Mr.

We were referred to Attorney Hemness by a long time friend of our family. Attorney Hemness clarified Florida law as it pertained to the issues we were wrestling with regarding the resolution and distribution of our family property. Mr. Hemness stated the Florida law that was relevant to our situat...ion. He gave the law as it stands by statute and he then explained how the law is practically applied to a situation likes ours. It was his explanation of how the law was interpreted and administered that made it easier for us to understand our overall situation. This new insight has removed a lot of stress for me. Understanding our rights under the law and the limitations of our rights has made it easier to make decisions regarding the most practical path forward. I appreciated the respectfulness and empathy that Attorney Hemness showed toward all the parties present. He appeared to care about our predicament. I would recommend him with confidence to those that I know who would need honest and straightforward answers.

Trustful and gets the job done quick

Mr. Hemness did an amazing job helping my special needs son. I was so very worried about what would happen to my child when I could no longer care for him to the point that I couldn't sleep at night. It really began to take a toll on everyone. Mr. Hemness was a wonderful answer to our prayers. He was... compassionate and produced great results. I rest easy now knowing my son will be okay. I recommend Mr. Hemness for any guardianship and special needs trust issues.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
