Highly Reccomend

Emily was a wonderful attorney to work with, and I highly recommend her services. Throughout my divorce and custody case, I felt supported, and she consistently communicated with all parties involved. She was consistently professional and provided multiple unique ideas for approaching complex situati...ons, and her strategies worked out great in my case. Emily was extremely organized and remembered the intricate details of my case, even during periods of inactivity due to court timelines and the other party involved. When speaking with Emily, she gave her undivided attention, making me feel that she genuinely cared about me and my family. She had a great ability to clearly explain legal precedents and family law in a way that was easy for me to understand as a non-legal professional. Her advice was clear and insightful, yet she never pressured me, which fostered a great attorney-client relationship. I cannot recommend Emily enough, and I am incredibly grateful to have had her on my side during this time.

Focused and professional

I was hit with an unwanted custody modification and Ms. Koning helped me get the results I needed. She gave me the time and attention that I thought the issue deserved and was professional and responsive at every point in the case. There was never any question that she represented my best interests... even while she had suggestions that I hadn't initially considered. In summary, I paid for experience and guidance and she delivered.

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.

Professional, Organized, Supportive

Emily Koning represented me in my divorce process, and I am so glad I found her. I was very certain I was doing the right thing, but I think no matter what it is a difficult thing to do. It's a long and complicated process, and I knew I needed professional guidance through it. From our first meeting,... Emily was extremely helpful and organized. She educated me about the steps and what to expect. She answered all questions. And throughout the entire process she kept me aware of where things were. Additionally she was extremely supportive and cheerful, and that made it all easier. She was super professional, but at the same time she personalized the process and talked with me about the process in a human way. I also appreciate that she was very direct about the costs from the beginning. I highly recommend Emily Koning.
