About Emma
Biography
My practice focuses on all areas of family law, including adoption, divorce/dissolution, parenting time/parental responsibilities (custody), child support, maintenance, pre-nuptial and post-marital agreements, and parental relocation cases. I also manage my trusts and estates practice and can provide wills, trusts, powers of attorney (medical and financial), living wills, and final directives for clients at a flat fee rates.
Harrington Brewster Mahoney Smits, P.C. has one of the leading reputations in Colorado for helping families through conflict and maximizing peaceful outcomes. One of the ways we do this is by providing collaborative representation for divorcing couples. Collaborative law assists parties in settling family conflicts without Court intervention. This approach consistently helps parties come out of conflict with more positive family dynamics compared to traditional litigation. I have completed an intensive interdisciplinary collaborative training and am excited to provide this service to families.

Emma Ann Palley's Lawyer Endorsements
"Emma is a great advocate and trial attorney! She is brilliant and the Courts love her! She is also responsive and caring. You won't be sorry to have Emma in your corner. his lawyer."
"I've had the privilege of working with Emma as both opposing counsel on several difficult cases and now as a co-worker. She is hard working, tenacious, compassionate, and achieves excellent results for her clients. I wholeheartedly endorse Emma for both family law and estate planning."
"Emma is extremely knowledgeable in the law, skilled in litigation, and an excellent advocate for her clients. She goes the extra mile to understand her clients' needs and wishes so that she can provide them with the best advice and representation. Emma is a great choice for anyone seeking representation in a family law matter."
"Emma has been a completely fabulous addition to our firm. We were most fortunate that she chose our firm at which to intern some time ago during her last year in law school. Of course, she passed a very difficult Bar Exam on her first attempt and we were extremely lucky to be able to hire her and put her to work immediately after she was sworn in. I have always had two rules for new attorney hires: first, they must be smarter than me; second, they must be "good people". She fits both requirements and many more. She is smart and quick as a whip and has demonstrated complete competence with even the most complex of our cases. And on top of it all, she has a great sense of humor! Emma has been an awesome addition to our firm."
"Emma is a zealous advocate with sharp negotiation skills and a strong aptitude for domestic relations practice. Considering her off-the-charts social intelligence, she also happens to provide valuable emotional support to her clients."
"Emma's rapport with her clients helps her to give them great legal advice, even when it is hard advice for them to hear."
