Gerald Louis Hemness Jr.

Today I had a nice, long phone consult with Mr. Hemness referencing possible elder abuse. As soon as our talk was completed, I had a feeling of relief that I had not experienced in over two months! He gave me the help I have needed -- and his help is invaluable. There was no charge today; he let me... know he would not charge me unless I come to him, hiring him. There is a 50/50 chance I will need further help and, at that time, I will absolutely hire Mr. Hemness.

Mr. Hemness helped me with both an emotional guardianship and a probate case. He was extremely professional and easy to talk to. He was able to explain legal issues in a way that I could understand which is difficult when I have NO background with the law. I needed to see him several times over a ...course of two weeks and he always made time to fit me in when I needed him. Even though I live several hours away, he made sure he answered my questions in a timely manner. His record keeping was also easy to follow. If I ever need an elder attorney in the Tampa area, I will be calling Mr. Hemness again.

Gerald Hemness is an excellent attorney. He was instrumental in helping me get guardianship of a dear loved one suffering from dementia. He was knowledgeable and decisive in his handling of the issues and compassionate and supportive every step of the way. You won't find a better elder law attorne...y.

My brother and I had been working with Gerald (Jay) involving elder care abuse in the care of our father at a distance of many states for a lengthy period of time. It was a very complicated situation with communication done almost entirely via phone and Internet. Jay was always attentive with prompt ...responses. Also, he was very sensitive to our concerns in the prolonged, complicated, emotional and restrictive issues we encountered and advised us accordingly. In the end, litigation was implemented and Jay was instrumental in a settlement being reached. I felt Jay was a guiding light in our very unfamiliar and emotional journey He explained confusing legal actions in a clear and constructive manner, enabling us to make our best decisions. I am very grateful we were lead to Jay and extremely satisfied with Jay’s legal services to us. I consider him to be a very savvy, experienced attorney who I would highly recommend.
