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.

Emily is a great family lawyer. I have been through the court battle now for 3 years. She has been my lawyer for two of those years. She started out at a different Law Firm and than moved. I followed her on the journey to a different firm. If I didn't approve of her as my lawyer I wouldn't have staye...d with her through this transition. Emily gives great advice as well not thinking of what's in my best interest but what is in my daughter's best interest. She has fought for my daughter and me. Emily is well organized and stays well researched and knowledgeable of the Laws concerning parental rights. Very easy to talk too and not hesitant on asking the tough questions. I'd recommend Emily to anyone in need or in search of a lawyer.

I was in a custody battle for my daughter and it took a turn for the worst. I had hired a different attorney, at a different law firm and my case just kept going downhill. I felt lost and hopeless. After 8 months of anguish, I fired the previous lawyer and hired Emily (She had worked on a separate, s...maller case for me previously and had done a phenomenal job). She came in and worked hard from the very first day. She was able to pull my case together and accomplish everything that should have been done during the previous 8 months, in under a month. For the first time in a year, I had hope and the weight of the world was taken off my shoulders. I can honestly say it was because of Emily. She took care of everything and kept me informed at all times. My family and myself cannot thank Emily enough for all the hard work she put into my case. She listened to me and never made me feel uncomfortable. I could ask her any question and she was able to explain the answers in terms I could understand. She was always patient and understanding with me as well as my family. The outcome of my case was what I wanted and it was all because of Emily's dedication and hard work. She presented such a great case, even the Judge had thanked her for her hard work in court. Emily is honest, compassionate, prompt and very knowledgeable. I couldn't have hired a better attorney and I would recommended her to anyone.
