I am so pleased that I hired Emi. She is amazing. She is fighting for my case specifically for my son. She truly cares. She is also very accessible when I have a question or a concern.

Emi was nothing short of amazing in guiding me thru one of the worst and stressful experiences in my life! She came into my custody battle very late on (my fault) and worked so hard on it! She didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had at any point and responded quickly and trust me mine wasn’t an...

I retained Emi and Jay several years ago to represent me in a high conflict child custody case. I could not have been happier with the outcome. Emi helped me look at the case realistically and was always prompt in response to my questions. Should I require future representation, it will be with ...

Getting divorced is a very lengthy and horrible process generally speaking. This is why having a lawyer that understands your needs and supports you through the entire cycle is critical. Recently I received notification from Emi that she no longer wanted to represent me, just a short time prio...
Anyone who knows me or has read my other client reviews knows that customer service is my paramount concern. I did withdraw from Mr. Marshall's case because he failed to meet deadlines critical to the outcome of his case. His responsibilities were clearly (and repeatedly) communicated, but he still failed to cooperate — even when afforded months of additional time to do so. In situations like these, attorneys must terminate representation. Attorneys cannot help a client who is unwilling to help himself. Mr. Marshall's review is patently dishonest and illustrates some of the reason I had to withdraw. Despite his claim otherwise, there is no court hearing currently scheduled in his case. It will be months before a trial is set, should one be required. Mr. Marshall has copious time to retain substitute counsel, should he desire to do so. He was not prejudiced in any way by the timing of my withdrawal.

I hired Emi to represent me about 2 weeks after my daughter was born. From day one she was amazing about communicating with me. During a stressful time like determining parenting time, etc., having someone like her being able to answer questions promptly and guide me in the right direction was reassu...
