From the first day I hired Mortellaro Law until my mother was approved for Medicaid , the experience was a positive one. They are very responsive and knowledgeable and guide you through the entire process. Jeannie Galloway was excellent and was very explanatory on everything. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Michelangelo and staff are just fantastic. He put together the estate plans for my parents. These documents proved crucial over the last year. Anytime, I had a question concerning their affairs he provided me with excellent information. Thank you for your assistance!

Michelangelo took the time to listen and then ask questions - some that I didn't even know to ask -- to help our elderly family members walk down the difficult path of estate planning. He also gave insight into ways to approach family members in a way that didn't hurt feelings when certain difficult decisions were made in the best interest of the clients. He gave ways to protect the assets of the estate and offered creative solutions for designees for things like executing the last will & testament and making healthcare decisions.I felt like he was giving me the same advice that he would give to his own family. He gave bottom-line answers and was straightforward when necessary in order for us to arrive at a plan that our elderly family members can be confident executes their wishes in the best way possible.

I found Mr. Michael Angelo Mortellaro and his staff to be top notch. The staff were courteous and pleasant on the phone, patient with my questions, and returned calls promptly. Attorney Mortellaro was superb in his explanation of all matters related to elder law, including living wills, revocable living trusts, VA benefits for surviving spouses of a veteran. He is also extremely knowledgeable with Medicare and Medicaid. He is truly one of the "good guys" that has a desire to help however he can. And last but not least, he calls you back to answer your questions.

I am so lucky to have spoken to Mike Mortellaro concerning my Veterans Administration dilemma that has gone on for years. Mr. Mortellaro spent a lot of time with me explaining my options in great detail without charging me a dime. He is a real good person - one of the best. Would recommend him to all who need an attorney who is patient and understanding.

My family is so fortunate to have found Mortellaro Law during one of the most painful and stressful times in our lives. My father's health and quality of life changed overnight...and being able to afford care to meet his many needs seemed impossible. Michaelengo put my mind at ease during our first meeting and was the perfect mix of compassionate and professional. Jeannie is wonder woman! She went above and beyond to make things happen quickly, reassuring my family every step of the way. She even met us at the rehab while there were contact precautions. I will be forever grateful to Mortellaro Law...and the people who posted the reviews which led me there.

In the unfortunate situation of loosing both parents at one time Mortellaro Law was quick and very informative of my options. Jeanie Galloway was unbelievable and caring in handling everything. I could not have asked for better understanding from a law firm in a time that you cant think straight.

We have been very pleased with the counsel and services received from the team at Mortellaro Law as it pertains to our Mom's elder affairs, including VA and MD LTC benefits. While MIchaelangelo is a guru on these subjects, he is quite humble and explains the processes in layman's terms. The rates he charges for this type of expertise are very competitive, and I highly recommend his company for help with navigating this complicated spectrum of elder law services!

Exceptional staff, very knowledgeable, professional and personable. Definitely felt at ease as every aspect of our trust was compiled. From the first meeting with Michelangelo and Susan we knew we made the right choice and the assistance by Tobey and others to finalize confirmed it. Thank you to every one at Mortellaro Law for making this so easy on us in our time of need.

Mortellaro Law did exactly what they said they would do to get my father on Medicaid, and to help protect his assets. This was complicated, and if I (as my father's POA) had tried to do it myself, probably wouldn't have been successful. Their single fee structure allowed me to send emails/calls at any time which for someone as detail-oriented as me is important. In the end, we got approved on the exact day they said they would. Much appreciated, and huge stress relief for me!

A couple of years back my mom had a bad fall in her home that resulted in a head injury. Her memory had already, at the time of the accident, been failing somewhat, but with my nephew living with her, she was still able to function quite well. After the fall, the subsequent hospitalization, and the rehab stay, however, it became sadly apparent that she would not be able to live alone and I was forced to find a place for her to stay. The task of finding suitable housing for an elderly person with memory loss is, in itself, a challenge. But, though difficult, it is not impossible. Unfortunately, a facility with a compassionate and caring staff in a homely atmosphere comes at a price. And my resources, much like my mothers, were not unlimited. So, I needed help.My father, who has been gone for some time now, was retired military. I knew that there were VA benefits for surviving spouses of vets who had served during wartime, (my dad was a veteran of WWII), but I did not know how to obtain those benefits for my mother. I tried to talk with the VA, but they only confused me. I just didn’t understand their procedures. My feelings of overwhelm and frustration were skyrocketing and and I was unsure of how to proceed. My mom needed these benefits, my father had earned them, and I was failing to procure them for her. What was already a difficult time in my life, was only getting worse.I knew I needed help, so I decided to seek the advice of an attorney. And by pure good fortune, I called Michelangelo Mortellaro. And for me and my family, this was the dawn at the end of a very dark night. Within days of my call I had an appointment at his office. He listened to my entire story, took notes, and asked questions. Then he told me exactly how we needed to proceed to obtain my mom’s benefits. By the end of our meeting, we had a plan. And not a vague, do this and call me plan, but a complete and detailed strategy for complying with all the VA’s regulations. Mr. Mortellaro understood how the VA worked, he understood their procedures, their requirements, and he knew the answer to their questions. The process for obtaining benefits moved along exactly as he said it would. I completed the application for benefits to the VA and within weeks the direct deposits began coming to my moms checking account. My mothers VA benefits check was money sorely needed. But I do not believe it would have happened without the guidance, knowledge, and instruction provided by Mr. Mortellaro. My father made some huge sacrifices during the second World War. He would be very happy that my mom was now receiving benefits for his sacrifices. He would be proud of me for seeing to it that this all happened during her time of need. And, he would be very grateful to Mr. Mortellaro for looking after his family at a time when he could not. And, so too, am I. Vickie McClintock Key

We would like to thank Michaelangelo and his staff for all their help and guidance in dealing with settling our Dad's estate. They were always available to answer our questions and help us evaluate our options. Everyone was very helpful, professional, and caring.

