When a lawyer changes your life for the better.

I had gone through several lawyers to handle my very complicated, first of its kind in the state, divorce case. My experience seemed bleak, ongoing several years. I found Emily Dezio, who said that she "saw my case as doable, but she liked challenges". She accomplished what many others had no idea w...hat to do! Because of her determination and professionalism, I can now remarry and continue with my life! I will be forever grateful for you Emily.

The best family law attorney I have ever met

As an attorney I knew I needed an expert attorney to handle my bitter divorce; I did not know Emily at the time but she came highly recommended by attorneys I know. Emily obtained all of my initial goals and charged me 1/3rd what opposing counsel charged my ex. In other words she absolutely won my ca...se as she is an expert. I was unsure of the judge assigned to my case and of opposing counsel but Emily kept everything on tract to move the case and get it over with, being a bulldozer or a charmer, whatever she needed to do for me. 5 stars and a whopping high 5. Whatever Emily does she will do it in an exemplary fashion.

Emily Helped make our family complete.

Seven years ago my Husband and I wanted to expand our family through adoption. We met this six year old boy and instantly fell in love with him. We contacted Emily Dezio to start the adoption process. We are absolutely delighted with the services provided by Emily Dezio! In a situation fraught wi...th emotion, Emily always made us feel at ease and confident in her abilities to execute our adoption. She was professional and casual, when we had questions communication was prompt, and the whole process took less time than we anticipated. When the adoption was done it was revealed we were the first male gay couple to adopt in Henderson Co. NC. Words cannot express how grateful we are that Emily was there to help make our family complete.
