Very Helpful!

Emily was very helpful, thorough and responsive as we dealt with my recent divorce. I really appreciated her candor and advice, making a difficult time much easier to deal with.

Step Parent Adoption

Thank you Emily for all you hard work on our step parent adoption. We started our case on our own but decided midway, it was in our best interest to obtain a lawyer. I knew I would have to go with the one who “just felt right” after tons of research and calls, I found Emily. She was able to answer al...l my questions she made me feel really comfortable. In the end she fought for our case and the case was granted in our favor. Our family is now complete with the help of Emily.

Estate Documents Preparation

Emily was well prepared for both of the meetings with myself and my 89 year old mother. Emily prepared updated estate documents for my mother and took the time necessary to explain everything very clearly to her and showed great patience and skill with her. My mother was nervous about the process and... was very pleased with how easy and well it went. We would definitely use her again.

Great lawyer!

Emily was there for me every step of the way through a difficult divorce. She explained everything and made sure that I understood the process. From the financials to the parenting plan, she was there to guide me. She is extremely fair and honest, and looks to find the best possible outcomes in diff...icult situations. I'm glad I had her support and guidance.

Excellence in the field of Family Law

I hired Emily Hays to represent me in a divorce case where there was quite a lot at stake. Emily did an outstanding job. She was prepared in every step of the process, showed complete knowledge of the law, was extremely patient with me during a difficult time, and exceeded my expectations. Becaus...e of all this, I was quite pleased with the conclusion. I highly recommend Emily Hays for any of your family law needs.
