Best attorneys!

This is the 3rd law firm I've had to work with to get through my divorce because the first 2 were slowing down the process and just taking money. Alex has been a lifesaver, no-nonsense, get it done, very communicative and just gets the process. I would highly recommend Hepner & Pagan, LLP. They got... me over the finish line and restored my sanity!

Knows Her Stuff

I'm an attorney with little knowledge of the family law arena - my primary focus is on trusts and estates. I contacted Emily regarding a very esoteric and research-sensitive divorce/death issue that had been sitting on my desk for a while (read: I was avoiding it), figuring I could glean some insigh...t as to where I should begin my research. Emily didn't just shed some light - she solved the matter entirely, pointing a specific case on point that will justify my position to a T. She was responsive, helpful, and most of all, patient - uncommon traits for an attorney. While my professional experience with Emily may be limited, I can say without hesitation that she has a sharp family law mind - as my title says, she knows her stuff. Coupled with her pleasant disposition, I can't imagine she would be anything less than a fantastic advocate for any client requiring her services. I recommend her without hesitation.

A light at the end of a tunnel

Emily was exceptional and superb in every way possible throughout this journey. She was upfront and honest from very beginning to the end off my case. She showed great communication skills, amazing patience and care making me feel like my case was always a top priority. Going out of her way time and ...time again during the past year to guide and help me as a foresightful intelligent attorney with a great game plan and also an insightful friend when I needed one. Five stars all the way and I would highly recommend her.

The best!

Emily Hepner is an excellent attorney. I live in San Diego, Ca. and Emily was great at communicating with me the process and status of my case. I knew Emily was the best attorney to handle my case. Going to a process like this can be very stressful and emotionally draining but Emily always gave me re...assurance that everything was going to fine. She is so easy to talk to and funny. She has a sweet demeanor but is tough as nails in court.

Great Results if you hire Emily as your attorney on your Divorce Case or any legal Case!

I hired Emily for my divorce case and through our divorce she and her staff was always there for any questions or advice to me. If anybody going through a marital divorce case if not hiring Emily and her firm as the attorney it would be a costly mistake as you go through your divorce proceedings, ver...y knowledgeable and knows the proper which can help your case. Couldn’t have been more satisfaid and greatful for all the hardwork and the results Emily was to obtain in my divorce case. Thank you too Emily and her staff, cheers!
