Divorce and Separation 25%

Divorce or separation can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life for many individuals. Hiring a legal professional that specializes in this area is an efficient way to not only remove the X factor of emotion, but to also help come to the most favorable conclusion for everyone involved. Legal professionals can provide you with valuable assistance in terms of factors like alimony, child support, property settlements and beyond, guaranteeing that your rights are protected.

Family 25%

When people think of legal professionals who specialize in family law, they most often call to mind images of situations involving divorce and separation. While this is and will always be an important part of what these lawyers do, they can also provide valuable assistance in a wide range of other areas including but not limited to things like paternity testing, navigating the process of adoption (or surrogacy), civil unions, domestic partnerships, general marriage issues and more.

Child Custody 15%

The divorce and separation process is already difficult, to say nothing of how complicated things can become if a child is involved. Enlisting the assistance of a legal professional throughout this difficult time is a perfect way to guarantee that the rights, the health and the ultimate well-being of any children in question are protected to the fullest extent of the law.

Child Support 15%

In addition to helping make sure the child has a safe place to live, it's always important to guarantee that children are protected from a financial perspective. Hiring a legal professional to assist with child support can not only streamline the process, but will also yield the most important benefit of all: making sure that any children involved in a divorce or separation are protected at all costs.

Best attorney!

Just from the initial phone consultation, I knew Emily was the right fit for me. Every part of a divorce process is tough; I can't stress enough how important it is to have outstanding representation. Emily always reassured me she was there for me. She also made sure to move along the process when it... started to lag a bit. Emily is always straight forward as well. No BS, ever! She is realistic about what the client wants versus what is possible/doable. She really knows what she is talking about. If you are new to this process, which I most definitely was, it's nice to know there are always options. Emily is a great guiding source and very thorough when explaining these options, possible outcomes, etc. Thank you for everything Emily! I couldn't have gone through this process without you.

The best divorce lawyer

Emily and I met during a very difficult time in my life and I am very fortunate to have met her when I did. When she and I met, I was embroiled in a very difficult divorce. A divorce that involved domestic violence, division of assets and many other sensitive areas. Words cannot describe how grea...t Emily was to my family, friends and especially me. She gave me the feeling that she is available anytime. Whenever I called her it never felt rushed and she was always attentive. She was able to see through the dishonesty of the other party and was able to use their "evidence" against them. Just wow! Her professionalism, attention to detail and ability to plan ahead of time was great. During the consultation we put together a strategy on how to approach the divorce. She was always two to three steps ahead of the other attorneys which helped us win the case. All her of planning is very thorough, well thought through and had a purpose. She was my guardian during such a difficult time and I cannot thank her for everything that she did. Emily, if you are reading this, thank you for everything! I have the utmost respect for you and I truly appreciate everything that you did for me.

Prenup lifesaver!

I reached out to Emily regarding my prenuptial agreement. The state of CA requires each party to have their own representation and since my fiancé had the prenup drafted, I needed serious guidance. Emily made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. From consult to completion I knew ...exactly why she came highly recommended from one of my friends. She was thorough and took the time to explain in great detail what revisions she recommended in order to protect me. So thankful I chose to go this route. Thank you, Emily Rubenstein!

Excellent Lawyer

When I first spoke with Emily, I had just been hit with a year long restraining order against my new born son and his mother. Feeling depressed and desperate I reached out to Emily for help. She was very caring and sympathetic to my situation. Emily has a way of making you feel very comfortable while... she is speaking with you. I believe this is due to how intelligent and confident she comes off. I remember feeling like everything was going to be just fine after my first time speaking with her. We put together a game plan during our first meeting and executed it throughout the next couple of months. When the whole court process was over with, the restraining order was dissolved and I received 50/50 cusotdy of my son. Emily helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and she can do the same for you. I highly recommend her to any fathers who feel like they have been treated unfairly by the court system.
