Our family has been a client of Selis Elder Law of Florida for the past three years. We actually followed Scott Selis from another law firm because of Scott Selis' expertise and compassion. A couple of his expert staff went with Scott when he opened his own law firm. This says a lot about his character and integrity. Scott's guidance in creating two trusts for our family made it easy and he answered very question that we had. If you or your family needs an Elder law firm we highly recommend Selis Elder Law of Florida. You will be very pleased with the care that he and his staff show you and most importantly the results.

This firm provides a specialized law practice in estate and elder law that has proved invaluable to our family.

In our experience general practice attorneys who do not specialize in estate planning and execution do not offer all of the services needed for effective estate settlement. Scott takes the time to carefully evaluate each client's specific situation and needs. He listens carefully before making any recommendations...
