Posted by Autumn | July 19, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Emily Marx went over and above to return my daughter to me.

I am a 26 year old new mother born and raised in Knoxville Tennessee, i had met my baby's father in California in a rehab. i became pregnant, i returned home and had my baby, before my baby turned 6 months old. i came to California, on a "vacation". i stayed with my baby's fathers, mother. i was na...ive and trusted them. little did i know they had planned to take my baby from me and attempt to keep me in California. They alienated me so i could not communicate with my family, they held me hostage in their home, the father and his mother, physically took my child out of my arms. they lied in California court and said awful things about me that were untrue in attempt to prove me unfit. They have money, and hired a lawyer to blindside me, as the grandmother attempted to get guardianship of my child, they kept my child from me for a month, and tied me up in California court. i came to Emily lost , confused and out of hope, a 26 year old new mom, she told me in the beginning she would get my daughter back and get me home; she did exactly what she said she would do. we had 9 court appearances in a month and a evidentiary hearing on jurisdiction. it became a hearing on my character, Emily defended me, and proved California court had no jurisdiction. She was amazing. She is a real person, and she became a very close friend. I had a ridiculously hard case and she fought it until the end. she showed up to court every time we had to and brought her best . i highly recommend her. if you have difficult case, and have lost hope and see no end in sight, she will bring the light. her and her associates became my friends. they are an amazing team and will work hard to do what is right. Her and her associates taught me a lot about myself, and things i needed to learn to grow up and be the mother i know i could be. They are an amazing group of real people. I am lucky to have stumbled upon her. Without her, i would not have my daughter. I have happily returned home to Tennessee with my daughter where we belong, and am enrolling in school and starting the life i want for my child. without Emily and her team i would be lost in California without my daughter i can never thank them enough.

Won Primary custody

I hired Emily as a father who had lost his son due to unfortunate circumstances. Emily fought hard and ultimately won primary custody of my son for me. She understood the practice and knew the steps to take in order to win this kind of case. I would recommend her to anyone who has a difficult case an...d wants cold hard facts. She doesn't sugar coat things and doesn't make false promises. Everything that she promised, she delivered, so thank you.

Father

Emily Marx and her amazing team were empathetic and willing to work my particularly difficult and complex case. Emily worked tirelessly and improvised multiple times to achieve the intended goal. We could not have been more satisfied with the outcome and have the utmost respect and appreciation for e...very employee in this office. I would highly encourage anyone with family law needs to reach out and meet this increadible professional. I felt lost and truly in need of help with an emotional charged situation and Emily Marx’s support and direction made me confident she was the right attorney for me and my family. In hindsight selecting her was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Emergency Ex Parte

I was contacted by Emily C Marx , on the way to court. I was consulted over the phone and drove straight to her office within the hour. I can definitely say everything Emily proposed , she did deliver. I wanted to file an Emergency Ex Parte notice and she made it happen within the very week. I haven'...t been with my 3 month old baby for an entire week. There was a complete mix up on our scheduled day of the notice to be served successfully. From clerk errors to wrong courthouses. With that being said Emily became very passionate about my case and did everything she could to fix errors she did not make. I am very pleased with the outcome of this case and her drive to get to the bottom of tough situations handed to her. I appreciate the hard work and her genuine paralegal team!

Excellent Firm

Emily won a very complicated case for me after it became necessary to fire my first attorney. I am very particular but Emily exceeded every expectation that I had. Her paralegal team was excellent too! I can't thank her enough for all of her help.
