Cassandra S. Nelson Earns LL.M. From NYU In Taxation: Advanced Tax Specialization Among Majority Of Shareholders At Nelson & Nelson

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL — Nelson & Nelson, P.A. is proud to announce that shareholder Cassandra S. Nelson has completed her LL.M. in Taxation at New York University, widely regarded as the nation’s preeminent graduate tax program.

With her graduation, the majority of shareholders at Nelson & Nelson, P.A. now hold advanced specialization in taxation to be integrative in their trusts and estates practice.

“I could not be more proud of Cassie,” said founder Barry A. Nelson. “She completed one of the most demanding graduate tax programs in the country while practicing full time and raising a young family.”

“I cannot overstate what this means for the firm and the families we serve. At significant levels of wealth, estate law and tax law are not separate disciplines. A plan that is elegant on the estate side and careless on the tax side is not a plan. Our clients are the beneficiaries of a firm where our shareholders command both.”

She also earned her third consecutive listing in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, advancing from “Ones to Watch” to “Up and Coming” in Florida Private Wealth Law, where she is recognized for estate and tax planning, and asset protection.

She was named to The Best Lawyers in America® for 2027 in Tax Law and Trusts & Estates, her second recognition and a step up from Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch®.

“Earning my LL.M. in Taxation from NYU, while pregnant and then navigating early motherhood, was one of the harder things I’ve done, but also one of the most worthwhile. I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best tax practitioners in the country, and I look forward to putting what I’ve learned to work for our clients,” said Cassandra Nelson.
