Medicaid Long Term Care Program - Success !

Rapidly handled our blindsided medical crisis need to qualify for medicaid long term care program. I had suddenly lost my husband as the man I knew and was looking to lose everything we had worked for. This firm's medicaid case mgr, Jeannie Galloway, took the stress off of my shoulders with patie...nce & compassion for my emotional state of mind. Jeannie patiently explained and answered my many questions thru out the process. When the stakes are high and the need is immediate, this is the firm to hire. So very grateful to Mortellaro Law and Jeannie Galloway for turning my world right-side-up again! Words fail to describe their amazing, amazing work!

Hands down the BEST law firm in Florida

Folks, Michelangelo is the real deal.  I wrote a review a few months ago on behalf of his staff when my father-in-law was in need of Medicaid services, but had not had the pleasure of speaking with the man himself until this morning. What a down-to-earth, caring and honest guy!  He and his staff help...ed us through the maze of Medicaid approval and we were headed down the path for VA approval before my father-in-law unexpectedly passed away. We can't thank Michelangelo and his staff enough for all of their guidance as we navigated through the process. They held our hand every step of the way through a difficult time. We could not have done it without them.Hands down, this is the BEST Elder Care law firm in the entire state of Florida and we are so lucky and appreciative we found them!

VA Benefits

We can’t thank Michaelangelo and Machelle enough for all the assistance they gave my Mother. For several issues due to the VA they worked endlessly to resolve the problems. I feel they went above and beyond what they expected her case would require. For close to two years they responded to all of ...our communications, assuring us that they were continuing to strive to get my Mother the benefits she deserved. We are so very thankful for their efforts and it certainly paid off! Thank you, Michaelangelo and Machelle!

Our lives are changed forever

Michelangelo and staff did out will, trust, estate planning, and Medicaid Benefits. After our Medicaid in home care started our lives changed. We were hopeless and struggling. I had a hard time working and caring for my husband. I feel like a burden has been lifted and he is getting the care he n...eeds. THANK YOU!

Highly recommend

Thank you so much Michelangelo for helping us with my dad situation. The guidance you provided us was invaluable at a time we had lost all hopes. We were able to get his legal matter resolved in the best possible way because of you. We thank you and your office team very very much for being so knowle...dgeable and helpful throughout the entire process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
