Capable, skillful, and straightforward

Emma represented me in a challenging situation and got me a very favorable outcome considering the difficult circumstances. She was frank, honest and to-the-point, never telling me what I wanted to hear or wasting my time. I'm glad she was able to represent me. She's extremely capable; as the judge h...imself stated, her work was "excellent lawyering".

AWESOME

Great lawyer! She has helped me for a long time when I was at my lowest to bring me to my highs. If you need anyone that delivers on what they say they're going to do she is that one! I HIGHLY suggest anyone working with her! She gives lawyers a good name.

A Must Hire!

Emma is an outstanding attorney! I was in a serious predicament when I was assaulted with a baseball bat and defended myself through my second amendment right. However the Seattle Police Department arbitrarily took me as the assailant and I was charged. Even with a permit to carry a concealed firearm.... Emma and her outstanding investigator were able to bring forth evidence, statements and strong common sense information to the prosecutor’s office that they did not have a case and their attempts for a conviction were futile. They had already done extreme harm to an upstanding member of the community based on an agenda without following up on simple leads and investigating the complaintants backgrounds for criminal history. If you want a dedicated team of an attorney and investigator who are well respected and seasoned in criminal law, seek out Emma Scanlan.

Emma was outstanding!

Emma was great from our first meeting. She gathered all all the details of my case without being judgmental and was real honest about my options. She worked hard at negotiating the best outcome for me while still being realistic about the circumstances of my case. Her knowledge of the system and ...the respect she has earned from people within the system certainly helped my cause. She told me early on that she will always prepare me for things to come, and that there would be no surprises and she was true to her word. I don't plan to ever need an attorney again, but I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone I know needing representation.

Emma Scanlan is the best

I highly recommend Emma Scanlan. I was facing 5 to 10 years in prison, and this matter resolved with me being sentenced to 6 months in work release. Ms. Scanlan worked my case with care and thoroughly explained every option to me. Ms. Scanlan was courteous and professional, and her communication was... consistent and timely. I felt at ease during the whole process because I was confident that Ms. Scanlan was working hard on my behalf. I was very happy with the outcome of my case and you will be as well if you hire Ms. Scanlan.
