Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Daniel Emkey recently represented me in a criminal drug case. He answered all of my questions and concerns in the most professional manner in and out of his office. He kept me and my family up to date with all details about the case as the case progressed. He answered all phone calls from me a...nd my family promptly with clear answers to any questions we may have had at that time. He did an outstanding job representing me and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Mr. Daniel Emkey!

A gifted attorney

Attorney Emkey was referred to me by a friend who had an excellent experience in a defense case. Although my problem was not criminal my friend stated that attorney Emkey was very intelligent and honest and that it would be worthwhile to ask his opinion. He couldn't have been more accurate. Emkey lis...tened to my problem, outlined my options and gave me his opinion without promises. He offered to get me to a lawyer who specializes in this type case law. He followed me through the process with another attorney and made helpful suggestions through the process, which my attorney actually appreciated. This was above and beyond anything I would have expected from any attorney. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if so I would definitely call Emkey first.

criminal defense client

I talked with several lawyers before making a decision knowing it was going to be a long process. Emkey Law Firm was one of the first places I visited. Before choosing who would represent me I visited four other firms and it was a very easy decision to go with Emkey. He continually kept me up to... date on the process, very professional, and in the end he saved me from additional cost that I would have had if I wouldn’t have chosen him! Very glad I made the right decision to go with Emkey Law Firm.

Excellent Attorney!!!

I hired Dan Emkey to fight my case for which I was wrongly accused. Because of Dan's persistence with the police the charges were never filed. He thoroughly investigated the case and gave me excellent advice. He kept me posted as well as always returned my calls. I am very glad that I hired Dan a...nd would recommend anyone to him!

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.
