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.

I am a licensed attorney who hired Vera to handle my own custody move-away case based on a referral from a friend. By the time Vera became involved, I had already received rulings that made my chances of prevailing at trial pretty slim. This did not deter Vera. She took my case, gave me hope, and showed me so much compassion. Vera spent the time to get up to speed, she made sense of all the evidence, and took her time getting to know me and the issues in the case. She was a fierce advocate in court, not only for me, but also for what was in the best interest of my son. She made sure my voice was heard. I ultimately prevailed at trial because of Vera's knowledge, skill, and experience in family law. I highly recommend Vera and owe her a great debt for what she was able to achieve for me and my son. As a lawyer myself and having met many lawyers, I feel confident in saying: you simply will not find a more competent and compassionate lawyer than Vera.

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!

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.

She handled my dissolution case with class. She allowed me to be free of worries and stress by dealing with all the paperwork. She is truly worth her weight in gold. She is an excellent lawyer, and pushes for what is best for you and family. Amazing work and amazing legal team. Thank-you!

Extremely happy with Vera's work. She has helped so much and has always been nice and polite throughout my cases.

I hired Vera to deal with a very difficult situation that arose in my private life. From the beginning, I could tell that she had the necessary experience and toughness to deal with my case. At the same time, she was compassionate about what I was going through which really helped me to recover from a traumatic personal situation. I intend to hire her again next year to take care of another family law issue. Can’t recommend her highly enough.

Vera is very experienced. It's hard to find a lawyer like her! I love her court presentations! She's pleasant and direct to the point. I provided her with lots of information, but she carefully selects her talking points. I can tell that the judge has a lot of respect for her and for her words. I can't speak highly enough for Vera. She is also very hardworking, professional, caring and honest! She has a professional team: Mr. Barnes is professional and helpful!

I can honestly say this firm was amazing with billing and did not try to take all my money as most firms do. Nicholas is my favorite person there, he is so patient and understanding especially with all the stress that comes with this process and really listens to your concerns. Ben Embry was on my case and is a parent as well so he gets it. All my phone calls and emails were answered within a timely manner and nobody ever gave me the run around.
