John F. Emerson

Attorney Emerson is a very proficient and dedicated attorney. From day one he surpassed the level of motivation and expectations I anticipated for my legal case. Attorney Emerson is a man of great integrity and he will go the extra mile to do everything he possibly can to deliver the results you deserve. I will definitely utilize his services again!

Having the privilege to receive counsel from Mr. Emerson has significantly impacted my life. Mr. Emerson has always showed compassion and professionalism during our interactions. Despite the significant awards that have been bestowed to Mr. Emerson, which include, but are not limited to the U.S.C. School of Law Alumni Association Compleat Lawyer Award, Mr. Emerson is very approachable and relatable. Mr. Emerson is very gracious to his clients in that he always makes time to respond to their needs despite his workload. The integrity and leadership by which Mr. Emerson exemplifies through his service to his clients related to the pursuit of justice truly makes Mr. Emerson second to none. Mr. Emerson has truly given me peace of mind across the situations by which he was hired to serve on my behalf. Mr. Emerson was contacted specifically for services related to educational law. The school by which I am currently enrolled failed to matriculate me into the doctoral program with the specialization by which the department chair and I agreed upon. The department chair constructed a program plan consistent with the clinical track that I received prior to matriculation but he did not enroll me into the clinical track with the registrar. Thus, without pursing remedies with the counsel of Mr. Emerson, I would not be able to graduate on time. This is attributable to the fact I would have completed classes that were inconsistent with the documentation that the registrar received. Furthermore, FAFSA would not be at liberty to cover classes that were not consistent with the program plan that the office of the registrar is required to abide by. While Mr. Emerson has only served on my behalf twice, he will always be my attorney of choice until his retirement. He is a brilliant and talented attorney that will always go the extra mile for his clients.

Earlier this year, I was laid off from my job of 5 years with a very large adhesive manufacturer. I hired John as my non compete was extremely limiting in what I could do and where. Having successfully worked within the adhesives market for years, I was concern about my future employment and was not willing to learn a new industry and start all over again. While many wanted to hire me, my non compete was keeping most from moving forward. John provided me solid advice, guidance and within a relatively short amount of time, was able to negotiate an agreement that all parties were satisfied with along with getting me all the severance that I was owed. If you are looking for a solid employment attorney who will work with and for you, I highly recommend John.
