Estate Planning

Emily listened to our complex story and understood what we needed. She developed a trust, advance directives and wills for us that will allow for helpful and fair passing on of assets. We feel well guided and we feel great relief to have it completed.

Wills and adoption

Fantastic people that really new there stuff and went above and beyond to serve us. We got our wills done and Emily went through all the legal hoops for me to adopt my wife's son! I will go to them again for my legal needs in the future.

I worked with Emily Rose restating and updating my trust, powers of attorney, healthcare directives etc. She was great to work with and I'd recommend her.

Making a hard thing easy

Emily was phenomenal in preparing our wills and advanced directives. Talking about difficult subjects such as death were made easier to swallow with her logic and demeanor. We feel confident that we have all of our bases covered and our loved ones will have an easier time handling our eventual passin...g.

Posted by John | May 19, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

Just the person I needed

I was actually referred to Emily Rose and her team by another lawyer due to her specific experience with third parent adoptions. I had been interested for many years in adopting an adult stepson from a former marriage. Since he is blessed with two terrific birth parents already, the matter was sligh...tly out of the referring lawyer's wheelhouse. Not so for Emily. She explained the process clearly and prepared the necessary filings and consents, very quickly and efficiently. When revisions revisions to documents were required by the specific circumstances involved, her responses were very timely. In addition, Emily ws pleasant and a genuine pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

Litigation lawyer | Feb 01

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Ms. Mowrey is simply one of the best. Her reputation proceeds her in this community because her work speaks for itself. She is consistent, ethical (as well as moral), hard working, and expects the best from herself at all times. If she finds herself without an answer to an issue, she seeks it from respected colleagues and research instead of ever risking her clients’ positions. Her word is her bond. I have been honored to know her for over 9 years now, and I have watched her from a relative newcomer on the legal scene in Whatcom County to a genuine force to be reckoned with by any party, yet never underhanded or deceptive. I have the utmost respect for how she practices law and who she is as a person."

"Emily's a delightful young woman and an attorney who cares deeply about about various causes. She has served as president of Whatcom Women's Lawyers. She's passionate about LGBT issues. Her areas of practice are broad and diverse. She does bankruptcy, estate planning, probate, business and contract law, real estate and even certain types of family law. Most important of all, she's a good person. I always enjoy crossing paths with Emily and I have no doubt she serves her clients with the same care and passion she brings to the practice of law itself."
