I hired Emily for a case and was seriously disappointed. My ex had shopped every reputable atty in Western NC, so my options were limited. I would NOT go this route again. I hope no one else is backed into a corner like I was.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY WHO PUTS HER HEART IN IT!

EMILY HAS HANDLED MY CASE NOW FOR A YEAR...NOT ONLY DOES SHE PUT HER HEART INTO IT BUT SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY! EMILY HAS TAKEN MY AFTER HOUR CALLS WITHOUT HESITATION AND STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME UNTIL SITUATIONS HAVE GOTTEN RESOLVED! HOW MANY ATTORNEYS DO YOU KNOW THAT WILL TAK...E THE TIME TO HELP YOU AFTER HOURS? SHE PRACTICES LAW THE WAY IT "SHOULD" BE DONE! WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE!!!

The best family law attorney in Asheville

I have no idea what the other person (Lisa) who reveiwed Ms. Dezio expected. I do know that Ms. Dezio is one of the best attorneys in Asheville. Ms. Dezio represented me in a volitile custody battle with my ex-wife who is delusional to say the least. Through DSS investigations, custodial hear...ings and ultimately the trial, Ms. Dezio was professional and always there to represent my child's best interest. I ultimately got full custody of my son and the ex has no custodial rights and no visitation. Ms. Dezio is an awesome attorney and knows family law like the back of her hand.

Emily is the ambulance chaser of family law...give her a retainer and she's sure to promise you impossible outcomes. What a disappointment for me and my children...if you really think you have a chance, contact a real attorney.

I apologize for your alleged experience. Though I question the validity of your comments because I do not have a record of representing you in the last 1-6 months. I take pride in providing honest and frank advice to clients, and make an effort to guarantee my best work - but not to promise outcomes. Outcomes are ultimately up to the Courts.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
