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...
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.

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!...

Divorce
I followed Mr Emrick after he left the law firm of BNC. Said he was glad I stayed with him and that we a had a case. After I was no longer able to pay he withdrew from the case. In 2016 after having a meeting at Mr Turner office we were leaving but Mr Emrick stayed behind and when I went back to see ...
Although I am disappointed to hear that a former client has felt the need to post a negative review and that he is somehow dissatisfied with me, it should be noted that this individual is upset with things that occurred subsequent to my representation of him. It is difficult to provide a full response to this review without this individual providing me with a consent to provide information that is protected by the attorney client privilege. However, I will say that A) the 2016 trial I conducted resulted in a substantial reduction in my client's alimony obligation and B) when an individual, who has the ability to comply with a court order, particularly an order for support (alimony or child support), willfully fails to do so, this is a contempt of court and so long as the court provides him with the key to his own cell (usually an amount of money to pay which he has the ability to pay) then that person can be incarcerated. I did not represent this individual at the time he was ordered to go to jail or after he had been incarcerated.

Excellent attorney
I would highly recommend Ed Emrick. I hired him to take over my divorce case after my previous attorney was dragging things out. He immediately got to work on it and got the ball rolling.
