Title: Extremely Disappointed with Attorney's Services

Extremely Disappointed with Attorney's I engaged Emily Carstensen two years ago for legal representation, hoping for expert guidance and support through a challenging case. Unfortunately, my experience with Emily Carstensen was nothing short of disappointing and frustrating.From the outset, she dem...onstrated a lack of understanding of my case, leaving me feeling bewildered and uncertain about the legal proceedings. Despite charging exorbitant fees, their incompetence became apparent as they continually failed to grasp the nuances of the situation.Moreover, Emily Carstensen settled on terms without adequately consulting me, resulting in agreements that were unfavorable and against my best interests. Even worse, these settlements continue to haunt me, causing distress and regret to this day.Additionally, the exorbitant fees I was charged were completely unjustified given the lackluster representation and the detrimental outcomes of the case. She failed to provide the level of service that I rightfully expected, leaving me significantly out of pocket and deeply dissatisfied.Overall, my experience with Emily Carstensen was profoundly disappointing and has left me with a lasting sense of frustration and regret. I would strongly advise against seeking their services for any legal matter.

Great Choice

Emily worked together with me on my divorce case. I have been employed a psychotherapist for close to forty years who has written many custody reports for the court- so I am not naive to the court system. Emily has a very skilled way of rising above the typical contentiousness and adversarial positi...on in a divorce case. She explained both the letter and intent of the law and helped me make informed decisions in my case. Most people do not want to divorce, however Emily makes this unfortunate process less painful with her easy going, supportive nature. She's also very bright and bright is what you want depending on the level of challenges in your case. Whether you are new to the court, or do not have an understanding of the process, Emily will help you. She listens, directs, and provides choices. She's efficient, and reasonable in her fees. I never felt alone with Emily as my representative. From an informed position, I most highly recommend Emily.

Professional, And Beyond Epectations

When I had been referred to Emily to help me in my divorce I was at a very low point in my life, I had little idea how the process of divorce even worked, but Emily helped me through out everything. She helped me put everything together, how I would move on with my life, and was respectful and kind t...o me whenever I called or had an appointment. I recommend her to anyone who is in a rough situation like I was.
