Helped with a family matter

Emilia was very helpful with a family matter where harassment was alleged. She dealt with it expertly and competently. I would definitely have her represent us again should the need arise.

Awesome Lawyer!

I was beginning to lose hope in my case because of prior experience with lawyers treating me condescendingly when I felt I had a strong case. I sought out legal help from Emiliza and found her supportive, knowledgeable and responsive. Emiliza is very passionate and enthusiastic about her profession, ...its apparent that she enjoys diving deep in cases for her clients. She's been highly supportive and patient with me throughout the legal process, I 100% would choose her again. Highly recommend.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
