Posted by Scott | July 23, 2015 | Business

Most experienced, and trustworthy attorney I have ever had the honor of working with

My partners and I were involved in a highly politicized business legal matter and there was a huge amount of money being thrown at lobbyists from the other side. We had previously worked with 2 other law firms on the matter but they were not getting us any results and were padding their bills to the... extreme. We ended up hiring Mr. Emblidge based on his experience working for and against Municipalities. This ended up being the best business decision we made with our CA businesses. Mr. Emblidge stuck out his neck for us, even going to have a face to face meeting with the California AG to discuss our matter. I was initially skeptical of his pricing because his hourly fees were higher than the other attorneys we worked with, but he literally billed us for less than half the hours the cheaper attorneys billed for, and his work was better so the total actually ended up being less! You will not find a finer and more honest attorney for civil matters anywhere in the US, and I have worked with approx. 25 attorneys all over the Country.

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.
