My experience with Cody was absolutely awesome. He responded to a question I posted on AVVO but then went above and beyond in helping me. He even offered to review my paperwork for free, on a public holiday. Why? Well to quote the man himself: "I enjoy being able to help people through my work." I consider that outstanding service and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. If you need an attorney in Florida, he's your man!

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.

Mr.Emerson for lack of a better phrase held my hand through my entire custody process. I was very busy with other personal matters during the custody procedures, but my case never missed a beat due to Mr. Emersons diligence. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney in any of his areas of expertise. Mr. Emersons rates were also fantastic when I compared a few different lawyers.

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!

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.

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!
