Gerald Louis Hemness Jr.

My father and I worked with Mr. Hemness from another state assisting us with a guardianship case. We all knew that it would have its bumps, but his extensive knowledge of both Florida law and laws in other states, ease in navigating the system, and gentle calming manner brought this process to a conc...lusion before other lawyers in the area would even give us an appointment for a consultant. He is extremely responsive to both email and telephone calls. I simply could not have asked for anything more. If you have the need for an attorney for guardianship, Mr. Hemness is the attorney you want.

Gerald Hemness' education and experience by themselves are an impressive package. He is a well-seasoned attorney in guardianship law. Gerald can assess your case and give clear, thorough guidance for every step of the way. His patience is unsurpassed, and he promptly answers every question respec...tfully. He prepares you for success in and out of the courtroom. We would highly recommend Gerald to anyone who finds themselves at any stage of this process. We were in an urgent situation, and Mr. Hemness went out of his way to take our case. He was like a kind, older brother leading us through every step. His advice was straightforward, and his charges were reasonable – he's everything you would hope for when utilizing the services of an attorney for this type of case. Guardianship is a necessary but oftentimes unpleasant step that is required to chart a safe path for a loved one's future, and it can bring up so many emotions. Mr. Hemness successfully helped us gain the custody we sought of our family member.

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.

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.
