Smart Intelligent Angel Sent From Above!

She is relentless and will not stop at anything to ensure that she protects your rights and fights for your freedom with every available use of case law to pursue a swift and decisive victory in court. She was able to keep my loved ones calm and collected as she assisted us through the legal process ...of getting our case to a successful win. It's real people like her that are warm, compassionate, informative, yet strong, assertive, and passionate to see things to a successful end. I would recommend that you obtain her services in any of your legal needs. This Angel will save your day!

Assault by threat ticket

I was helping mummy son move from a broken marriage and we had his truck loaded with his items , I was in the drivers seat of the pickup when his father in law came screaming at me in the vehicle , he was reaching into the cab of the vehicle trying to unlock my door when I specifically told him if he... came any further their would be consequences that would not be in his best interest . 45 minutes after leaving a Montgomery county Sherrifs officer came and writhe me the citation for assault by threat . Myself , my son and Emily went to court where the da's office wanted me to take a 4 hour anger management course and the charges would be dropped . I thought about that for a few moments and was not happy . I asked EMILY to go back to the da and kindly let him know that the judge could have been on the scene pronouncing the person dead that was pissed off trying to open the vehicle . Rest assure I did not know if this person had a weopon or not but was not taking any chances . EMILY came back after telling the da that I wanted a jury trial and that it was unacceptable.. All charges where subsequently dropped ... Thanks Emily . Very professional and seems to really love what she does . I'm a disabled firefighter that once all worked for the da's office at Harris county . All I handled was homicide files and issued them to the da's office .. I know a little bit about what's the law in some areas but also know that this citation should have never been written to take up someone's time .. Thanks Emiy , you're the bomb .

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.
