Emem is the best

I am 59 years old, and have worked with lots of attorneys in my life. Emem made me feel like she cared about my case. She spent the time to understand me and the outcome that I was looking for. Her legal knowledge is top line, and she knows how to get results. She is a great negotiator, is pa...tient, and knows when to fight for her clients. Hire Emem!!! You will be glad that you did. Tim

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.
