Emily Ann Carr

I have held off on reviewing Ms Carr for sometime to allow my feelings to mature...I used her for 2 cases that were interrelated. Her knowledge of the law seemed adequate. I was not provided detailed billing (after divorce when I questioned additional amount due, I got a bunch of separate time shee...ts with several incorrect (did not speak to her or appt cancelled)... it was impossible to know how. much I really owed her. Second related case, she again charged a large retainer, did very little obvious work on the case, did not always follow my requests, only met with me to discuss case the morning of the hearing. She put very little actual time in of the case for the amount of the retainer. When, a judgement of contempt was obtained, but Defendant did not abide by the ruling, she fired me as a client because I emailed her asking what was the next step. She never sent me copy of the final judgement until I called to ask about it when I learned by email that she had fired me.

Emily represented me in a modified custody case. She delayed the hearing twice because she had not submitted evidence. On the day of the hearing she didn't have a statement prepared and wasn't organized; pulling info from the original case that was no longer relevant arguments that got shut down ...by the judge immediately. Asked several "isn't it true" statements and allowed my ex to say no to all of them without providing evidence to the contrary. When I asked her why she didn't provide evidence that he was lying she said she forgot to file it but this would work . It didn't. She failed to represent my desire and interest. I told her what my desire was and she said the judge wouldn't know what that meant "whole child " so she didn't use it. When he was shooting down my case he used the words "whole child" yet she wouldn't. She missed an opportunity to express to the judge my needs here and therefore not a lot happened for my children during this proceeding. If you have an open close case without much need for a savvy lawyer she can probably get you through the process. But if you need true representation and someone to represent you, I would not suggest this lawyer. Disorganized, unseasoned, doesn't have intuition, and lazy (she didn't prepare)

Ms Carr was retained for a family case. She told us everything you would want to hear during our consultation. When it came to the case, she was unresponsive, didn't follow through and only interested in her payments. If you want an inferior and excessively expensive attorney she is perfect. Otherwi...se you would be better off with any other attorney. Do your research, ask around, find a better lawyer than Ms Carr.

Emily seems to be knowledgeable regarding law but is too concerned with her personal life to care about your case. She is very slow to respond. Charges more than her worth and is unapologetic for her demeanor. If you want to pay top dollar for a slow attorney that cares nothing about you, then she's ...perfect!
