Emily is awesome!

If you’re looking for an expert in family law, you’ve found the right person! Working with Emily has been a fantastic experience. She has been incredibly supportive, responsive, and thorough while representing me, and she consistently goes above and beyond. Legal matters can be stressful, but Emily m...akes everything smooth and manageable. I’m very grateful for Emily and would recommend her without hesitation.

Best attorney around

I couldn’t have asked for better representation during my divorce. From the start, she demonstrated an incredible depth of experience and strategic thinking. She anticipated issues I never would have considered and ensured they were addressed in the agreement, which has already proven invaluable long... after the divorce was finalized. Her foresight saved me time, stress, and potential conflict down the road. She was consistently available, responsive, and genuinely invested in protecting my best interests. I have complete trust in her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a skilled and thoughtful family law attorney.

Trusted Advocated in Family Law

When I reached out to Desantis Family Law for help with a child custody and divorce case, I had no idea how much of a difference the right attorney would make - but over the course of working with Emily, it became clear that this is exactly the kind of family law attorney everyone hopes to find: comp...assionate, sharp, and highly competent.

Above and Beyond

Emily Desantis was such a blessing during a very difficult time for me and my family. Going through a separation with a young child is not something anyone plans on when they first find out they are expecting. Emily's patient guidance, diligence, and mother-to-mother advice was more than I could have... expected or asked for in an attorney. My intuition led me to trust her, as she calmly hushed my anxieties whenever I felt overwhelmed with the reality of raising my daughter in two different households. The transition went smoothly and I have no doubt it was due to the attention Emily gave to not just our case, but also to me as a brand new single mother with doubts and fears. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

High conflict custody

I really appreciated how much thought went into the approach of the opposition in my case and how difusing a high conflict situation was part of the initial process instead of perpetuating more strife and affecting the greater good, (Children). I am happy with the advice and tactics both discussed an...d the thoughtful solutions implemented in my case and i would recommend Emily to friends and family alike.
