Gerald L. Hemness, PA

Attorney Gerald Hemness was very helpful to me in a difficult and emotional situation. He gave me great advice and helped put my mind at ease. You should definitely reach out if you are ever in the need of assistance with guardianship matters!

Gerald's knowledge of Florida Medicaid and elder law was exceptional and guided us through the guardianship process with clarity and compassion. He was responsive, professional, and truly cared about our family’s situation. We’re very grateful for his support during such a challenging time.

Very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with!!! He’s the Best

Gerald tells it like it is, with empathy and humor. He is very transparent about costs and everything else involved. I would definitely recommend him!

We recently met with this attorney to discuss some complicated elder-law issues, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He took the time—just under an hour—to truly listen to our situation, answer every question, and clearly explain our options. All of this was done free of charge, which was remarkable given the depth and quality of the information he provided. In what felt like a chaotic and stressful time, he brought clarity and calm. His patience, thoroughness, and deep knowledge made us feel understood and supported before we’ve even officially hired him. Although he mentioned he isn’t taking on new clients until after the new year, we didn’t hesitate to say we’d gladly wait. After spending hours researching and narrowing our search to three attorneys, we’re so grateful he was our first call—no other calls needed. We truly appreciate the time and care he offered. Highly recommended.

Gerald Hemness did a wonderful job representing us in a case where our father had become incapable of caring for himself. He was a danger to himself and others. His children all live in Texas and we needed to bring him to Texas to care for him. Gerald was efficient, timely and kept the costs down. Gerald guided us through a court process that enabled us to bring our father to Texas and get the care he needed. I highly recommend Gerald for cases such as ours.

Mr. Hemness is very professional, knowledgeable and was very empathetic in our particular case. He and his staff handled everything in a professional and efficient manner and made dealing with the court system seamless and easy. I highly recommend taking advantage of his services. Thank you for your assistance Sir.

Gerald is so incredibly helpful! I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Hemness jumped in and took my case in my time of desperate need. He put family back together after it was torn apart. I am so thankful for him. He was very patient with all my concerns and questions. Always got back to me quickly when I needed guidance with my case. I will recommend him to everyone.

Gerald is a straight shooter who seems to enjoy what he does. I cannot express how grateful I was to have him working to get my father under a Guardianship, despite a very complicated situation. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He doesn’t over-promise and under-deliver, like so many attorneys and his billing is reasonable. He has gone above and beyond for me. I recommend him without hesitation.

Gerald was really helpful at a horrible time. He talked and walked me through an understanding of a process to help a loved one manage. Straightforward, responsive and a good listener-Gerald is someone you would want to engage to help you with legal matters.

Gerald always answers the phone by the second ring. He is Amazing and Quick! Gerald has assisted us numerous times with sticky government hassles. We can always rely on him.

After successfully maintaining and completing a guardianship for me, Mr. Hemness also handled a probate. I had three previous attorneys on the guardianship and Mr. Hemness was by far the best I have worked with over the past 5 years. Communication is excellent. I would retain his services again without question.

I was referred to Gerald by another attorney who was not taking on any new cases. I contacted him regarding a potential guardianship, which, as it turned out, I did not need. The reason I am giving him 5 stars and writing this review is because he was so helpful, knowledgeable and kind in reviewing my options and pointing me in the right direction, even going as far as to recommend a law firm that could handle my needs. I was dealing (from New Jersey) with an overwhelming emergency situation with a sibling in Florida who was removed from his home by Adult Services due to abuse and lack of care from his “caregiver”. I had no idea where to even begin. Gerald spent time on the phone with me not once but twice and through the direction he gave me, I was able to proceed with getting my hospitalized brother’s affairs in order and get him to an assisted living facility. If the situation necessitates the need for a guardianship in the future, I would only trust Gerald Hemness to handle it. Thank you Mr Hemness from the bottom of my heart for assisting me in my hour of need.

I hit the "motherlode" in phoning attny.Hemness based on his Google reviews. Was in immediate need of a guardian lawyer as several parties were stealing from my sibling with alzheimers. He answered while driving his car,skillfully probed my problem and by the end of the conversation I was ready to hire him. He exhibits much knowledge,is personable,and is on the case in a hurry. No waiting for his actions; he's immediately ready to answer questions and proceed.He was even able to make legal arrangements "outside the box" to eliminate the need for guardianship and its requirements and costs. Gerald is the epitome of what an attorney should be and I was lucky to find him.

Gerald was recommended to our company by another attorney. He helped us enormously and went above and beyond. Gerald is experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Gerald has been extraordinarily helpful. In addition to being knowledgable and professional, he's been highly accessible and generous with his time. Most importantly, I trust his integrity. When I don't really need a lawyer, he lets me know, saving me hundreds of dollars.

My wife and I have been doing business with Gerald for many years. He has handled our wills, power of attorney, living wills, and numerous random questions pertaining to our legal lives. He is always a quick phone call away. He’s an absolute professional and someone I consider a friend. There is no one else I would trust to guide me through such legal waters. Thank you Gerald for everything that you’ve done and everything you will continue to do in the future.

I spoke to Mr. Hemness recently about a deed issue and he explained it throughly. He spent time to make sure I understood the situation completely. I highly recommend him.

Gerald listened to what I had to say. Then he listed several courses of action. Then he made clear my next steps. I would definitely do business with him again.
