Navigating the complexities of elder law and special needs planning, from estate planning to guardianship, to ensure quality care and financial security in the Tampa Bay area.

I want to say thank you to Danielle and her team for helping my family to take care of our mother during a difficult time. Our mother had suffered multiple strokes and as a result was unable to take care of herself after a lifetime of being a strong and independent woman.

We needed to find an assisted living facility that could help her with the tasks of daily living. We needed to be able to assist her in making decisions for her health care and assist her with financial matters.

Danielle met with our family and shed so much light on our situation. It was obvious she had been through this many times before and was able to guide us in the right direction. She and her team drafted a Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Health Care Surrogate for our mother giving us the tools we needed to make sure she got the advance care she required.

Everyone at this office is so kind and professional. After meeting with Danielle we felt relieved and confident that whatever comes down the road everything would be okay. I can't say enough about this office and I would highly recommend them to anyone who has a loved one in this situation.”

Emma first did our paperwork in 2004. We revised it about 10–15 years later, as laws had changed. Basically, Emma has done paperwork for six of us, and two of those have been executed. One was cleanly executed, the other was litigated and stood up in court.

I did not realize that Special Needs law was so closely related to Elder law, making Emma the de facto expert and speaker for a FDLRS presentation by HCPS a few years ago. Highly recommend her to people in the Sandwich Generation—she can help your parents, she can help you, she can help your special needs kids.

My sister and I really needed legal advice in regards to our Mom who has dementia and we weren't sure how to get started. From our very first Zoom call with the Attorney we felt so much better. She was very kind and gave us advice on how to get the process started. 

Molly was always available to help and quick to respond with our many questions at a time when we were incredibly stressed. Both attorney's were knowledgeable and got us started on the pathway to help. My sister and I honestly don't know how we would have done it without them. I would highly recommend them.

I did my will with Emma Hemnes and she was very helpful explaining the procedure and brought several things to my attention that I was not aware. She gave me plenty of time to ask her questions to make sure I understood what she was going to do. All of the staff very helpful and professional. I highly recommend the law office of Emma Hemness.

Emma and her staff answered all our questions regarding the ins and outs of my 99 year old mom and what might be to our advantage in the future. Thank you!

Great working with this team. Very knowledgeable. Got our will and trust taken care of. Thank you.

They are very respectful of their clients.
