Blake P. Hampton

Blake P. Hampton is an elder law, estate planning, and estate administration/probate attorney. After graduating from Stetson Law, he began working at the prestigious Sheppard Law Firm in Fort Myers, having interned there since high school.

In 2015, Blake founded Hampton Law to focus on comprehensive, long-term care and estate planning for the elderly. The mission of the firm is to help families “plan today for peace of mind tomorrow”. Hampton was inspired at age 15 to become an elder law attorney because his brother, Grant has autism. Hampton wanted to find a profession where he could combine his passion to serve the elderly and help those with disabilities and special needs.

Hampton is one of the youngest attorneys admitted to the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and one of the youngest to serve on the Medicaid, VA Benefits and Special Needs Trust Committees of the Florida Bar Elder Law Section. Hampton is an active member of the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce and President Rotary Club of Fort Myers South.
