Great attorney

I hired Emily Brenner to handle a contested divorce matter for me. Emily is an amazing divorce attorney and I am so thankful I had her on my side.

Posted by anonymous | March 16, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Horrible work ethic

She never meet with me prior to my case. I told her my preferred method of communication and she refused to communicate that way with me. Just like the prior comment she requested everything from me but never requested anything from ex. In the end she walked away from my case after taking my money an...d never provided effective representations.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Emily Brenner really fought for me. Ms. Brenner is very smart, has integrity and is a real bulldog! She did what needed to be done. From start to finish, my case was handled in a fair and just manner. I highly recommend Emily Brenner for anyone struggling through a divorce.
