Post Conviction Hero

Before I met Emily, I was burned by every lawyer I had. She has shown me that there are some lawyers out there that actually care. Emily is a true humanitarian, and I refer everyone to her.

Traffic Court

I moved out of state and had a pending court date with some pretty expensive tickets was facing. Emily was able to get the really expensive ticket and contempt fee waived and set up a reasonable payment plan with the court. It was all pretty last minute, but got the job done and saved me a lot of he...adache and money.

Criminal Defense

I work for a nonprofit that does job training for formerly incarcerated people, and Emily has represented a couple of the young men in our program. She was amazing, and really did the impossible for our clients. She was professional, determined, and flexible. She helped our clients to get much lighte...d sentences that what we expected so that they could stay home with their children and continue working.

Emily quieted the title on the property I had the tax lein on for years. She handled the issue very professionally and charged a fair price. Also she explained the process very well, would hire again.

Excellent Work

I am a market gardener and Ms. Posner represented me in a land dispute. She combined the utmost professionalism and razor sharp knowledge of the law with empathy and a truly holistic and person-centered approach. She is brilliant and prompt, and I trusted her implicitly with my case. I'm so grateful ...for her services!

  • 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.
