Criminal Case

It's really hard to get hold of her, she hardly answered the phone nor replied emails. In my opinion, she did not do her best flighting for us. I would not recommend to anyone.

GREAT ATTORNEY THAT KNOW HOW TO TALK TO THE JUDGE.

Eight of us went to a bond hearing to see the judge for a bond.All eight of us had different attorney. I had Ms. Munn as my attorney. I was the only one released that day.Need I say more.If you want an attorney that going to tell you the truth,know her way around a courtroom.you need to call her A.S....A.P!

Absolutely no one better.

My fiance has been through hell & back with his custody & child support case. His previous lawyer was terrible & he probably should have never signed the agreement, but, alas, he did -- and we were living with the repercussions until the situation became truly dire, including for his three boys. Emil...y agreed to meet with us for an hour in July 2017 free of charge to review our case. Afterwards, she was cautious but assured us she thought she could help & that my fiance's agreement was unfair and wrong. Even though the case was based far from her home base, she still took it on and she never once stopped fighting for us and the best interest of the boys. We faced several hurdles, but Emily and her phenomenal legal assistant Kaitlan (Kaitlan is a secret weapon, no doubt) were not only a superior legal team but also irreplaceable advocates, which set them apart from most lawyers I have encountered. Emily is fair, firm and fierce -- and ready for battle in a courtroom. We walked away with nearly everything we had asked for despite other lawyers telling us that there was no shot, no matter the situation. As others note, Emily is incredibly busy. She takes on difficult cases, is a mom and gives her all to everything. We were at first apprehensive when it was at times difficult to get ahold of her personally; but it didn't take long to recognize that Kaitlan herself is incredibly talented, skilled and well-versed in our case. Both Emily and Kaitlan were vital to a successful outcome, and we could not be more grateful. I have worked around trial attorneys in my field of work for some time, and there is NO ONE I would recommend more than Emily Meyers Munn & Kaitlan Costner.

Awesome criminal attorney

Mrs. Munn took my case and assured me from the beginning she was going to do her best, and she DID! I was charged with 8 felonies, Munn fought for my freedom from my bond hearing to my trial. I worried katilyn all 6 months but she was always so polite, understanding and assuring that Munn was fighti...ng. Munn and God are the reason I got my kids, car and money back and also NO Felony. I will recommend Munn to anyone looking for a REAL lawyer not one that will tell you what you want to hear but one that will fight for you till she get the results you need. I love Munn and Katilyn they really made the hardest time in my life alot easier. WANT A REAL LAWYER GET MUNN she super busy and cant cater to all your questions personally but thats why she has katilyn, but trust her when she says she fighting for you!!!!!!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am an attorney, but I knew nothing about family law. I retained Emily and I was able to win primary physical custody of my daughter at the conclusion of my case. Emily is a great trial attorney and an even better person. I would encourage you to meet with her if you have any family law issues."
