Guardianship
Emily was very personable and professional. She guide me through the process of gaining guardianship. She was prompt with all questions and correspondence and advised on how to make my case more affordable.

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Emily Wilson is a real professional attorney. She is very dedicated, hard working, and family oriented lawyer. My divorce case that i thought would be complicated and expensive ended up being quiet simple and straightforward all because of Emily's professionalism and her proven track record ...

Do your homework
I have no idea who these are other reviewers are talking about. Emily has an extremely passive approach towards custody placement disagreements. She made very poor decisions/recommendations for filings that my kids and I are still paying for. During my initial consultation, I left feeling very hop...
In response to this message, we reviewed the client file. We provided our best professional judgment, in light of the facts and relevant law. We regret that any client is less than fully pleased with service, and we strive daily to maintain the highest standards, in all facets of our work.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Emily on various family cases over the past few years. She is knowledgeable and compassionate, and she communicates with her clients on a personal level beyond the capability of most attorneys. I would recommend her services without hesitation."
"Emily is a great attorney. She is zealous in advocating her client's positions, but also reasonable in trying to reach solutions that work for both parties. You will be in good hands if you hire her."
"I endorse this lawyer. In a recent case in which we were both involved, Attorney Wilson was diligent and zealous in representing her client's interests while maintaining a professional, productive relationship with opposing counsel (me) and the court."
"I have known Attorney Wilson ("Emily") since 2008, when we began our legal careers together as law students in New York City. During this time I have had the opportunity to work with her on projects as a law student, and legal matters as a lawyer. Since we are now practicing law in the Madison, Wisconsin area, it is a pleasure to collaborate regularly with Emily and refer family cases her way. Emily is among the most passionate and dedicated lawyers I know. She strives to support social justice in her life and work. This commitment is apparent in her client advocacy, as she skilfully navigates the complex legal system that governs family law, while maintaining focus on the real "human" or vulnerable interests of her clients. Especially in family law, you need a lawyer like Emily with both the sharpness and sensibilities to fully advocate your case, and achieve the justice you deserve. I very highly recommend Emily as your family law attorney."
