Amazing Lawyer!!!

I wish I could give more stars for Emily. She is an amazing attorney. Going through a divorce I found Emily after I hired an attorney who was so disorganized and non caring of my case which the ex wife attorney took advantage of. I found Emily who was happy to jump on and re start the divorce process... for me and man was I lucky to have found her. She went right to work and definitely made things very fair which helped move the case along smoothly but was absolutely making sure things that I requested were met. She was always aware of the case and responded to me very quickly. Emily was always there when I had a question and very quickly has answers for me. She even responded to me while she was on vacation. That is just the start of how committed she is to her Clients and how she is always there to put your mind at ease. During the entire process you can see that Emily is fast to get things done and even pushing the other side to get moving. If you hire Emily you will not be disappointed at all. She is amazing to work with.!!!! Hiring Emily was one of the best choices I have made.

Divorce Lawyer review

Emily was very helpful with the process of filing our divorce paperwork. She walked us through each step, kept us updated via email (our preferred method of communication), and was timely in her responses to our questions.

Divorce Mediation

Emily was the perfect fit for our mediation! We wanted someone who could make sense of the process and provide the best insight into how to file for and implement a divorce that did not include litigation. We trusted her all along. She was transparent and thorough, and she is also very personable and... kind human being.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
