Strategic, brilliant, relentless attorney. Reliable & compassionate to her clients

Emily represented me and another co-plaintiff in a very lengthy, complex case. Having never been involved in a lawsuit previously, I was apprehensive about the process we were embarking on--especially how it might interfere with my personal or professional life. Emily's willingness to take my ques...tions anytime, however helped ease the anxiety. She established herself early on as someone I could reach when necessary (or expect a prompt return call/email) and who I could trust for straight answers and proper legal advice. From conversations with Emily about the case and witnessing her relentless dedication to it, I got the impression her pursuit of victory was more about righting the injustices I had suffered than about anything else. Her regard for what I had been through and for the countless others still at risk seemed genuine, and center to her motivation. This earned my trust and total confidence in her will to win, which ultimately she did. Of all the things I could say about Emily and my 5-year experience working with her as my attorney, these are the ones I appreciate most.

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.
