Navigating the Adoption Legal Process with Ease

Adoption should be a joyful event, but the legal steps required can be intimidating—even for a grandparent or other caregiver who has stepped in to provide love and support for young family members. Emerson Law, P.A. will strive to:

  • Clearly explain each necessary step in the adoption process and ease your concerns;
  • Ensure that you are able to complete your adoption irrevocably and as efficiently and affordably as possible; and
  • Be available and responsive to you every step of the way, and remain a resource should you need referrals to other professional service providers in the future.

Dedicated Local Support for St. Petersburg Families

At Emerson Law, P.A., we understand the unique needs of families in St. Petersburg and the surrounding Pinellas County area.

We also understand the emotional and logistical challenges that can arise, such as coordinating with local schools and healthcare providers to ensure a smooth transition for your new family member.

  • "He held my hand through my entire custody process."

    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.

  • "I hold him in high regard and will recommend him!"

    There’s no question Cody is a talented and dedicated lawyer. I hold him in high regard and will recommend him to anyone going through a divorce. Not only did he take over my case and accomplish more in a month than a whole year; he kept my mind at ease and helped me make some tough decisions. He’s extremely detail oriented and amazingly smart. I’m so grateful for all he’s done for me. If you’re looking for a trustworthy lawyer, he’s your guy!

    I feel lucky to have had Cody Emerson and his team on my side during my divorce. Cody is an outstanding attorney, highly respected by the judge and court.

Thank you, Cody, Kali and Jason for patiently putting up with me during these last two, most difficult years of my life and taking such good care of me. You guys are the best! Thank you!!!
