Amazing lawyer
Emily handled my DUI case, and I could not be more pleased. She went above and beyond handling everything, giving me clear instructions on what to do next, and she was never more than a phone call away. She made the whole experience as low-stress as possible and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Excellent attorney
I came to Shaaya Law Group to deal with a difficult legal situation. Emily immediately put me at ease and spent the time necessary answering all of my endless questions. She was professional, sharp, fast, an aggressive advocate and yet compassionate towards me. She got me through such a tough time and I am forever grateful to her. I have already recommended her to a friend of mine.