I was impressed with Michelangelo Mortellaro from my first contact with him. I had left a voicemail message late on a Saturday night that I'd like to discuss my dad's situation with him. He returned my call the next day while on a family outing! Michelangelo's unlimited availability was repeatedly confirmed while working with him and his very friendly firm. When meeting with him in person or on the phone, he never seemed to be in a hurry, addressing each question and concern in a knowledgeable and articulate manner. I whole-heartedly recommend Mortellaro Law for one's Elder Care needs!

Ana Frelita is just as sweet as they come! I called to see if they could help us out with a POA for a borrower as I work for a mortgage company in KS. She went out of her way to help us and was actually working from home sick at the time. I could not have asked for a better experience and will remember this firm if I am ever needing legal assistance in Tampa in the future!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience getting our estate documents prepared at Mortellaro Law. Michelangelo, Susan and the rest of the staff were very knowledgeable, professional and efficient as well as personable and helpful. They spent plenty of time with us to make sure we understood the nuances of the various documents and why we needed them. All our questions were answered quickly and clearly. After going through the process with Mortellaro Law, we’re confident we received the best possible advice regarding estate planning.

I help take care of 80 senior citizens. In the past I have been part of many will readings and probate disbursements. In every case, the heirs complain about , "What happened to all the money." or" That's not what the will said." It wasn't until I met Michelangelo Mortellaro that I finally understood why. Every case I have been involved in as a Pastor was drawn up NOT to benefit the heirs, not one as they intended before their death. They assumed so, but after the attorney fees, probate fees, court cost, realtor fees , the heirs fighting and Medicare collecting money from the estate. Sometimes the heirs OWED money to the courts. Michelangelo Mortellaro has begun to educate me so now I can guide the 80 in my charge so that truly the wishes of the deceased are honored.

Hello my name is Joseph Kaufman I had to say Michelangelo and his staff were the best I ever had the pleasure of working with. My father needed long term care we went to a attorney in Zephyerhills FL and was given the wrong info and guidance my wife and I were so stressed, Medicaid was so confusing and as mentioned with the wrong info and guidance it was horrible then we went to Michelangelo's office. He is Hands down one of the smartest men I know his staff simply outstanding they not only fixed all the mistakes and got my father set but the did it so fast him and his staff are so efficient it is refreshing to know there are still great people out there. Thank you all so much and I will refer Mortellaro law office to everyone. 5 star for sure!!!! Sincerely Joseph Kaufman

I just had a very informative, free consult with attorney Michelangelo Mortellaro. He was incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer all of my questions honestly about VA benefits and Medicaid. He was able to give realist estimates on cost of his services. I would definitely recommend that you talk to him about you or your parents needs.

I contacted Mortellaro Law for help with my mother applying for Medicaid. Michelangelo was kind enough to schedule my 30 consultation around my work schedule at a time both my wife and I could be on the phone. After listening to our particular situation he gave us the advice we needed. He gave clear easy to understand answers that spelled out exactly where we were and what we should do. Then he basically told us IF we got to a point that we needed his services he would be glad to provide them, but at this point we did not need his help and that it wouldn’t be fair to take our money. That right there told me I was talking to someone I could trust. If and when we get to the point that we need legal service I won’t consider anyone else. If you need an elder law specialist I would encourage you to call!

Updated 2/14/2019We have been serving the Hillsborough and Pasco senior communities for over 11 years now. We have worked with numerous Elder Care Attorneys over those years. Michelangelo Mortellaro is at the top of the list. We have referred him to prospects, clients and even our own family members. He is very knowledgeable and hardworking; but just as important, he is very ethical and trustworthy. Over the years as his practice has grown, he has surrounded himself with a very strong team that has helped maintain his ability to provide outstanding service in a responsive manner. Last but not least, we have been impressed with his commitment to giving back to the community. From underwriting Better Living for Seniors events to sponsoring Veterans Recognition programs at different communities to free consultations, he continues to invest time and resources in support of the seniors he serves. If you looking for Medicaid planning services, help with Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits, Estate Planning, creation of Advance Directive documents, etc. we strongly recommend Mortellaro Law.Arthur and Freida MoseleyOwnersGriswold Home Care Tampa/Pasco

I just wanted to truly say thank you to the firm for handling the case when others said it couldn’t be done because my grandma was over income and had too much assets, but Mortellaro law took care of everything, got my grandma from A to Z and she started receiving Medicaid as well as informing me of the VA benefits she could receive because my grandpa was in the service!!!! I would highly recommend this firm to everyone, Michelangelo and the staff are beyond helpful and truly compassionate especially when dealing with all of my families questions and concerns! Thank you

What a great experience! I was in constant knowledge of what was happening with my case ; Mortellaro law held my hand every step of the way, if I ever had any questions I was able to call and get answers right away. most attorneys offices you call and they tell you they will call you back and then don’t and you can never get direct answers, BUT Mortellaro law is truly a different experience all together! Highly recommended!

My experience with Michelangelo and his staff at his law firm has been impressive. They have a long family history in the Tampa Bay area and have a solid reputation for getting things done. They empathize with your concerns and were proactive with details to make the process seamless. What impressed me most was after I shared where I needed help with Medicaid and VA benefits, Michelangelo was told me that he would not take on my case because he felt like I was doing everything right already and that he would be just taking my money... He said he didn't feel right about doing that when I was already on top of it. However, he did give me his time, he followed up weekly and put in quite a bit of effort in my opinion for someone who "didn't actually take my case". That's an ethical man and company.
