Dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer who is an excellent listener and communicator
“She has returned my phone calls quickly and she is an excellent listener! She knows the law so well that I am very pleased with the results!”
2
Fights passionately for her clients and stands up for them in court
“Even when all the prosecutors and social workers were all against me, and said there's no hope you just got to give it up, Emily was in my corner!”
3
Guides and supports clients through difficult legal situations
“Emily took the time to sit down and just guide me through everything. We've been through so much together, I had to do treatment and had a few issues, but she stood up for me in court and was a real fighter.”
Cons
1
Inconsistent advice and lack of clear communication with the client
“to make a very long story short, I'll start by saying that from the very first meeting with Emily, she was already ready to be done with my case, it was always some really weird conversation with her about how I should do one thing this way then literally the next week her saying 'ok nevermind let's go about it this way' and as soon as I would start doing something she had recommended, bam 'now let's do it the original way' I mean this kept up the entire 6 plus months I had her for my attorney.”
2
Failure to adequately prepare for and represent the client in court
“the most disturbing of it all was when my termination trial was fastly approaching, she told me over and over that I did not need to appear for the trial if that was the choice I'd like to make as we'd been discussing the idea of me not attending as my in-laws and a lot of their friends would be there to take the stand against me, and since the judge allowed them to attend because of open court policy, I would have to be in their presence, so with already having anxiety issues, that was not an option I could bear, so Emily told me not to worry about going, that she'd have everything covered without me having to attend.. Well the trial came and went and to this day (months later) I have never heard again from Emily, no phone call, no email, nothing in the mail, and in fact never again heard from my social worker in my case, or my children's ad litem, just didn't hear from absolutely no one, nothing from the court's either.”
