Marissa DeBellis is a Florida Bar Board Certified Attorney, a designation which only 5% of Florida attorneys have earned.  She has spent her career specializing in Elder Law, Estate Planning, Long-Term Care Planning, Probate and Trust Administration, and Special Needs Planning.  After graduating law school with high honors, she began career at a well-respected boutique Elder Law firm in New York, focusing primarily on Estate Planning, Medicaid Planning, and obtaining government benefits for her clients.  Marissa moved to Florida in 2015 and emphatically states that she is "never going back."  Her practice in Florida gave her the opportunity to become a more well-rounded Trusts and Estates attorney by dealing with high net worth estates and tax issues.  

 

She continues to work with clients in Florida and New York, and specializes in developing creative plans for clients who share their time between New York and Florida, or have transitioned from one state to the other. Her in-depth experience in the practice of estate planning and elder law in New York has enabled her to bring new techniques and ideas to her practice of law in Florida.
