Excellent Attorney

Emily is one of the most caring and knowledgeable attorneys. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to help you navigate the difficulties in dealing with divorce, child custody, support, and parenting plan modifications. Emily and her team always made me feel that I was their top priori...ty! I had two previous family law attorneys before her and I am so thankful that I found Hazel & Schwab! Thank you Emily!

Genuine and Accessible

Emily Schwab helped my wife and I with our grandkids. After our first meeting with Emily, we left feeling much more at ease about our situation. She is a skilled attorney in the court room. Her and her staff were accessible to answer our numerous questions. If you are considering working with Emily a...nd her team, I fully endorse them. Our boys are back at home and I am grateful Emily was able to help them.

Highly Recommend for Family Law

I couldn’t ask for a better attorney representing me in my family law case. Emily and her team are so quick to respond to questions and concerns. Always willing to help make sense of the process, and most importantly show compassion. Dealing with a complex family law case has had its major up...s and downs, but having an attorney who is confident, and knows what she’s doing has made the process a little less stressful. Emily is an amazing family law attorney who I would recommend to anyone I know.

She’s the best

We had a couple attorneys before hiring Emily, and thank god we found her! She was the first attorney whom we actually felt she cared about our case. Emily and her firm had by far the best communication ( this was a first for us ) everyone responded quickly and promptly which is such a relief when yo...u don’t understand the court system. She is so kind and sweet and we felt so comfortable having her. She worked hard and always communicated everything so we understood what was happening. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who is attentive, hard working for you, cares and has great communication!

Absolutely loved her! Definitely going to miss her!

Emily helped me and my case more than I could have ever hoped for! She was always on top of things, she supported me and knew my case inside and out! I know that I would not have gotten where I am today without her!

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.
