Emi and Jay are incredible attorneys. I have never met two people who are as devoted as they are. Every question I had was answered. They are professional, prompt, but most importantly they care! Emi is incredibly hard-working and dedicated! She worked hand in hand with me, making sure each question I had was answered. My paperwork was always filed in a timely manner and she knew exactly how to handle every situation. Emi was attentive to all my needs and never made me feel bad for contacting her with questions. She always made sure to answer any I had. She is amazing!! I can’t say enough great things about Jay. From the first email to now I’ve seen his kindness. The best part about Jay is how realistic he is. He never overpromises and he is was open with me about every possible outcome. He let me know which things were reasonable and which were not. He works really hard and he takes his job and clients seriously. I have never trusted two people more in my life and I’m incredibly thankful that I had these two as my attorneys! I can’t rave enough, honestly.

I have decided on work with Erena based on highly favorable reviews on Yelp and Google Reviews sites. From my own experience, Erena cares so much about her clients, treats them really well, and helps them from teh very beginning to the end. She is very responsive and answers your texts, phone calls, and emails immediately including over the weekends as well as at nights. She is highly competent in her field, she knows many USCIS officers, and advises / guides to best of her ability. Once you start working with her, you feel in good hands which helps you immensely in these stressful times. Overall, I strongly recommend this lawyer and I personally am happy that I got to work with her on my case. She is the best I have worked with in the Phoenix area.

My experience with Emi and Jay exceeded my expectations. My case was a high conflict child custody case in which Emi and Jay provided prompt answers to any questions, helped me view my case realistically and fought for the best outcome with poise and detailed accuracy. I would highly recommend their firm as their level of knowledge and professionalism is second to none. Thank you for making such an unpleasant experience manageable with all your support. I should add that my ex no longer wants to engage in any child custody issues in court as he knows who I have on my side. Thank you for all you do!

Emi was nothing short of amazing in guiding me thru one of the worst and stressful experiences in my life! She came into my custody battle very late on (my fault) and worked so hard on it! She didn’t hesitate to answer any questions I had at any point and responded quickly and trust me mine wasn’t an easy one! She settled my case completely in my favor and didn’t stop until I was happy! Emi you are truly amazing at what you do! I cannot express how thankful I was to have Emi represent me! If I ever need to go thru this again you bet I would call Emi right back! She is truly amazing!

Getting divorced is a very lengthy and horrible process generally speaking. This is why having a lawyer that understands your needs and supports you through the entire cycle is critical. Recently I received notification from Emi Koyama that she no longer wanted to represent me, just a short time prior to needing her the most – in court. Not only was the timing an issue, but the way my case was dismissed by her without regard for my personal situation or circumstances was very disappointing. I paid to have proper representation but most of all, to have someone to depend on when needed. - I obviously never received it.

Erena Baybik, your integrity and genuine care made this happen (my citizenship application approved today). Erena Baybik is passionate about what she does, too honest, composed, very confident of what she does, with highest level of integrity. I couldn't think of any best lawyer in Arizona like her, she will be there for you to the end. Go for her don't look any further and enjoy the "FREE CONSULTATION" which will leave you with a smile at the end. Thank you, thank you, thank you, and forever thank you.

I've had the pleasure of retaining Hall Underwood twice (originally only for temporary orders in 2015, then again for the rest of my divorce in 2016). Words really cannot express how grateful I am for all the effort Jay and his colleagues put in to my case, because everything I've been fighting for over the past year (my kids and their future), he fought just as hard for them on his end as counsel. After the temporary orders matter settled, I ended up retaining Jay and his firm again a few months later after unsuccessfully trying to settle the rest of the issues. Opposing counsel was extremely dodgy and refused to provide mandatory discovery for months even after I retained them. They were calm and professional dealing with my ex's unreasonably difficult attorney and eventually forced them to hand over everything we needed. The most impressive part of Jay's performance was that he noticed a subtle, yet significant defect in the wording of the proposed parenting plan we received and capitalized on it, which allowed me to place the children in any school in the valley with zero restrictions and ultimately place them in the best school possible (one of the things that is EXTREMELY important to me). Needless to say, my ex wasn't very happy about that, and her attorney fought pretty hard to try to save face in the wake of his devastating blunder. He tried to back out of the agreements that we had made that were not yet binding, tried to conduct an untimely noticed and frivolous deposition, tried to make misleading arguments so I'd be the one to have to pay child support, tried rearrange the parenting time schedule, and continually threatend an award of attorney's fees if we didn't give in to his demands. Naturally, Jay knew it was all just an act and didn't fall for it. Eventually, after all the discovery was completed, Jay gave him an ultimatum. Either this case settles, or we go to trial and we'll almost certainly collect an award of attorney's fees from having to enforce the parenting plan we agreed to (which was binding pursuant to Rule 69). Needless to say, they chose the former. I really couldn't be happier with the results of my case. Not only did I get almost exactly what I wanted out of my divorce, but also my fees for the entire case were only about one-third (1/3) of what my ex paid for her attorney (hers was hourly), who has been practicing for over 30 years, and we still came out slightly ahead. I think that speaks to how amazing Jay and his colleagues are in their profession. Having dealt with a dozen or so other attorneys in my divorce, Jay and his firm is the only law firm I'll ever recommend to family and friends.

Both my sister and I have used Erena Baybik as our immigration attorney over the years and we have loved our experience with her. She is very professional, organized, and timely. She is very easy to talk to and she makes such a complicated case very easy to understand. She has a lot of integrity and I put my full trust in her as my attorney. I highly recommend her!

Very professional, was always available to answer all my questions.

I hired Hall Underwood to represent me during my divorce and couldn't be happier with the results. My ex-wife was a relentless gold digger who tried to use my children to leverage more money from me. Her attorney wanted to fight about everything and constantly asked for ungodly sums of money in attorney's fees and alimony. My attorney shut her down in a hurry and achieved an outcome that I didn't even think was possible when we started the process. If you're looking for a "Scottsdale divorce attorney" because you have a contentious divorce and want an aggressive lawyer, you need to contact Hall Underwood. I've recommended Jay Hall and his other attorneys to everyone I know.
