Caroline Emery helped me with estate planning, and was accommodating, throrough, and professional. She addressed my questions and was personally friendly and patient. I recommend her highly.

My estate planning attorney Caroline Emery was extremely thorough with her work. My previous will, similar to my current circumstances, was nowhere near as detailed as her product with its many attachments and documents. She explained in detail any questions I had about her work. It was very easy to contact or meet with her. I feel that her rate based on hours worked was very reasonable. I would recommend her to any of my friends.

I called Caroline Emery's office to find out if she can help me with planning for my Estate. Caroline called me back, listened carefully to what I had in mind, and proceeded to explain to me in details the best methods to satisfy my needs and to make sure that my Estate will be divided among my children as I requested. After all the forms were completed, the following forms were completed and when appropriate registed with the city: Last Will and Testament, Durable Power of Attorney, Heath Care Suurogate, HEPAA Authorization, A Living Will, and Naming a Pre - Need Guardian. As for my persoanl Residence, she prepared an Enhaced Life Estate, commonly known as Lady Bird Deed. I never knew that many form were needed for such a request. She very patientle explaind every subject and tailored my request to aviod going to Probate after my passing. I was very pleased and appreciative of her actions and I must say I was expecting to pay a lot more than what she charged me for all this work. I sincerley thank Caroline for her attention to the details and the way she tailored the forms to fit my needs. I full heartedly recommned Caroline to anyone reaching that age where thinkin of Estate Planning is a must.

Caroline Emery was the best in helping us get our estate planning done and completed in just 4 days. This process usually takes about 3 weeks. She returned my call within 1 hour and explained the cost and what all it included. Told us what documents we needed and set up our account. Before I knew it our inbox was filled with everything we needed to fill out. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and honest. She was very accommodating, and her legal services exceeded our expectations. The flat rate was very reasonable.

Having Caroline Emery as the Probate lawyer for our dad's will was the best decision my sister and I could have made. She came highly recommended and didn't disappoint us. She provided excellent feedback, answered any and all of our questions, clarified legal questions in simple terms we could understand and was always responsive, personable, honest, and ethical. Her advice and service were appropriately detail-oriented, methodical, and analytical. She was very accommodating and patient with us. Her fees were appropriate and reasonable for the task at hand. My husband and I will retain her to assist us with our wills. I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer. Denise A Wright

I contacted Ms. Emery to assist me with the probate of my father's estate. I could not have chosen a better advocate and adviser for my needs. Caroline took the time to explain the process to me in a way that made things easy to understand and guided me through all the necessary steps with a detail-oriented precision that she has gained from experience in practicing in the Jacksonville area and her in-depth knowledge of how the various judges and Court operate. Being out of town and trying the resolve my father's estate remotely, Caroline was excellent at accommodating my schedule and treated me with respect and understanding during this difficult and emotional period. Caroline uses an online portal for communication and transmittal of documents that allowed for the quick turnaround of documents needing my signature for filing. The flat rate she quoted me for the time it would take her and the filing fees was very reasonable considering the number of filings that needed to be made and the added complexity of dealing with a safe deposit box that did not have me listed as a beneficiary. Overall, I cannot recommend Caroline enough to anyone who is looking at the daunting task of dealing with an estate that needs to enter probate. If you are looking for someone that is very knowledgeable, honest and will give you sound legal advice, look no further than Caroline Emery, Attorney at Law, PLLC.

Local Live in person Lawyer! I spoke to Mrs. Emery for a few weeks updating our POA Living Will and Estate Planning documents for myself and my mother. Everything laid out in plan English and further explained if needed. We visited her office to complete/sign all our documents in person. The entire process Mrs. Emery was involved. I never spoke with a paralegal or an office assistant. There is no call center, there is no out sourcing, just an actual live person.

I can't possibly speak highly enough of Caroline's assistance with a family probate matter. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, honesty, and overall just empathy for the difficulties of a complex situation was incredible. Her fees were completely reasonable. She was a pleasure to work with and we would use her again.

I am from Massachusetts and needed an attorney, familiar with the probate procedures in Jacksonville, to assist me in settling my son’ affairs. I took a chance on a Google search and certainly found the right attorney. Caroline first clearly explained the Florida probate procedures and then guided me through those procedures in an efficient and timely basis. she answered all the questions I had right away and provided documentation as necessary to further explain them. My son was single, and his estate was relatively simple to settle. That being said, I thought Caroline’s fees were in line with other attorneys I reviewed. They were well documented, and there were no surprises. I would highly recommend her to those that need assistance settling an estate in Jacksonville, given her experience working with the probate court system in that jurisdiction.
