Patient, thoughtful, approachable, responsive, and awesome

Emily met with me first in 2018 when I was just exploring separation and my legal position, and I was able to process without pressure. She stayed in touch through 2019 and was patient as I navigated all the negotiating with my now-ex. When we started in earnest, Emily was great for me behind the sce...nes during a long back-and-forth process that I managed since my ex was unrepresented. She was great with strategy, settlement agreement language, parenting schedules, providing me with resources to help educate my ex on my rights, timing, and follow up. As things got closer to agreement and finalization, she was able to effectively and professionally communicate with my ex spouse to get things done without anything becoming tense or litigious, working on my behalf but with him. She helped with complexities of military spousal benefits and rights and took every extra step to ensure the agreement was in place with DEERS so I didn't have to navigate that bureaucracy alone. Emily is awesome! I highly recommend her.

Great divorce lawyer

Emily helped me in the exact ways I needed in my divorce. I did all the negotiating with my now-ex and consulted with Emily behind the scenes on strategy, settlement agreement language, timing and whatever else I needed. She gave me great advice, and even gently told me when she thought my ex was m...aking a decent point about something. She went above and beyond to check on me just to see how various things went on my end. She is thoughtful, compassionate and strategic. I highly recommend her.

Wonderful!

Emily went above and beyond in helping me with my divorce. She was sensitive, communicative, quick, and listened to and answered every one of my silly questions. As far as I'm concerned, I could not have asked for someone better to assist me with a process as emotional as this. Thank you, Emily!

Professional Excellence

Emily assisted me with a divorce case and I couldn't have been happier. She was extremely professional, very communicative, and I could always count on her throughout the process to get things done. During something like a divorce, which can be very emotionally charged and draining, it's extremely im...portant to have an advocate who is not only experienced, but who also understands your needs both from a legal and emotional standpoint. I highly recommend Emily.

Fantastic divorce lawyer

I cannot say enough good things about Emily. I worked with her for a almost a year and a half from my first consultation with her, trying to determine whether divorce would be financially sustainable for me, all the way through to the judgment of absolute divorce. I was a complete mess and Emily was ...kind, easy to talk to, patient, and very understanding. She talked me down from the ledge when I felt ready to give up and just take what I was being offered. She stood up for me and fought hard to make sure I got what I deserved, despite nasty opposing council. She tried to keep costs as low as possible and kept us from needing to go to litigation by pushing for mediation. I was extremely happy with her and would highly recommend her as a divorce lawyer.
