Board-Certified Elder Law Attorneys

For more than two decades, HKH Elder Law has served families throughout  Tampa Bay and across Florida— not just as attorneys, but as neighbors, advocates, and active members of the community. That commitment shapes everything we do, from the way we listen to the way we plan. 

Not all attorneys who practice  elder law are board certified — Board certification is a distinction earned through extensive experience, advanced training, rigorous examination, and peer review. HKH Elder Law is led by Board-Certified Elder Law attorneys, who have earned certification from both The Florida Bar and the National Elder Law Foundation.

What that means for your family: you have  a team with proven knowledge and experience  in estate planning, Medicaid, and elder law has been independently verified to meet the highest professional standards in the field

Rooted in Tampa Bay, Trusted Close to Home

HKH Elder Law is proudly rooted in St. Petersburg and has been part of the Tampa Bay community for decades. That history matters because Florida's Medicaid rules, probate process, and estate planning laws all have state-specific requirements that call for understanding how they apply here.

When you work with HKH, you're working with a team that knows this community, understands the challenges Florida families face, and is committed to being here when you need us.

Advocating for Seniors Beyond the Courtroom

HKH Elder Law's commitment to seniors and their families goes beyond the clients that we serve. The firm has worked to advanced efforts in shaping how the legal system serves seniors in Florida, including involvement in establishing the Elder Justice Center — a resource designed to help protect the rights and well-being of older adults in the community.

Through active membership in the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) and continued leadership in the elder law profession, at HKH our attorneys stay informed as laws,  regulations and planning strategies chance of changes in the law so the families we serve always receive current, well-informed guidance.

Active in the Community We Call Home

Elder law is deeply personal and so is our connection to this community. The HKH team actively engages with local organizations that support individuals with developmental disabilities, families navigating care decisions, and other community-driven initiatives across Tampa Bay.

This work is not separate from our law practice. It's an extension of our core values: showing up for the people around us, whether that's in a courtroom, a conference room, or a community meeting.

Your Family’s Needs Guide the Plan

Estate planning, Medicaid decisions, and probate matters are deeply personal. Every family's circumstances are different, and the right legal strategy for one household may not be the right fit for another.

That's why we begin by listening carefully. Taking the time to understand the  goals that mean the most to your family helps us develop a plan that reflects your needs and priorities. We’ll explain your options clearly, answer your questions and help you move forward with confidence.
