Your divorce involves more legal and financial issues than any other transaction in your life. It can be dizzying. My goal is to make sure you have identified all your needs and to assist you in meeting those needs as the divorce unfolds.

Custodial issues can often be contentious, but necessary for the wellbeing of the child. I find it important to listen to the concerns of client's and help formulate ideas and strategies for reaching a custodial agreement that is best for the child.

The best

Kevin worked tirelessly to ensure I received a fair judgement in my post divorce hearings. I received a much better judgement after hiring Kevin. I am now the primary custodian of my child and able to provide for them appropriately.

Thanks for all your help!

Kevin was able to guide me and help me through the entire divorce process. He always had my best interest in mind. He remained level headed, even when dealing with my ex-wife's unprofessional, and at times strange, lawyer.

Professional with Exceptional Insight

Kevin is a thorough, seasoned attorney with excellent skills and provided great advice to me during my proceeding. As an attorney myself, I found Kevin to be knowledgeable of the law and the particulars of the court in which the matter was decided. Consequently, the outcome was reasonable and, perh...aps most importantly, anticipated - there were no surprises. Divorce and matters of child custody can be trying, and having a counsel like Kevin's was of great value.

International case

I hired Atty. Emerson for an international Family Law case in Connecticut. He did a great research on the difference between the two countries family law and whether the US court should provide any deference to a possible similar action, that might be filed abroad at the same time. Four months down t...he road the case is still pending. I will write some more when everything is said and done.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"The thing I like best about working with Kevin is that you know where you stand. There are no tricks or hiding information. He zealously advocates for his clients, but is also fair. This is especially true when children are involved. He realizes that the parties will have to co-parent the child for how many years they may have to majority and it is not in anyone's best interest to make that an impossibility. I would not hesitate to refer him as an attorney."

"I endorse this lawyer. Kevin Emerson is a very good advocate. He approaches cases realistically and is reasonable, yet firm, in negotiating. I have seen him litigate, and his courtroom presence is persuasive and effective. I often refer clients to him when I have a conflict, and am confident that they are in very good hands. He is responsive to them and diligent in advocating for their interests."
