Barry, the Founder and CEO of The Siegel Law Group, P.A., is dedicated to enhancing the lives of others and simplifying their affairs. Barry’s focus on Estate Planning and Elder Law begins with his grandmother, Betty. She did not have long term care insurance. When she fell on ill health, she had to spend down her assets until she had none left. That experience had a profound effect on him—catalyzing his mission to help others avoid those kinds of hardships. He believes people should be able to age with dignity; to have their needs met as they get older; to feel like a joy and not a burden to their families; and to leave proud legacies behind.
Now, with over 20 years of experience as an Estate Planning and Elder Law attorney, Barry has advised thousands of individuals and families on various matters, including Trust and Estate Planning, Asset Protection employing both domestic and international strategies, Elder Law Planning, Medicaid Planning, and Veterans Benefits. Throughout his career, he has represented beneficiaries and fiduciaries on estates and trusts concerning tax, probate, and trust law issues.
Transitioning from his role as a practicing attorney, Barry now concentrates on nurturing his legal and leadership team, instilling in them the same meticulous care he has demonstrated for decades. With an emphasis on education, Barry has authored and co-authored numerous articles on Estate Planning and Asset Protection strategies, including The Book of Estate Planning Strategies. He contributes as a columnist for the Boca Raton Tribune and has been cited in publications such as the South Florida Business Journal and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Additionally, Barry has appeared as a guest on various television and radio programs and is presently working on future publications.
Actively engaged in sharing his expertise, Barry frequently lectures at various organizations and private events and has served as an Adjunct Professor for the Legal Studies Program at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. He has traveled extensively, educating CPAs, Financial Advisors, Insurance Agents, and Trust Officers on Estate Planning and Asset Protection. Barry has also been a featured speaker on an international stage, educating on these topics at the esteemed Global Wealth Summit providing insights from a global perspective.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Barry contributes to his community through his longstanding involvement with Rotary, having served as the Club President in Boca Raton, Florida. Residing in Boca Raton since 1998 with his wife Maria, son David, and daughter Amanda, Barry finds fulfillment in knowing that he and his premier team of attorneys and legal support staff are positively impacting lives, assisting individuals in planning for the future, and offering peace of mind. With offices stretching across the Sunshine State, they are better equipped than ever to provide peace of mind to more families.
