Genna Fasullo LaPeer is the Chief Executive Officer and an attorney at The Miller Elder Law Firm, where she helps older adults and their families navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions with confidence, compassion, and practical legal solutions. Her practice focuses on Life Care Planning, Medicaid planning, estate planning, probate and trust administration, guardianship, special needs planning, elder financial exploitation, and related litigation.

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Genna earned her Honors Specialization in Political Science from the University of Western Ontario before moving to the United States to pursue her legal education. She graduated magna cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School and is licensed to practice law in both Florida and New York.

Before joining The Miller Elder Law Firm in 2020, Genna spent nearly five years as an Assistant State Attorney for Florida’s Fifth Judicial Circuit, prosecuting matters ranging from misdemeanors to first-degree life felonies. Today, she draws on that extensive courtroom and litigation experience to advocate for older adults and their families—addressing not only their legal concerns, but also the financial, health care, safety, and family dynamics that often accompany aging and incapacity.

Genna is a frequent speaker on elder law issues, presenting to attorneys, professionals, and community organizations on topics including elder financial exploitation, guardianship, ethics, and Life Care Planning. She has presented for The Florida Bar and its Elder Law Section, the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys, the Life Care Planning Law Firms Association, the Eighth Judicial Circuit Bar Association, and other professional and community organizations.

Her commitment to older adults extends beyond her work at the firm. Genna serves on the Boards of Directors of both the Life Care Planning Law Firms Association and Elder Options, the Area Agency on Aging for North Central Florida. She is also a member of Leadership Gainesville Class 53 and remains actively involved in the Academy of Florida Elder Law Attorneys, the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, and The Florida Bar’s Elder Law and Trial Lawyers Sections.

For Genna, elder law is about more than preparing legal documents or navigating a court proceeding. It is about understanding the whole picture—what a family is facing today, what may be coming next, and how the right legal and care-planning strategies can help protect both the individual and the people who love them.

Genna lives in Gainesville with her husband, Scott, and their children, Jackson and Ava. Outside the office, she enjoys running, traveling—especially to Canada and Italy—playing soccer, snowboarding, and cooking with her family.
