Emily Patterson Koekkoek

I was faced with an extremely litigious divorce situation with over-the-top conflict. In addition, my previous lawyer got fired from their firm for missing deadline after deadline. I was left with escalating legal fees, a never-ending list of bogus filings against me and no attorney that I could c...ount on. Emily stepped in and partnered with me, brought order to the chaos I was dealing with and provided expert, professional advice and representation. In a matter of only a few months, Emily established my rights, represented me in a court hearing and got the accusations I was facing thrown out. Emily was able to separate what was important under the law and help me not overreact to the emotion of the moment. Emily knows the law cold, cited all relevant case precedent that was relevant to my case, provided calm, rational guidance when I was at the end of my rope and knocked it out of the park strategically with the Judge and her Attorney counterpart. I am extremely thankful that Emily is my attorney and I highly recommend Emily to anyone who needs an attorney.

I was disappointed with the lack of help and lack of guidance. People hire lawyers for advice and honesty along with support. I'm unhappy that I had to do my research and ask her to advocate in a way that somewhat would better my divorce. No divorce is ever going to end in a way we want. She could ha...ve tried better and supported her clients. Perhaps she's just not experienced enough and perhaps my research was not done thoroughly before I hired her. She also overcharged me wrongfully. Which is not okay.
