro Bono work for several foundations
