Effective, aggressive

Emily was able to take over the case, quickly review all the materials, then efficiently identify the issues and get the case dismissed. Other lawyers had said this would be impossible, and I'd need a miracle. I got Emily. I am so glad I did.

Grateful

Emily did a very good job. She’s pragmatic , intelligent and honest. Emily plans the next steps while still being present in the current step. Very organized and thorough. I felt like I could trust her and the direction she wanted to go. Also Emily is very patient and kind. I found that helpful becau...se I felt like so may people we had to deal with in the court system just didn’t get it. Emily got us a deal that far exceed what the courts would of agreed to. Both in scope and duration. This firm as a whole is very good. And I’m a group of very good lawyers Emily stands out. Thank you for helping be and my family Emily.

Brilliant!

Emily was perfect for my needs and was attentive to every detail. She is confidant and opinionated when needed. If you are looking for a highly responsible and capable lawyer, she is it!

Emily is a fantastic Attorney and Partner

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.

One step ahead

Emily did an amazing job! From start to finish of my divorce Emily was always one step ahead, and was patient and took into consideration of the emotional stress any divorce can bring. Emily was understanding, but also stressed and stayed on track of trying to resolve the issues in my case.
