Emi Koyama

I believe you get back in life what you put into it. My experience before meeting Emi was that a free consultation was going briefly over your needs then discussing retainers and fees etc. I needed an understanding, empathetic, aggressive attorney who would make me feel that my interests were a prior...ity and after a year I had not found anyone that met my needs. When I first met Emi, she was straight to business and gave me her focused attention. After I presented the specifics of my case she gave made me feel that I would be represented in the way I needed to be. Honestly, she was even more aggressive than I was comfortable with in the beginning but I trusted her. Emi is the first attorney I have ever used and she is everything I would expect in a great attorney. She was very straightforward in what was expected from me throughout the process and was not afraid to keep me in check when things were challenging. I only spoke with Jay a few times, but I remember that he was very sharp and kept it very real for me. Sometimes we become so emotionally involved that we can't truly think like a Judge would think because our emotions make sense, to us. He had me really evaluate how I present the information in a sense that you need to choose words wisely or they can be used against you. Both Emi and Jay's guidance throughout this process was exemplary. I remember, when we received the response to our petition, it was lengthy with much of it being empty and redundant; when I read Emi's response, I was elated and knew that I had the best. The way she worded it, I was so happy and knew that it wouldn't be long before I had my daughter back. With a lot of hard work on Emi's part and with a ton of work on my end to present evidence, we eventually settled out of court for everything that I had wanted, which is to have my daughter. I could detail the many times that Emi went above and beyond the call of duty but I will let you experience that for yourself. I am thankful to have found Emi, now my daughter and I can move forward. I could go on and on but the most important thing I have to say is, I will be forever grateful to Emi for her work on this, my most important case ever. I have my daughter and if you knew the details you would know it was no easy task. Thanks!
