Theo James Emison III

Our experience with Theo Emison of Veen Firm Trial Law, was nothing short of outstanding. Theo handled our case with maximum professionalism, empathy and care. It was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities, but Theo’s grasp of detail, his strategic thinking and his ability to pla...n ahead helped us achieve a favorable outcome. Theo was very straight forward about the possible outcomes, took the time to explain all the documents and was very patient with our numerous questions. Above all the professional services, his ability to personally connect to each member of our family has been priceless. We are profoundly grateful for his services and highly recommend Theo for cases involving personal injury, wrongful death and medical malpractice.

I contacted many lawyers about my personal injury case, which was not a straightforward one in terms of routes to settlement. Theo took the time to consider my case, hire an independent investigator to obtain witness statements, and used this evidence to decide that he would take on my case. Once tak...ing the case, Theo and his team does a good job of being responsive, keeping you in the loop, discussing the thinking behind the next steps to take and allowing the client to weigh in. He sets fair and realistic expectations that depend on how the case evolves, and it's clear that Theo has a depth of experience. We were able to obtain a reasonable settlement from a rather tricky case.

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Theo, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his unwavering dedication, compassion, and belief in justice. After being turned down by nearly 30 attorneys and told repeatedly that pursuing my father’s case was pointless, I was on the verge of giving up. ...Hospitals denied any wrongdoing, and others dismissed the case as unwinnable. But Attorney Theo was different. From the moment he took on the case, he believed in the truth and the fight for justice. Without asking for anything in return, he stood by my side when no one else would, giving me hope when I felt most defeated. His kindness and understanding, paired with his expertise, proved to be exactly what I needed. In the end we won the case. Attorney Theo isn’t just an extraordinary lawyer; he’s a true advocate for people like me—ordinary individuals fighting for justice in the face of overwhelming odds. His dedication brought justice to my family, and I truly believe he was an instrument sent to help in our darkest hour. He restored my faith in the legal system and in the power of good people making a difference. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you with heart and skill, look no further than Attorney Theo. I am confident that he will continue to help many others find justice and peace, just as he did for my family. Thank you, Theo, for being a beacon of hope and for proving that justice isn’t only for the wealthy, but for anyone brave enough to seek it. With deepest appreciation, Harvin

My husband and I were very fortunate to have met Theo Emison and have him represent us in a medical malpractice case. He is not only knowledgeable and an expert in his field, but is very thorough, timely in his responses to questions that we asked, accommodating, caring, and compassionate as well. We... felt well cared for by Theo during our depositions with the opposing counsel. He made a very painful situation more bearable and our lives  less stressful. Theo was able to get us a good settlement, and avoid litigation as well! We can’t express our gratitude enough for everything he did for us. It was a pleasure meeting and working with him.

Theo represented our family in a lawsuit against the City and County of SF. It was an emotional case as it involved the death of our father. From beginning to end, Theo demonstrated an extraordinary amount of compassion, professionalism and competence that made us feel like we were in very good hands.... He earned our complete trust by handling our questions, concerns and doubts with patience and honest information. He guided us through an extremely difficult process with poise and grace. We felt that he engaged us in a true partnership to meet our goals of holding CCSF accountable and enacting policy change at CCSF to minimize the chance that a similar harm would come to other citizens of SF in the future. We highly recommend Theo and his team.
