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.

How fortunate that luck handed me Emily Yu to represent me in the unpleasant task of negotiating a pre-nuptial with my beloved. It is a difficult process emotionally and her compassion and gentle patience was comforting. That is not to say she is airy-fairy. This attorney knows her stuff! And if she ...does not know something specific (as we were creative solutionalizing), she researches and finds out. While there are many aspects that I appreciate about Emily Yu, as a psychotherapist myself, I most appreciated her ability to listen, synthesize information and articulate her holistic impression of my position, both in words and impeccable writ. While it was necessary to support my side of things to my beloved, I felt very affirmed by Emily "getting it" and spelling it out. She gave me a sense of myself that is not always so easy to grasp. Her degree of empathy is special. She is well schooled, but what makes her stand out from other attorneys is what can never be taught at law school... a certain intuitive sensitivity and ability to connect dots that never could have without her insight and keen ability to perceive. She is warm, friendly and personable, yet professional. Bottom line: we got it done, rather swiftly... and my husband and I are on our way to "happily ever after". As a practicing professional at helping people, I enthusiastically recommend Emily Yu for your Family law needs. Thank you Emily!

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.
