Compassionate listener. Clear communicator. Efficient and effective.

I consulted Emily for help with my mutual consent divorce. She listened carefully to how we wanted to handle it and took the time to explain exactly what our options were and what the process was going to look like. She responded quickly to my many emailed questions and shepherded us effectively thro...ugh the many necessary legal steps. Emily is exceptionally compassionate and always knew what to say and do to keep us calm and confident.

Highly Recommend!

Emily was very helpful by fully listening to my concerns, helping me understand the parameters of the law as related to my concerns and then offered valuable guidance as we problem solved in how to move forward. I find that Emily's rates are thoughtful and fair and I've only had positive results from... working with her. Highly recommend!

A Super-Lawyer !

I had a difficult, complex case. Emily was gracious and knowledgeable. She knows the system, courts, and how things operate. she has plenty of experience. She was helpful on all fronts. She was what every client wants. Someone who will advocate for you. Someone who will get you results! I was able... to gain custody of my 3 daughters despite many false claims throughout the process. I'm very grateful to Emily for working with me and she was great to work with. You can be candid with her. She would always give me a chance to give my input or idea in a situation. she was responsive. And I certainly could not have been successful without her help. She was empathetic and genuinely cared!

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.
