Great Experience

Emily was incredibly helpful in the process of negotiating my pre-nuptial agreement. She saved me from a process that had already taken a year and a half with another lawyer. She got it done in about 3 months and on top of that was always available when I needed her (even last minute) and always made... sure I understood everything perfectly. Hiring a lawyer can be expensive, but Emily never made me feel like she was on the clock and never made me pay more than the absolute least amount to get the job done. Highly recommend!

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.

Emily is one of the most professional and driven people I’ve had the pleasure to work with and I spent 17 years in the military. She is clear in her expectations but works hard for the best possible outcome for her clients. I was able to settle a contentious divorce with minimal financial impact to m...yself. Emily got me THE best possible outcome I could have hoped for. I owe a lot of my current stability to her work. Could not be more thankful!

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.

The Best

Emily was wonderful in helping navigate my separation and divorce! She was recommended to me by another industry professional-- I visited her when recently separated and she was very empathetic and kind. She is extremely knowledgeable, and was tough and resolute when she needed to be. I always felt t...hat she was prepared, especially in the final divorce when we were at court. She was also very thoughtful when it came to the cost of her services and absolutely felt like I got excellent value and service. I would recommend her to anyone-- I had a great experience and walked away from my divorce very happy.
