I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney, Vera Livingstone. She has been a true advocate for me during a very difficult and emotional time. Her professionalism and competence, especially when navigating complex and challenging situations, are unmatched. Vera helped me secure primary physical custody of my son, an outcome I am forever grateful for. She also represented me in a trial to validate a transmutation that my son’s father was contesting, and she handled everything with such grace and skill. What stands out the most is Vera’s empathy and compassion. She truly cares about her clients and understands the human side of family law. Knowing she was on my side, guiding me every step of the way, gave me the confidence and peace of mind I needed. Her team is equally impressive—her staff and paralegal are responsive, professional, and always ready to assist. Together, they make a powerhouse team that I trust completely. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I’m forever grateful to Vera for all her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is not only highly capable but also truly cares about you and your family’s well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Vera Livingstone

Ben & his team took care of all my needs, explained everything for me, professional & made me feel comfortable & confident in all aspects. I highly recommend Ben & his team

Vera Livingstone went above and beyond representing me in a custody battle with my ex-wife. My situation seemed a little more complex than the usual with my ex disappearing for 5 years and moving constantly to avoid being held accountable by the court system, then resurfacing with the goal of regaining visitation. Vera immediately dove into my extensive file, making herself familiar with all the back and forth that had happened previously. She gave me sound advice and detailed a clear path on the best way to move forward. Through all the ups and downs, Vera performed brilliantly, always advocating for the best interests of my children. I can’t thank her enough for her hard work and dedicated commitment to my case. If you are looking for a true professional who will be honest with you and fight to ensure your voice is heard, SHE IS THE ONE FOR YOU!

I came to Embry Law with a pretty difficult case that I thought could not be won. Mr. Embry and his ENTIRE team really fought hard for me! They were very understanding with how difficult my situation was. They were straightforward with me throughout my entire case but always so empathetic. Embry Law won my case! I am so grateful and blessed to have gone with Embry Law. Mr. Embry and his entire team know what they are doing! If you are looking for some great lawyers to kick butt… then you’re in the right place!

After going through my divorce, and being put into a position where I had to go back to court, I decided change attorney’s. I interviewed several attorney’s all over San Diego. Embry Family Law was the perfect fit. Ben, and Cecilia were amazing as my lawyers. Nick, Shyanne, and Daniel were always so easy to get ahold of, get advice from, and schedule meetings with. Ben is extremely knowledgeable in negotiating, and representing his client’s interests. Despite how tense divorce can be, he has a very calming communication style, and makes sure to answer questions, and provide clarity. I appreciate everything Embry Family did for me, and if I have to go back again, I will not hesitate to call them again.

I have been with Embry family law since he took my case in late 2020. I had an extremely difficult fight that had little to NO chance of winning. Due to the difficult circumstances of my story and case I was turned down by multiple top attorneys in the area and by the grace of god Ben without hesitation offered to give it a shot. Prior to Ben I had supervised visitations just moved to New Jersey and my son was in California with his father. Thanks to Ben and his team trusting me and taking my case I now have full custody of my son and he was able to move to New Jersey with me. He fights for the underdog and when you communicate he listens and takes everything into consideration. I trust Ben and his team with my life and I am forever grateful. There are amazing and honest family law attorneys out there and Embry family law is one of them. 🤍🤍🤍🤍

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.

Vera Livingstone is the complete package in an attorney. You are guaranteed to get empathy, honesty and professionalism. She provides highly effective services and is passionate for her clients all throughout the duration of the process - as I can personally attest to. She made my life peaceful, stress free and made sure I had no worries about my situation and her quality of services. I totally trust her and highly highly recommend her to future clients. In my humble and honest opinion and experience with her, she’s the best in this business. Totally love, Jerome T.

I had a custody case I needed help with, I had been going to court for years and representing myself. I decided to hire an attorney since I thought I was being bullied by the other parent attorney. I hired Vera and she immediately got familiar with my case, she knew the judge and made herself familiar with the other parent's attorney. Vera was fair and honest! She prepared me for my court date and her assistant and her met me before my court date. I even received a call from her on the weekend to make sure I was ready to go and answer any questions I had before my court date. The price was reasonable, but its priceless for the amount of work she did for me.

I was referred to Ms. Livingstone by a friend of mine who had used her services for a child custody case. She came highly recommended and I reached out in hopes that Ms. Livingstone could help me with my child custody case. Not only did she help my friend who recommended her; get her child, but in my case too, Ms. Livingstone, who had mentioned to me the slim probability of receiving full custody as a single father, also was able to help me in getting full custody of my baby girl. She’s not a miracle worker, it truly is her remarkable work ethic and attention to detail that separates her service from the rest of them. I was in court with her all day and I have to admit some of the performances by other attorneys, (including some who have much higher rates than Ms. Livingstone) we’re so pathetic that I honestly felt bad for their clients having made a financial investment in faith with them all to receive such poor performance when it mattered most. In all honesty I was very concerned about the financial aspect of my case since it was decently pricey… but every single penny paid was soooo absolutely worth it the moment Ms. Livingstone opened her mouth in the court room. Her delivery came with such precise statements of fact and a clear understanding of the law I even saw the judge almost look relieved to hear from her, instead of the frustration that the judge was showing to the attorneys before her. Her demeanor was very professional and presentation was more so. She absolutely did her job but also went above and beyond for me as a client. I will never be grateful enough or be able to express fully the amount of gratitude I have that I was referred to her. She is the best option in my opinion for a custody lawyer. If she tells you to shut up, shut up, if she tells to not do something don’t do it… listen to her counsel and trust her expertise and I’m sure you will find yourself having the same results as I mentioned above… after seeing Ms Livingstone work first hand there is no where else I will go for any family law related case. Choosing Ms. Livingstone for representation IS choosing your child. I can’t recommend enough

Vera Livingstone did an excellent job representing me for a very difficult divorce case. She provided clear guidance and expert advice through this very difficult time. Our case was successful and this was all due to Vera's experience and expert advice through the entire process. She is knowledgeable and very experienced--I highly recommend Vera.

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!
