Awesome Attorney

Very professional and her centrally located in downtown Raleigh across from the governors mansion. Emily was always quick to respond to any of my questions, was very knowledgeable about how things work and what could be expected Thankfully in the end, we reached a deal with the prosecutor that I ...was happy with, I'd definitely recommend you give her a call. The whole process was seamless and quick with no court continuances.

Excellent Attorney

Attorney Gladden's firm came highly recommended to me by word of mouth. After discussion with one of the firm's partners, Emily was assigned to my case, and I could not be more grateful. She made time to listen without distraction, she was meticulously thorough, and she and her partner on the ...case collaborated seamlessly with a local attorney I'd hired several weeks prior for what became a multi-day trial. I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism both in and out of the court room. I hope to never have to use a defense attorney again, but if I do, my first call will be to Emily.

Heart of a Warrior

For anyone dealing with the criminal justice system, no matter the circumstances it is an incredibly stressful situation. My very high profile case drug on through 4 years and multiple attorneys and even consultations with many many more. I am SO happy to have ended up with Emily Gladden on my team... when it came down to the end, I would have never made it through my day in court without her expertise and support. Of EVERY single attorney that I had the opportunity to speak with she is the ONLY one to have such an amazing and empathetic heart. She TRULY listened to our plight and was so very kind. And this is something that is so glaringly missing with most attorneys. I imagine that it is very tough given all that they see and deal with on a daily basis and it is so very admirable that she is able to retain these traits. I truly cannot imagine standing in court without her by my side and also together as I was free to walk out of the courthouse into the warm sunshine! I highly recommend using Emily Gladden for any and all of your needs! You will not be disappointed knowing that she has seen you as a person and not just a number and has represented you to very best of her ability as you navigate period in your life. She is absolutely incredible both as a human and as an attorney!

Excellent Case Handling

“I truly appreciated the help of Attorney Gladden. She took my case pro bono when I was in a tricky situation. She provided excellent legal advice and was able to get my criminal charge expunged. I do not know what I would have done without her!”

Superior Attorney Service!

I contacted Tin Fulton Attorney Service via Google. This was the best search ever! I had the opportunity to have Attorney Emily represent me in my case of 2 very serious fraud charges. Which could have had a maximum Felony sentence. But, thanks to Tin Fulton and Attorney Emily, who represented me... in the highest! The charges were reduced to a misdemeanor and dismissed! Attorney Emily was with me from day one! She made me feel at ease. And, always had a hug and a smile to share. Attorney Emily would always be in court to represent me and most times she would have already spoken to the DA before I would arrive! She is very Professional, caring and really makes the client feel that they care and are concern of the final outcome! Thank you Attorney Emily and Tin Fulton, Raleigh for your EXCELLENT services!

"I knew Emily when we both worked in the same public defender office in the Bronx. There are few lawyers I know with her tenacity, passion, and skill. She goes to the ends of the earth for her clients and leans no stone unturned in her search for a favorable resolution. Emily was known in our office for negotiating the best deals for her clients through persistence and sheer force of will. She is kind, reassuring, and patient with her clients, and she is experienced in a wide range of criminal matters (from petty crimes to death penalty cases). Above all else, she deeply cares."
