Truly a joy to work with in a difficult

I worked with Emily during my recent divorce with a child custody arrangement and settlement agreement. She responded to my emails promptly and provided all options so I could be informed and choose accordingly. I always felt that she was looking out for my interests while being fair and reasonable... about all options. She was able to make multiple revisions to our settlement agreement quickly while still providing additional thoughts and consideration that ultimately made it a better agreement. Emily was the consummate professional while also being very understanding about my family's needs. A better example of what a lawyer SHOULD be, would be hard to find. While I would never wish a divorce or child custody situation upon anyone, I would HIGHLY recommend Emily for both her prompt, thorough responses and her ability to listen and understand YOUR issues.

If you are in need of expert legal advice, Attorney Emily Su-Hwa Yu is who you need

Normally, Im not one to write and post reviews, But after seeking legal advice from Atty. Su-Hwa Yu, I felt compelled to leave this review because I was taken aside by her professionalism and personal interest in my case. Over the years, I have dealt with several attorneys, But none impressed me and ...left a mark like Emily has. From my first contact with her, she gave attention to my concerns and was always available to answer any questions I may have had. Her attention to detail and willingness to listen lets you know that she really is concerned with your issues and will work diligently with you to come up with the best options concerning your legal needs. So, If you are in need of legal advice and services, especially in the Atlanta-Metro area. You need look no farther than attorney Emily Su-Hwa Yu. Im sure you will be pleased and grateful for her help as I have been. Thank you Emily for your great legal advice... Jay Roger Cole

Client Review and Recommendation for Emily Yu

Emily Yu served as one of my divorce attorneys. She is very dedicated and committed, highly professional, responsive, listens to needs and concerns, and provided legal guidance to enable me to reach a fair settlement. Emily is well educated, very confident, very articulate, prepared, and patientl...y explained many of the legal procedures that were unfamiliar to me. She was strategic in working with opposing attorney, but very collaborative with her Partners/Peers in researching / validating the best legal advice and options for my case. Although Emily's caseload continued to build during the time my case was in progress, each time we met she focused on the needs and priorities of my case, devoted the attention required, and was very ressponsive in all the follow-up actions noted. I would highly recommend Emily for anyone seeking a divorce / separation lawyer or related legal counsel.

Help was well given

She was very honest with her opinions on the subject matter. Out of all the lawyers in this site she was the most responsive, it's like she really cared about welfare of my questions. Mrs Yu. Was a professional from the very start she made it clear that she understood motives as a father who truly w...ants his daughter back in his life and what it steps that will have to be made to make that happen. Mrs Yu seems to be a great person and I would recommend her to anybody in the position I'm in, she will go above and beyond yo ensure her knowledge, resources and prior education in the legal field will get anybody the results they want. Thank you very much!

Save your money

Ms. Yu aggravated my ex and opposing counsel by stretching every deadline to the last minute. I did not need that added negative. I may as well have represented myself. In fact, when it came time to go to court, Ms. Yu told me she would be unavailable but that it was no big deal because she could jus...t send a substitute attorney. If someone I had never dealt with who had no knowledge of my case could represent me in court, then why did I pay her over $25,000? Note that all these glowing reviews on Avvo are old. Seems like something changed in her life since these were written because I certainly did not get the representation or effort that one would expect from a $450+ an hour attorney. Ms. Yu should stick to just being a mediator - that suits her demeanor and level of effort better.

We are always disappointed to have an unsatisfied Client and apologize that you are frustrated. Please remember that deadlines in litigation cannot be continued by an attorney unilaterally and always involves agreement and approval by the Client, Opposing Counsel and sometimes the Court. Further, sometimes an extension on a deadline is helpful. Please also know that every effort is made to move a case forward at all times. If Emily is not personally available due to a conflict or unavailability, an option for an Associate Attorney (who is always updated on a case) is presented for the Client's consideration.
