About Emily
Biography
I am a board certified family law specialist and devote 100% of my practice to divorce & family law.
One of my goals is to provide the client with the pertinent information so that he or she can make the best decision, an informed decision. Sometimes a client does not agree with what I feel is the best decision. Ultimately it is your life, and you get to call the shots, but at least make an informed decision.
My job as your attorney is to represent your best interests. In most cases, part of representing the client’s best interests is for the client to keep as much money in his/her pocket as possible- and paying your attorney as little as possible. If there is ever any work you can do in your case yourself, and thereby reducing your attorney’s fees, I will always give you the option to do it yourself. Not only does this reduce your attorney’s fees, but it means you are more actively involved in your case.
The most important thing is that your trust your lawyer. I am personally, morally, legally and ethically obligated to be loyal to my clients. Many people are not “themselves” during a divorce. Their head is foggy and their moods depressed. They don’t know who to trust and they are angry. Many times they do things or act in ways that are detrimental to themselves. These things can produce conflict with your lawyer as well as other people around you; try to be patient and understand that your lawyer is working for you and you must trust that.
