Andrea Leah Gellen

Education & Elder Law Representation in the Hudson Valley

10+ Years of Experience

Andrea L. Gellen is an attorney who practices in Poughkeepsie, New York and throughout the Hudson Valley. Prior to opening her own practice, she was employed as an associate at local law firms where she practiced in the areas of Elder Law, Estate Planning, Education Law, Labor Law, Criminal Litigation, and Landlord/Tenant litigation.

Andrea regularly lectures on topics pertaining to eduction law, Medicaid planning, Estate Planning and updates to the landlord/tenant laws. She has litigated in local, state and federal court on behalf of clients as well as in multiple administrative forums.

Andrea chose to open her own practice so that she could provide each client with the personalized attention they deserve and so she could draft custom retainer agreements for her clients to accommodate their needs and financial circumstances. When you retain Gellen Law you can feel confident that Andrea personally will attend to your file. That you will hear her voice on the other side of the phone, not a recording or a paralegal. She works tireless for her clients – your goals are her goals. Your triumphs are her triumphs.

Andrea resides in Poughkeepsie, New York with her husband, David and their daughter, Eleanor. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and hiking.
