Excellent

Emily Moore Tyler represented me in a family law matter in 2018 and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She and her paralegal, Kellie, put adverse counsel to shame with client-focused, well-reasoned advice and thorough preparation for mediation. Her services were an excellent value and I felt that... she was an effective advocate for my best interests.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Paralegals unaware of rates, exorbitant consult fee for simple matters

This has less to do with the quality of the lawyer in question and more so of the quality of her staff she employs. That's not the representation of her firm and was duly contacted in return by her paralegal, or at least a paralegal who stated she represented her. I was informed of her $300 consul...tation fee and immediately attempted to be pressed into agreeing to a consultation appointment in 4 days at her office. I say attempted because the paralegal failed to allow me to tell her that I was a state away and would require a phone consult, then when I interjected and asked what her lawyers rate was per hour I was met with a confused admission that she did not know. Paralegal also failed to take any information down on what I was actually calling about before trying to press me into a consult. To be completely Frank, This to me reeks of unprofessionalism, and a willingness to just get bodies through the door. I don't feel like this firm has an adequate concern for my particular needs as a potential client, and I would hope that the attorney uses this feedback to perhaps review their intake policies and the professionalism of their staff.

Hi, there, thank you for your feedback. I believe this person contacted my office yesterday to inquire about an initial consultation. My paralegal is out of the office for several days, and the main office receptionist, who does not work for me, was trying to assist this person as I was in court. In my paralegal's absence, I gave the receptionist some basic information should clients or potential clients call, but she is not familiar with all of my office procedures. Because family law matters are complicated, even my paralegal only takes very preliminary information over the phone as a meeting- either in person or over the phone- is necessary to truly understand a person's issues and give him or her the best legal advice. I have no desire to "get bodies into the door" and only want to help people through one of the most difficult things they will ever go through. I hope you can see that this was a rare occurrence and I do apologize.

Made a difficult process seamless

I never thought in all my life that I would ever find myself going through a divorce. However when that reality was upon me and my young children, I knew I had to hire an attorney who would put me, my family, and my interests first. I knew I needed to be deliberate about avoiding attorneys out to p...rofit from this difficult time in my life or whose answer to everything was litigation. I was referred to Emily by a friend who was recently divorced. He described her as efficient, compassionate, and seamless in her work. I found all of this to be the case at my initial consultation with Emily. My other first impressions of Emily were that she was experienced, she knew the law, she understood the tactics of my former wife's attorney, she was straightforward, honest, interested in and protective of everything that concerned me, detailed, focused, down to earth, fully capable of being aggressive if we needed her to be, and completely understanding and committed to my case. I felt that she had a good, cost effective plan for responding to my former wife's filing. She put the plan into action that very day by reaching out to my former wife's attorney. She promised follow-up and communication, which she and her incredible paralegal Emily always delivered. One of the things that impressed me most about Emily was her retainer fee. It was extremely reasonable and greatly reduced the amount of stress I had about the whole process. She does not have one set fee for every client but instead listens to the facts of your case at consultation, works with you there to determine how long and involved the case will be, and presents a cost. This gave me an assurance that the retainer was not going to be used like a credit card. I truly felt like I was paying for the service I needed rather than my attorney's law school loan or her firm's office furniture. I would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking for solid, all around representation on family law matters to contact Emily. She made what I thought was going to be a very complex case routine and seamless. I'm extremely thankful for my friend's referral, for Emily's leadership, and for the entire outcome!

Emily is a professional and truly caring attorney. She gives her all to her clients and has helped me tremendously.

Emily has been attentive to my specific case and helps in anyway she can. She always calls to check in even after my agreement was reached. I have dealt with four attorneys in the past 7 years but Emily has been by far the best.

Horrible! I give her a 0 star!!!

Miss Emily turned against me - her client at the mediation. She did not look for my interest and even suggested me to pay for my ex mediation fee. She hired a mediator who is in her office - the mediator never introduced herself via email, so I even did not know about the mediation fee... The surpr...ise!!!! Miss Emily Tyler was scare of a fellow lawyer. The other lawyer dictated her what to do and she magically complained to the point she even used her hand to cover the document so I won't review it. The document that was sent to the judge was all nasty like a 10 year old wrote it because it was hand written in order to mislead me. Miss Emily claimed have done a lot of work and charged me for it. I never received nor a hard copy, nor a soft copy from her. Her bills are not specific of what she did. So I really have no clue. Please find another lawyer that will really mean what she or he is saying. Stay away from her please if you want to spend extra $25000 to another lawyer in order to clean up her mistake. I am choosing my word here so I won't be rejected.

By these remarks, I know who this former client is and let's just say that he is on a war path against me. He filed a grievance against me with with the North Carolina Bar and it was deemed frivolous and unfounded. He created his own situation and I did the best to help him out of it. None of what he says above is true.
