Highly Recommend Emily

I have retained Emily's services on numerous occasions since 2017. She has provided sound and efficient legal advice and representation over the course of an unforeseen lengthy divorce and custody battle. During what can feel like the darkest and most trying time of your life, Emily provides hope. On...e of her greatest qualities is her ability to truly care for her clients. She gets to know you, your story, and genuinely takes your case to heart. She is deeply invested in the outcome. In preparation she is thorough, punctual, and strategic in her argument. In court, she is quick on her feet, aggressive, knowledgeable, and prepared. I cannot recommend or sing her praises enough. Based upon my experience with Emily and the outcomes of my proceedings, multiple people in my circle have since sought her services, hopeful for a similar situation and the chance to be represented by such a competent and dedicated attorney. She is real. She provides options, practical advice, and odds. Unlike other, perhaps many, family law firms, Emily does not seek to draw out litigation for monetary benefit. You can be confident the strategy she sets forth for your case is in your and your family's best interest. She is an excellent attorney!

Amazing

Mrs. Bray has been professional, honest, punctual and time sensitive on my case. When I had a question, she would either return my call or email within the same day. She guided me on my divorce and answered all my questions. She would provide straightforward answers and was always honest with me. She... always filed my paperwork in a timely manner. She is respected among her colleagues and the Court. I highly recommend her.

Excellent Attorney

I highly recommend Emily Bray - She is a knowledgeable, professional, determined, and responsive attorney. There are some in family law that take advantage of people when they are in a vulnerable situation, not Emily, in my experience, she is ethical, fair and compassionate. I have found that she hel...ps you to navigate the processes, explains options that fit your specific situation and case. She’s organized and strategic in court, and respected by her peers. She listens to you and takes the time to respectfully communicate and plan, basing her recommendations on her knowledge and experience, and more importantly she truly cares about her clients. Thank you Emily - for taking the time to do all you do!

Highly Recommend!

Emily is by far the best family attorney I have ever used!She is very smart, kind, and has a great sense of humor, but when it comes to being in the courtroom she is well prepared and ready to fight for you. She knows the law very well and let’s you know what you should expect and what’s fair if rea...ching too far for something. Emily is well known and respected by her fellow peers. The few times we entered the court building together the Sheriff’s and other attorneys always had something to say to her. Pretty much to the effect of “Watch out everyone, she’s in the building to handle some business!” Aside from being well respected, she has extensive knowledge of the North County judges/commissioners. Depending on who you might get assigned to your case, Emily comes up with a game plan for that respective judge/commissioner. I read through the yelp reviews and noticed a common theme of 5 star ratings and nothing but rave reviews about Emily. For me and many others it sounds - money well spent in hiring Emily! She was upfront with all her costs and there were never any surprises. I highly recommend Emily to represent anyone looking for a truly professional family law attorney!

Fantastic lawyer and great person!

Emily worked diligently to defend me. My divorce was exceptionally ugly after being married for over 20 years. She kept me in the loop on everything that was happening, on everything to expect, and what possible outcomes may happen. She was always there for me, supported me through the process, and ...helped me keep my head on straight. She fought hard for me and demonstrated her willingness to fight for me in the court room. She is an excellent lawyer and an excellent person. I could not have hired a better attorney!
