My wife and I decided that it was time to file for shared custody of my son since there was no custody order in place after doing whatever my sons mother wanted for 3 years just to avoid conflict, I was planning to represent my self but since my sons mother decided to get a lawyer so did I in order to have a better advocate for my self, the staff is extremely friendly, Ben and his team represented us to the best of their ability through the course of almost 11 months, this was dragged on longer then expected due to my sons mother being difficult. There was a time were we were misrepresented by Cecelia (were she had to substitute for Ben) I believe it was mis understanding during our Ex Parte , luckily we were following our temporary court order at the time it did not affect anything my sons mother wanted to stop us from leaving the state of California on a roadtrip, its understandably that she probably did not have enough time to review our file do to it being an ex parte, the only other situation was where we were supposed to resubmit documentation and my wife had to reach out to them on Thursday October 5th to find out the deadline was Monday October 9th, luckily we did submit on time but it was a little annoying they weren't more on top of it since we worked during the times they were open and my wife had to help me with all the documents while she was on her break at work. But even if we didn't file on time, I don't think that it would have made any difference due to the Court its self since there was no consequence for the other party not filling all the documents necessary. Besides that one time they were very timely with reaching out for all documentation. But though out almost a whole year thous are the only "mistakes". I do not believe that I couldn't have better represented my self due to my shy nature, this was defiantly a learning experience and help my wife and I learn what rights I have with my son. Its defiantly a little more pricy then other attorneys buy you defiantly get what you pay for, and in this case it was a good thing. Thank you very much to the WHOLE team.

Matt was referred to us by a friend and Matt did a great job. Matt is easy to communicate with and he is to the point does not waste time. He was always available to answer questions and give us updates. I am very happy with result of the case.

My wife and I are highly appreciative of Ben and his entire team. They assisted us with a Move-Away order for my step daughter to move out of state with me, along with the Termination of Rights and Adoption of her. It was a long and arduous process being in the military and re-stationed outside of California throughout the process. To have to work with the California court from across the country was a nightmare but Ben and his Team helped us along the way and I couldn't be happier that we were able to accomplish it all. Thank you so much for the support and assistance throughout everything!

Mr. Blancato assisted me through a 4+ year battle in a worker's comp case. From day one, when he listened to me with kindness and an open mind, I felt I could trust his commitment to helping me and rely on his counseling. Mr. Blancato indeed proved to be extremely competent, patient, understanding with me but also demanding with the opposite party. In addition, Mr. Blancato responds to emailed questions within minutes, literally. He is an outstanding professional and a genuinely decent human being who goes well above and beyond duty to take care of an insignificant client like me with the utmost professionalism and courtesy. When we finally had to settle, I trusted it was a reasonable outcome. I recommend Mr. Blancato unconditionally and am grateful he accepted to take my case.

This is a family law firm you want. They are transparent while being both personable, and reasonable with your needs.

This is the best law firm I have ever worked with. When I first started out with them it was just Ben and Nicholas that I remember. I had to go back to them and he had grown and i got the pleasure of working with cecila and she has been amazing to me. His entire staff has.but I have worked very closely with cecila on my case and I couldn’t be more thankful for her kind fullness her patience and care. There’s a lot I didn’t always understand and she stood by me the whole way. I love this law firm so much.. i highly recommend them.. a big thank you to them all. Especially the three who have worked close with me. Again thank you Ben, cecila, and Nicholas so much.

This firm came highly recommended by another highly reputable firm. My experience with Matt Blancato and David Hiden has been exceptional. They won our case with the highest possible settlement. They took such care and answered every question and email thoroughly and promptly. I am grateful for their service and trust them completely.

It had been a long two years of waiting and frustrations in the hands of my previous lawyer to get the legal closure I needed to move forward with my post-divorce life. As anyone going through divorce knows, nothing about it is easy or enjoyable ... that is until I met Nicholas Montaño. As office manager and head paralegal at Embry Family Law, Nicholas took my call and ran with it. From the get-go, I felt supported and that I was in capable hands. Within a few weeks, I was happily divorced and all was finalized, even sooner than the court date assigned to my case. Throughout our [thankfully] short time working together, he showed compassion, empathy, and understanding. And I especially appreciated his effective and efficient communication, and willingness to go above and beyond with sensitivity to time. Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you.

Ben is a true fighter for what is right in peoples lives. He stands up for the underdog. He remembers you and the details of your story, (which is very hard to find in an attorney). All of his team members converse with him and each other, about your issues, so that you have an entire team behind you. You’ll never feel alone. They have always returned my emails in minutes. Nick, the office manager, is wonderfully kind and warm, and makes you feel like part of the Embry family. This team can help you. I don’t know where I’d be with out them.

Mr. Embry and his entire team are amazing. Divorce and custody are difficult and stressful to process and navigate and the Embry Family Law team has always been responsive, helpful, and reassuring. I have worked with Mr. Embry and his team multiple times now for different issues and I have always felt that they had my best interest at heart. Highly recommend!

I was thoroughly helped with my claim by Matt and he helped me get through the horrible ordeal I endured these past 6 months. I am overjoyed from the end results. I would give my utmost faith in him . Thank you again for helping me and my family get through all the turmoil we faced .

As a father of 3, going through a divorce after 22years here in SD, I could not have asked for better representation than I received from Ben Embry and team (Cecilia, Issac, Nicholas). I retained custody of my children, had alimony discharged and am happily moving on with our lives. This would not have been possible without the straight forward, prompt and committed nature of this Firm. My great thankfulness and appreciation to Ben and team for their hard work and dedication to making clients feel like they are in good hands.
