Divorce

Ben Embry's family law practice is the best in San Diego! His knowledge, professionalism, affordability and his entire staff is unequaled. I recently went through a difficult divorce. Ben and company made it easy on me. My results were amazing! More than I thought was possible! Ben and his staff have... a vast knowledge of family case law and family code and the results showed it. My many thanks to www.embryfamilylaw.com and to Ben, Nicholas, Isik, and Kaylin! Ben is a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS). If you need family law services his firm is one to hire!

Professional and Available

Ben Embry was an amazing lawyer to work with on my bankruptcy case. I was put at ease when I met him for my consultation and he made the entire process painless and easy. He was reassuring, answered any questions I had, and was well prepared when it came to my hearing. His team also made me feel very... comfortable and was also able to assist me when I had any issues. I would highly recommend his law firm to anyone who needs his services.

Experienced and professional family law experts - highly recommended

Ben, Kaylin, and Nick is an amazing team of knowledgeable professionals in family law. Their main focus are their clients and family members wellbeing. They are calm and extremely experienced with custody orders. Not everyone can handle your stress and chaos while going through the process. But this ...team gets the most difficult situation handled with care and full transparency and understanding. Extremely grateful to have Ben, Kaylin, and Nick on my side.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
