Emily Moore Leininger

We were in a time sensitive custody situation that had us lost and scared. I reached out to Emily after finding her on a google search and I couldn't have been luckier. She responded quickly and she worked me in for a phone call where I asked all my questions and got some immediate advise. Ultimately, we wanted to retain Emily in case the situation needed quick action from her. She has always been responsive and compassionate when we were scared and didn't know what to do. I can't thank her enough. We will use Emily for any custody issue we have in the future.

Emily is incredibly kind, passionate, professional, and attentive. I hired her for custody issues following my divorce. (I had an AWFUL experience with a different attorney through those proceedings and was traumatized by a lawyer who has since been disbarred). After meeting with several other family law attorneys who told me my wishes/hopes to protect my child were "impossible" - Emily said she could get it done, and she did! She is wonderful to work with and I will definitely use her again for any future needs! I've even recommended her to several friends and colleagues who are just as pleased.

We used Emily for a child custody case. She was very professional and attentive. She’s quick to respond to questions. She helped us win custody. I would definitely use her as a lawyer again. Very highly recommended.

I went to Emily wanting to make changes to my current parenting plan that was created during an emotional divorce. Originally, the plan lacked the wording and specificity it neeeded to ensure my child would have strict guidelines about the use of firearms, an out-of-state pick-up and drop-off plan, and detailed information regarding time with each parent, etc. She was always up front with me about things that I wanted that may not work, no matter how emotional I may have been; and her knowledge of the law and her interest in both myself and my son‘s best interest truly showed in her work ethic. She responded quickly when I needed advice, no matter what day or time, and always made me feel calm about the situation at hand. My parenting plan meets my child’s needs clearly, and I know that I can count on her to be honest, efficient, and ultimately there for my son and I when I need her. She’s checked in with me to see how things are going even after her payment was received, and I know that she’ll be there for us both when we need her. She’s a wonderful person, and an extraordinary lawyer. I would recommend her services to anyone who asks.

I have used Emily from the very beginning of my divorce. Unfortunately, I have a very difficult ex husband but Emily has always been there to fight for what's best for me. She won't backdown or settle for anything that isn't in my best interest. I've had to contact her after hours and when she was out of the country on vacation. She's always willing to listen and help.

No one ever wants to go through divorce or a child custody battle, but Emily made it a relatively quick and painless experience. She got to work on my case immediately and made sure I felt valued, no matter how busy she was. She remained relentless in the pursuit of my desires but remained very honest about her opinion of my requests. She made sure I was aware of the battle I was choosing to fight and did her best to help me settle everything, without a lengthy court battle. Her sole focus was on doing what was best for myself and my family. When I started researching lawyers I felt like I was going to be very alone through the process but from the moment that I first spoke with Emily she made me feel empowered and helped me regain control of my life. I would recommend her to anyone looking for honest and strong legal representation.

Emily was amazing in helping with the custody issues with my child. When other attorneys told me there was nothing that I could do, that the person who had driven drunk with my child would end up getting the same amount of parenting time they had prior to being arrested, she fought for me and she fought for my child. I can’t thank her enough!

There is nothing fun or easy that involves family law, and having Emily by my side was a huge benefit to me. She helped me through several difficult situations that resulted in the best outcome for my family. Being a dad and having 80% custody is not the norm, but through diligence and making the correct decisions I was able to get there. Emily understands the court systems in our area, which is a plus on setting a court date. She also maintains a professional relationship with many other attorneys, which helps to keep the lowest level of animosity possible. I feel she went beyond the normal expectations in working through several different problems. She was always on time, and always followed through with her commitments. I 100% recommend Emily to resolve your family law issue.

I was referred to Emily and I could not be more thankful that she took on my case. Before I hired her, she talked to me for a long time on the phone listening to the history, what was going on, etc. I could tell she genuinely cared and wasn't the typical, "Yes, I can definitely help you. My rates are..." type of attorney. I could tell off the bat that Emily knew exactly what she was talking about and she immediately told me what the plan of action would be. That consultation gave me immediate relief that everything would be okay. I was dealing with a VERY spiteful, manipulative, narcissistic person who was putting me through a living hell to be honest. He had made up countless false accusations and filed documents requesting full custody of our daughter. Emily was like a pitbull- I loved it. You can literally feel her passion for what she does. Every time we went to court or mediation she came in with her binder full of facts and brain full of knowledge and put an end to all of the false allegations. Thanks to Emily's dedication and true concern for my case, I still have primary custody of my daughter, am getting on time child support, and the lies and defamation were brought to a halt. I promise you will not regret hiring Emily- you would only regret if you did not. I would use her a million times over. Her rates are extremely fair and worth every single penny to have someone as strong as her on your side. She will be my go-to for anything should I ever need an attorney again.

Since the beginning, Emily has been dedicated to helping me gain custody of my child. Although, the process has been lengthy due to the court system itself, Emily has been very professional and helpful. She is very prompt with communication (calls, texts, emails). I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through a custody battle.

I found Emily through Autism Tennessee. I needed a lawyer who could understand my specific concerns for our special needs children. She has been the best at getting everyone involved (guardian ad litem, CASA worker, my ex’s lawyer,..etc.) to understand that our kids are not neurotypical & can not be treated as if they are. She is comassionate, professional, hard working, & honest. She is also very quick at returning phone calls, emails, or texts with any questions I have. I’m so thankful I hired her!

Emily has been great throughout this stressful process of divorce. She is patient, empathetic and responsive, she even took a call from me while on vacation.

I would use these words in a heartbeat to distribute Attorney Leininger. I was in court and saw her fiercely defending another client, and just knew if I ever needed a lawyer I wanted her. Circumstances prevailed, and a few weeks later I found myself needing just such help. I talked to a few other attorneys, but they didn’t gain my trust. I was instantly relieved and pleased with Emily from the start. When we appeared in court the first time together, she showed me a ferocity that reassured me I was truly in the right hands. My case has, in my opinion, dragged on for too long, but through it all she has been excellent counsel. My case hasn’t concluded yet, but with her representing me, I know I’m in the best hands I could be in. I would recommend her to anyone, anywhere, anytime, for any legal need... even if she couldn’t represent you, trust and believe whoever she recommends has to be high caliber. Because Attorney Leininger is truly the best.

Really went the extra mile and turned a bad situation in my favor. Got more time with my daughter then most get period, really fought hard for me. Very patient and understanding of my situation. Not judgmental very detail oriented and out for your best interest. I'll be using her again when I go for full custody , she is just that phenomenal. Thank you sooo much for everything.

Emily was great to work with. She worked hard for her client and communicated well. She was firm when she needed to be and negotiated in good faith on the case we had. Very reasonable. If you looking for an attorney in the franklin area I wouldn’t hesitate to call Emily.
