    Getting a divorce is never easy, so I've been told. That can create a lot of procrastination and delay. In my personal experience with Cody, Kali and Carmela I had a good feeling from the start. He is very reasonable and easy to talk to. At the end of the day he is a man of his word. I would definitely recommend Emerson Law because they made my dissolution of marriage easy.

They make it seem like your case is their only one with prompt responses that are informative and helpful. Their knowledge and their expertise are matched with their compassion and that makes this process a more positive experience. I share my gratitude with this team.

    "Thank you Cody!"

    It was the first time I had ever been "forced" to hire an attorney to collect a past due debt. I had no idea what lay ahead. I had met Cody as he was finishing up at FSU, so I called him. We sat down and came up with a plan. Walking out of that first meeting I knew I had hired the right person. He made me feel confident and comfortable and is a very compassionate person. That tribute comes through in his profession. Cody is and will be my attorney should the need arise again. I have recommended Cody to several friends and family members. Thank you Cody!

    "Cody is great attorney."

    Cody is great attorney as well as awesome human being. Just hired him a little time ago, I have spoken to more than 15 attorneys in Tampa , Saint Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon, A lot of them were intelligent lawyers however one thing they all had in common was money money and more money. Cody listened to my situation and decided to take on my case it's just the beginning but I have full faith in him and his skills! I ask him many many questions all the time and he is always there. Thank you, Cody!

    - Usman Y.
    "Thanks for everything, Cody!"

    I hired Cody to handle my divorce case last 2014. I consulted 3 lawyers before him but to my disappointment, either they don't know what to do or they don't want to handle cases that involve international correspondence/ processing since my ex-husband is in the Philippines. But when I consulted Cody, he already know right away what to do to start the process. He is very knowledgeable in his field and knows every corner of our law. He is very patient and perseverant in researching on things he needed to know to facilitate international processing. He is also very professional, nice, and sensitive to his client's needs. I will surely use his services again if I would need a lawyer again... I just hope it's NOT gonna be for another divorce! Lol!.. Thanks for everything, Cody!

    "I would highly recommend him!"

    We had the pleasure of working with Cody in order to get out of our rental home lease agreement with the property management company. With Cody's guidance and assistance we were successful at breaking the lease and receiving our deposit back in full! I would highly recommend him!

    - A Residential Real Estate client
    "Great first impression!"

    So far, hiring Cody to evict non-paying tenants from my home has been a smart decision. I wanted to give him a pre-review of my experience with him so far because I can see that he far exceeds my expectations. He is caring, kind and even came to my home because I wasn't feeling well enough to go to his office! My husband and I may very well hire him for an entirely different situation. I have a feeling already that we will enjoy a long professional relationship with Cody and we'll be sure to recommend him to friends and relatives.

    - Tammy R.
    "Knowledgeable."

    Attorney A. Cody Emerson knows what he is talking about. He is right up front with advice and information about my situation. He is willing to assist with legal problems and direction on what to do. I would recommend him for Legal assistance.

    "Great experience!"

    Cody made me feel at ease when speaking with him. He was very attentive and kept me well informed.

    "To say that he is exceedingly patient and courteous is an understatement."

    My Emerson has been the best attorney I have ever had any dealings with. He has been very patient and attentive even though my case was not a great big one and not much compensation for him. It was a renter-landlord-foreclosure situation and I was caught in the middle. He still gave me the the best legal advice and the best legal service I have ever received. I just can't praise him enough. I am elder, very confused and worried about the case and he repeated explanations many times without the slightest hint of impatience or annoyance. I had gotten conflicting information from agencies, even the legal aid agencies for elders. To say that he is exceedingly patient and courteous is an understatement. I have already recommended Mr Emerson to many family members and friends, who have not had such good service or outcomes! I give an enthusiastic thumbs up!

    - Marsea
    "Top Notch Attention."

    Cody successfully fought for my wife and I in a case against a former landlord, who unjustly withheld a significant portion of our security deposit. His attention to detail, time invested in the case and overall efforts all stood out to us throughout the case and I was impressed with both his courtroom stature and his diligence behind the scenes. If the need ever arises for me to seek legal representation again, Cody will absolutely be my first call. He has my utmost confidence and highest endorsement.
