Emma R. Hemness, Esquire - What you should know

Emma Hemness is the founding owner of the Law Office of Hemness Faller P.A.  Emma was admitted to practice law in Florida in 1995.  As a native of Polk County, she opened the first law office in Lakeland, Florida in January 1998.  In May 2000, she opened a second law office in Brandon.


Emma's efforts fighting against the restriction on use of personal care contracts and spousal refusal, and trying to keep seniors from being included in the mandatory enrollment into for-profit, managed care plans to receive necessary Medicaid health insurance for their long term care needs, during the legislative session, she shined and was recognized as a big advocate for seniors.

Emma has been selected as a Super Lawyer in Elder Law. This distinction is awarded based on peer review and through independent research.


As stated in the Super Lawyers website, "Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a rigorous, multiphase rating process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.  The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, we limit the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys. The Super Lawyers selection process involves three basic steps: creation of the candidate pool; evaluation of candidates by the research department; and peer evaluation by practice area."
