This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Not responsive.

We hired Emily to work our case and she did a subpar job. Lack of communication during the process and did not acknowledge or accomplish what we needed to execute. She is also the most expensive attorney in the area and doesn’t advocate for the client.

Emily Hartz

Emily has been our lawyer for quite some time now but she got us in quickly and wrote pages of information based on the situation. She also was able to keep us from going to court through her expertise and knowledge. We were grateful for her expediency and feel confident she will help us again if ne...cessary

Emily goes above and beyond for her clients!

Emily was hired as our attorney to handle our adoption. She went above and beyond to get it completed before my husband had to go overseas for work. She is down to earth and very good at answering your questions truthfully and let’s you know what to expect. Her legal assistant is great as well. We hi...ghly recommend Emily if you are in need of an attorney that you can count on to do everything she can.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
