Top Notch Attorney

Emily took over my case from another attorney that went out of town. She got my charges dismissed. Although that's not the part that I was most impressed with. She was always available for me. She emailed me over the holiday to answer questions. She took my case and concerns seriously and contac...ted the appropriate people multiple times to ensure that my case was taken care of. She is a consummate professional and by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with. Should you ever need someone to be on your side and fight for you, Emily is the best attorney for the job, bar none. Thank you, Emily, for a job well done!!

Fantastic service & professionalism

Emily Lachance was absolutely the most communicative lawyer I have ever encountered, we were always able to reach her one way or another. Her professionalism, humanity and understanding was beyond what I could ever hope for. She was able to see right thru the lying accusser and was able to free us fr...om the false accusation. With the case charge being a F1 she used her impressive skills to get the best results which was almost down to a citation. Couldn't ask for a better firm and lawyer, simply the Best !!!!! Impressive skills & wonderful down to earth person to speak to as well as being tough enough to get things done. I would recommend Emily to anyone and she will also be the first person I contact for any further needs!!!!!!

Outstanding Criminal Defense Attorney

Case dismissed, Aggravated sexual assault of a minor. I am pleased to submit to you this letter of recommendation for Emily LaChance to be your next Criminal Attorney. This was the worst time of my life, especially when I had done nothing to warrant the charges leveled against me. I truly felt vic...timized by the false charges, accusations, and slanderous lies. Having Emily’s representation brought a tremendous feeling of peace to both my wife and me. Her positive attitude and wise council, along with her intervention with the Criminal court system was a relief with the no bill dismissal I received. She was always available to meet with us, answer phone calls and emails. She is the most talented, knowledgeable, hardworking and caring attorney. Her experience from the Criminal Courts as an Assistant District Attorney helped us understand the court process and she had a plan for my case from the very beginning. Her enthusiasm supported us to get through this most difficult time, and we finally got the happy ending! We highly recommend Emily LaChance, and we are truly grateful for what she has done for us! Please do not hesitate to go to her when you feel you are helpless! She is the one you can rely on! Emily, I want to thank you for representing me over the last year.

  • 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.
