Excellent!!

I hired Emily for my child custody case. My child’s father and I were in agreement or terms, but we needed a lawyer to help us go through the process. Emily represented me. She advised me on how the process works, drafted a parenting plan to fit our needs, and was accessible for any questions. She is... very nice to speak with and does a good job explaining the information. She was highly recommended to me and I can see why! I highly recommend her services as well!!

Emily Koning's Handling of my Divorce

Now that the dust has settled from my divorce, I can finally put into words how I felt about the process. it was so long and emotional, and very stressful. I don't know how I would have gotten through the process without the support that I received from my attorney team and in particular ...Emily Koning. She is extremely bright, focused, well versed in divorce law, and was totally committed to representing me well. Additionally, she was great support and helped me to get through the laborious, painful and often confusing process to finally finalizing my divorce. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone, whether getting a simple divorce, which can always make a turn in a different direction, or anticipating a more complex divorce. I cannot put into words how much I appreciated Emily's support and expertise. I could not have chosen better. Thank you so much, Emily, for your help in getting my life back on track!

Sensitive, caring lawyer

Going through a divorce is stressful, to the point that making decisions without being overly emotional is very difficult. Originally Emily was just filling in for my original attorney on leave, but I quickly had her on as my primary attorney. She patiently listened. She gave the advantages and dis...advantages of each decision. Above all, she did not pressure me to make one decision over another. In addition, she worked with my ex's lawyer to find a solution. Three years after the divorce, I still consult with her occasionally. But there is no regret in any decisions I made during the divorce.

Fantastic!!!

Emily was fantastic to work with! She walked me through every step along the way and made sure I was comfortable with what was happening. She is patient, kind, and understanding but also fights for what her client deserves. I would not hesitate to use her again if the need arises.
