Blessed to have her on my side.

This personal touch made me feel valued as a client and instilled a sense of confidence in her abilities. Throughout the years, Emily Marx consistently went above and beyond to advocate for the best interests of my two daughters. She exhibited exceptional expertise in family law matters, providing me with expert guidance and advice every step of the way. Her extensive knowledge of the legal system, combined with her sharp analytical skills, allowed her to develop a strategic plan that ultimately led to a successful outcome. What impressed me the most about attorney, Emily Marx was her unwavering commitment to my case. She invested an enormous amount of time and effort, always promptly responding to my inquiries and ensuring that I was well-informed about the progress of my case.

We Love, Dear Emily

When our granddaughter was 3 years old her mother decided we could no longer see her. Our son was not married to the mother. Emily walked us through a 3 year-long court battle and a 6-day trial, with grace, support, loving kindness and a deeply sincere wish to prevail--which we did, completely! T...he process was long and arduous. One of Emily's many talents is writing and studying case law, these two factors won our case outright. My husband, our son, and I, will be indebted to Emily for the rest of our lives--because our son has an extraordinary relationship with his daughter and we share the joy of her company frequently, something we dreamed about for over 3 years when she was removed from our lives. Our case was complex, there were numerous court dates, culminating in a very long trial, which Emily litigated professionally, honestly and expertly. She's one in a million attorneys.

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.

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.
