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!

Grateful!

Ben and his team (Nicholas and Marie) are fantastic! From the beginning of my divorce process I felt that I was in good and capable hands with Ben. He is confident and knowledgeable. My questions were always answered quickly and thoroughly. I am most grateful for their compassion and ability to pu...t me at ease during some really difficult times. Thank you Team Embry!!!

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Personable

Ben was able to handle our case in a timely and professional manner. When you're in a stressful situation related to divorce, child custody and domestic violence, Ben provides a steady and reliable hand. Furthermore, he is able to navigate complex parts of the law that may be unfamiliar to most peopl...e. I highly recommend Ben for any issues related to family, domestic violence, divorce, and/or child custody. He is fair, honest, and concerned first and foremost with the well-being of the client.

Professional and Personable!

Ben and his team were absolute rock star legal professionals. Not only did they accommodate my last minute needs for legal support in a variety of areas, they made me feel like I was a priority client. They were responsive, knowledgeable and gave me peace of mind that I was in good hands every step... of the way. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for their services and I know that if I need legal help again Ben will be my first call.

Unprofessional and dishonest

Ben is a relatively new lawyer, and I hired Ben on a Referral, and through my own thorough research. Ben showed up on the day of my hearing completely unprepared, didn't object to anything,and did not present half of the evidence I had, and the evidence he did put forth, was done unprofessionally, ...and without care. When he had his opportunity to discredit the accusation the judge just shut him down, because he had not presented any evidence prior. This guy is a complete amateur. From start to finish, every step of the way was a disaster, and my hunch that this guy was sleeping on the job was true. His knowledge of the law is intermediate, he's lazy, and his office, and paralegal office organizational,and presentation skills, are about on par with a third grader. By the looks of it, it looks like most if not all of his good reviews are from his law school friends, and fraternity friends from college. Do not hire this guy, you have been warned.
