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.

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.

Great Lawyer!

Emily was an amazing asset to me in the process of formalizing a parenting plan. She clearly explained all my options and made sure I understood the possible outcomes of each one. I would not have been able to successfully navigate the legal system without a supportive and understanding lawyer like... her!

Making a bad situation bearable

Emily was amazing in helping me through my divorce. She was upfront and honest about what to expect. She gave me very good advice on how to speed things and keeping it as peaceful as possible. She guided me and helped me avoid some mistakes that could have cost me a lot more. Thank you so much!

Great attorney to have!

Emily helped me through an ugly divorce that I was not sure on how to handle! She is patient and listens to the needs you express. She is strong willed and a fighter. Emily will get the job done. I won my divorce case. I will use Emily every single time!
