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.

She’s one of the BEST

Emily is thorough, efficient, and k owns the law so much better than my wife’s ex husbands attorney. She gets it done. You won’t be disappointed.

1st Class Lawyer, Knows Her Stuff

Emily has been representing me in post divorce land/property settlement, along with getting the ex-wifes demands for life long alimony agreement reduced to reasonable time limit through great negotiation skills, knowledge of the law, and she can stealthily go toe-to-toe with any lawyer out there! Sh...e can and will get to the gritty, and appropriately keep a fair and balanced set tone, and cleverly turn the tides when dealing with the 'less than scrupulous'. She is very communicable, keeps me completely informed and stays on course. You'll never go wrong with Emily Sutton Dezio!

An outstanding advocate who achieves outstanding results

I met Emily Dezio in Summer of 2010. At that time I had been divorced for 5 years and had primary custody of my daughter - my ex-husband - a difficult man with myriad legal issues of his own in the criminal courts - continued to cause issue and take advantage of a system that truly gives every parent... an opportunity to be a good one. Immediatley Ms. Dezio was calm, professional and level headed. Her common sense approach and ability to cut to the heart of the matter meant that the time I spent in her office was utilized most efficiently. She quickly and intuitively understood difficult and challenging situations, grasped the facts and formulated a clear and concise plan of action. Emily's understanding of family law and how the court works is key to her success - she works tirelessly to come up with a good, sensible and viable solutions. In the courtroom Emily was organized, professional and left nothing to chance - she brought her 'A' game EVERY step of the way. I appreciated her directness, her compassion and her dedication to achieving not just a good result ... but the right result. I have full custody of my daughter and an order that protects her and just makes good sense. Emily charged a very fair price for exceptional work and I will not hesitate in endorsing her and recommending her to anyone I meet who is in need of an excellent attorney.
