Divorce mediation

We hired Emily as a mediator for our divorce process. The best decision made. Our case involved minor children and international background, which brought up some difficult decisions between us. Emily was always very compassionate and helped us come up with agreements in a way we could not have done ...with out her. She's very sharp, always responsive and very respectful. Highly recommended!!

So impressed........

Emily Yu is a very caring, professional and thorough attorney. Divorces are usually difficult times for us. Emily's guidance and willingness to listen to what I wanted to accomplish was beyond what I expected. Even though my spouse opted not to seek representation, Emily reached out to him to speed... up his response to my divorce proceedings, while letting him know that she was "my" attorney and could not advocate for him in any way. She was very professional and expedited paperwork so that I could move forward quickly. Within 5 months, all was said and done. She didn't tack on unnecessary time and directed the work to her paralegals and assistants so I wouldn't incure a huge bill. Her staff was professional as well. I can only assume that she leads by example. A lot of attorneys will stretch things out, so to speak. Not the case here at all. She was honest, fair and accommodating when needed. I highly recommend her services. She made a situation that was unpleasant, a very doable scenario. Thank you Emily!!

Compassionate, Hard-working, Responsive, and very bright

I found Emily through this site after I spoke to a bunch of male lawyers who I felt zero trust in helping me with my case. I talked to Emily and found out she was a new mom too - just like me - and understood what I was going through raising a baby, working full time, and how important custody was t...o me. She worked diligently to complete my case and she was there every step of the way to walk me through the process. Emily's hard work resulted in getting THE BEST possible outcome for me and my baby. Divorce isn't easy but with a brilliant lawyer like Emily, she can help you achieve a new, happier beginning. Like she did for me.

Excellent Attorney

I contacted Emily about my divorce after having issues with my current attorney being slow and non-responsive. My divorce was moving extremely slowly and I felt like things weren't progressing forward after 18 months in the process. I interviewed multiple attorneys and ultimately chose Emily. And,... I really cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She got things back on track and pushed the process forward. She practices law with a great balance of kindness, strategy and integrity. She helped argue several points in my favor during and after mediation and was did a great job of advising and guiding me throughout the process. She was very responsive and always got back with me on questions or issues that arose. She was even willing to text with me over the weekend when timing was critical. Divorce is a difficult and emotional time. You really need an attorney who is savvy, willing to fight the good fight and will advise you when to let things go. Emily was a true lifesaver. I would recommend her to anyone I know going through the process.

highly recommended

I’m an older retired attorney, and my divorce involved some complicated financial issues, but no custody issues and was not contested, although the opposing attorney was somewhat belligerent and had a tendency to misstate facts. Emily handled all of this in a very calm & competent fashion, but beyon...d that was also understanding and supportive regarding the emotional stress of a divorce. Her billing was reasonable; that is, she did not run up the bill by creating a lot of issues where there were none; as, unfortunately, some attorneys do. I highly recommend her.
