Great Lawyer

Emily was assigned to my case and boy was I lucky for that. She helped tell me about the law, my case, and how to get ahead on the other side. She was not afraid to tell it like it is even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear. This was probably the only way that I won my case, doing what she mapped o...ut for me. Who knows what could have happened if not for Emily's help.

Great Lawyer

She is very knowledgeable and has a way to putting me at ease while my world was crushing down on me! I felt confident in her ability and knowledge. She responded quickly and if she was not sure of the answer to my question, she would always get back to me within that day or the next day. She is fai...r, just, and extremely professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a lawyer that will fight for you!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
