About Emily
Biography
I am a Certified Family Law Specialist in California. I have exclusively practiced family law in California since my admission to the California bar in 2009. I specialize in complex family law matters including property division, financial issues, domestic violence, child and spousal support, and child custody, both in dissolution and post-judgment matters.
I also prepare and negotiate premarital, postmarital, and separation agreements. I am a New York native and am also licensed to practice law in New York. I received my B.A., Juris Doctorate and Masters Degree in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis.
I understand that each client, each relationship, and each family is unique.

Fantastic divorce sherpa
Emily helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. She's knowledgeable, accommodating, empathetic, and most of all: patient. I hope I never have to contact her again, but if I do ever have the need I'll be ringing her up straight away.
