If you want to lose and in epic fashion, This is your guy!

The absolute worse incompetent lawyer I have ever hired or could even imagine. I honestly think he was on my wife`s side. It was either that or incompetence to the likes of jaw dropping. He missed court date appearances, Lose clear cut cases so badly I had to pay for opposing party fees, tell me to s...ay certain things that he would cross examine then tell the judge nothing further when it was our turn to rebut. He would tell me how many times he lost when we would leave as if it some sort of justification. He would file a motion and it would just go away and when I asked why there was never a ruling he told me not to cry over spilt milk. No Morals, No integrity, I could have saved the $28,000.00 I paid in total lawyer fees and just told the judge to do everything my ex wanted be cause she got everything she asked for. so my total loses round about were about $130,000.00. so if you want to lose and in epic fashion, This is your guy!

It is incredibly frustrating to see comments like these when, in order to maintain my professional duties and obligations to clients, I cannot fully respond. For some or all of these things, I would deny the allegations and assume there is some variation of miscommunication. Unfortunately, even when people who do not have prenuptial agreements retain their business without paying the other side, retain homes at a significantly greater value than the court would allow, and otherwise obtain financial advantages, they are sometimes unhappy because they had to pay the other side anything at all. Often, I am seeing people that have non-marital property refinance and put the home into joint names, you do not have to do this, and if you do, the court will treat the situation as though you have gifted half the property to the other spouse, even if you pay for it 100%. People will sometimes have to pay the other sides attorney's fees when they do not provide discovery, when there is a significant difference in their financial circumstances, or when they have failed to comply with court orders or agreements. We pride ourselves on giving people realistic expectations as to the cost of litigation as well as the actual likely result even when we are seeking extraordinary relief from the court. Sometimes, the court grants relief that is unexpected and/or improper, which is one of the reasons the firm is handling family law appeals. I'm not sure who this anonymous poster is, however, I would be happy to address with this person why they felt the need to post something like this if they contact me directly.

Not a Honorable man

Ed was referred to me by my nephew. We agreed to a price and I paid in full. They have known each other since they were kids at 9 years old. We thought of him as a family friend

Divorce Case

I hired Mr. Emrick to handle my divorce. My spouse left for another, made claims against me that she later testified under oath were untrue. She attempted to drag out the divorce much longer than necessary. Mr. Emrick and his Team resolved my case satisfactorily. I recommend Emrick Family Law!...

Top notch service

I was referred to this firm from a friend who was going through a divorce. He expressed his satisfaction with their service. Edward and Rebecca wholehearrtely lived up to and exceeded my expectations. My child custody case was dealt with swiftly and resulted in more timeshare and less child support t...han I'd ever suspected was possible. During the grueling parts of my case, Attorney Emrick predicted much of the outcome and strategized for me, always conveying a realistic view of the situation. He and his paralegal replied to me promptly and provided me with regular guidance. I fear that if I hadn't hired them, my son & I would have a much more distant relationship. I can't thank this law firm enough! John Burrows

Money well spent.

Ed and Rebecca also the rest of the staff are truly amazing. If you feel the need for Hands-On help they will sit down with you and explain word for word in detail what is going on. These people have worked night and day for me and I truly appreciate everything they have done. Not that I ever want to... get another divorce but if I had to I would not hesitate to higher Ed Emrick to represent me. You couldn't ask for a nicer Young stand up man. I wish them all the best and thank you again sincerely Daniel.
