He talked me out of hiring him for bankruptcy

This man is honest. I met with him to file a bankruptcy and he explained to me why it was not the right option for my circumstances. He spent an hour giving me advice about how to my financial debt without hiring him. Not many like this lawyer.

Honest and knowledgeable

Mr. Emmons is very knowledgeable with family law. He was able to quickly help our family obtain guardianship of my niece and nephew when a family emergency came up. He is a caring guy and very trustworthy. Thank you Mr. Emmons!

Not your typical family law attorney

Very satisfied with the result Mr. Emmons obtained for me. Mr. Emmons was my second attorney in my custody case after I fired another local lawyer who took my retainer but never my calls. From the outset, Mr. Emmons was very direct about what kind of outcome I could expect. I appreciated his straight... talk. When we got to court, we did even better than I expected. In the final days leading up to our hearing, Mr. Emmons took every anxious call of mine and put my mind at ease. He's a good guy who understands how hard it is to stay calm when your children's lives are at stake. I was a nervous wreck and he was a calm voice of encouragement. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs a steady and experienced lawyer for a custody case.

Mr. Emmons saved my family

My income went down two years ago when I lost my job. My new job didnt pay as good and my bills were too high to pay off. When I got a forclosure letter I went to Mr. Emmons to see if there was anything I could do besides move in with my parents and loose the house. Mr. Emmons saved my house and got ...rid of all the credit card bills I couldnt pay off with my new job. He said he wished I would of seen him when I changed jobs so I could of gotten out of debt sooner. My familys doing great now and we would of had to move if it wasnt for Mr. Emmons. He talked to me about why bankrupcy would help me and everything he said was what happened. I am very thankful I found an honest lawyer to help me and my family.

Disappointed

I hire Mr. Emmons to represent me in a small court. I could have did what he did and save money. He negotiated a deal that he or I could have did and not went to a trail. Mr. Emmons would have been paid less so he said he would met me in court. He put up no defense so I was forced to take his negotia...ted deal. And to put icing on the cake he was talking with the debt collection agency after court about working for them. I would never use him or recommend him again.
