Compassionate & Realistic

I could not have asked for a better attorney when going through my divorce! Emily was understanding and responsive to my needs. She was kind and compassionate but also realistic. Emily was sensitive to my financial situation so initially suggested using a mediator, with her guidance. When this ap...proach failed, she recommended a judicial mediator, specifically one that had a firmer approach, which is what I needed when working with my ex-husband.

Best decision I made

Obviously anyone going through a divorce needs a lawyer who is effective at their job, which Emily was, but considering that it's also likely to be an unpleasant experience no matter how amicable, it helps to genuinely like your lawyer, too, and I really liked Emily. She explained things clearly at e...ach step, was open to all of my questions, and was empathetic about the experiences I'd had prior to separation and the nonsense my ex attempted during the divorce. And she made I received what was fair and legally required in a settlement and was not what my ex would have agreed to had I not hired her. A true advocate in all the ways.

Excellent guidance

Emily gave me the confidence and perspective needed to navigate my divorce. I am 77 and though my decision to divorce was clear, it was not easy to do at this time in our lives. Emily was both firm and understanding whenever I got frustrated during the process. She is knowledgeable and professiona...l, explained her recommendations from both legal and her client experience. She is strong and compassionate and I benefited greatly for choosing her for my attorney.

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.

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.
