Wonderful thought partner and advocate

I have worked with Emily on a long and complex divorce and custody case, and could not be happier with the counsel and support she has provided to me. She has been a source of stability and comfort during a difficult time, and strikes a great balance of long-term strategic vision and tactical executi...on. Emily is organized, detail-oriented with a calm presence, and is extremely knowledgeable about MD case law. Whether in court or working together on various filings, I feel my best interest -- and most importantly, my child's best interests -- are always top of mind for her. I am so appreciative of her partnership and advice. Her ability to break down complex topics so I know what to expect next during an overwhelming time has been really important to me. I highly recommend Emily and her team at FLAG. I could not have possibly found a better attorney to represent me.

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!!

Professional & Attentive

Emily was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. She not only gave expert advice based on facts and laws, but also provided guidance based off her past cases/experiences. Emily was very effective and efficient, and fast to respond to my questions and requests.

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!
