Thanks to April Hill, my sisters and I were able to better take care of Mom and when she passed, handle her affairs more easily. Now that it was time for me to revise my will, I came to April. She has well advised me and I am grateful for her knowledge and help for my future. When the time comes that my family has to deal with my estate, their work will be easier for this planning. Having settled estates for two of my relatives myself, I can provide my loved ones with an easier time taking care of things when I am gone. Thanks April for your help!

April Hill and her team of experts helped me to get my brother's finances in order along with assisting me with Medicaid for him. If it wasn't for them, we would be in a predicament. They are compassionate and professional, along with being patient with myself and my brother. They are a very caring group of individuals. I am so grateful for what they have done for us.
Can't say enough for this firm.

April and her staff are really fantastic. My family was struggling with how to move forward with my grandma's future and finances. They not only walked us through some next steps we were aware of, but showed us resources we would have never found on our own! Thank you Hill & Kinsella!

My initial consultation with Attorney Hill regarding my handicapped son was very informative and helpful. Attorney Hill provided thoughtful and detailed first steps. Additional family members plan to relocate to Florida in addition to my son. All intend to utilize the counsel of the Hill & Kinsella law firm.

Pleasurable experience working with Alana Horner and her team to establish an estate plan and revocable trust. Very professional, made sure I understood all the details of the arrangement, and help ensure my plan fit my goals. Would highly recommend any of my friends and family to work with anyone at Hill & Kinsella.

As a family member who has provided support for seven family members as they moved through the continuum of being healthy and independent to requiring end-of-life care, I can heartily recommend the Hill and Kinsella Law Firm. I was referred to April Hill by my own stellar estate planning attorney when I needed assistance with my parents in the Tampa Bay area. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire process for creating updated documents to the execution of those documents to follow-up counsel in applying the documents. If you are considering an attorney/firm to help you with this part of your

I’ve worked with April Hill and her team for more than a decade. That includes recommending her law firm to many of my financial planning clients, who have also referred their friends. Plus, April has written my own estate documents and those of my new husband (both of us previously widowed). They are fantastic! April takes the time to really connect with clients. Explanations are jargon-free and meaningful. She talks about options and helps clients make the right decisions. Best elder law attorney ever! Caring and highly competent.

April Hill helped my wife and I prepare our estate documents when we moved to Florida. April was not only professional, thorough and knowledgeable, she was also very personable and comfortable to work with. Her explanations of our options and choices were very clear, and she was very patient with our questions. The other attorneys in her office and all of her staff were delightful to work with. A special aspect of their practice is that, unlike most attorneys I have dealt with, they have fixed fees for their estate planning services. My wife and I both have no hesitation in enthusiastically endorsing

There are certain times in life when having a trusted advisor on your side makes all the difference in the world. Fortunately, I was introduced to the Hill Law Group just prior to my world turning upside down. My father and I met with Jonathan Kinsella to formulate a plan for my mother’s long-term care that also protected my parents’ financial security. (My mother was bedridden and was suffering from a host of very serious health issues.) In a cruel twist of fate, my father died suddenly and unexpectedly about one month later, leaving me with myriad of questions as my family faced an uncertain
