"Emily is a knowledgeable, thorough attorney who never hesitates to mentor younger attorneys in the community. She is a pleasure to work with and one of the most competent attorneys I know."
"Cannot say enough about Emily's ability to get to the heart of a matter. She is a pleasure to work with, formidable to work against, and is a very talented mediator as well."
"Emily is an excellent family court lawyer and is well respected by her peers. She is a formidable advocate and also shows great compassion for her clients. She has over 30 years experience and received her MBA and JD degrees from UNC-CH. She is a critical thinker, results oriented, and cares about client satisfaction. I endorse this lawyer."
"Emily is one of the most well respected attorneys practicing in Family Court for good reason. She is an accomplished trial lawyer who not only possesses the skills to handle even the most complex cases, but she has a pragmatic approach which often results in saving her client's time, money and the emotional turmoil which so often plague divorce cases. Emily is known for her candor and her ability to assess the situation early on. While some attorneys may tell a client what he/she wants to hear to get retained, Emily has the ability to be honest and the experience to make an accurate assessment. She is one of the few attorneys who practice in family court with an MBA, a valuable resource when dealing with financial issues. If I were divorcing Emily would be at the top of my list of attorneys to call."
