Ms. Emery is professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me on top of what was going with my case. In addition, she is kind, sensitive and very caring. During a very tumultuous time, Ms. Emery helped guide me both professionally and personally. A wonderful lawyer!

Anne's knowledge and understanding of the law were just one of the reasons I chose her to represent me in my divorce. Anne and her entire team were so encouraging during my divorce. She was very attentive to my concerns and swift in her actions. The personal stress of the long process was much easier to manage knowing my case was being handled with such professionalism. Thank you Anne and team for your care and compassion during this trying time.

I consulted Ms. Emery on an issue outside her specified field of expertise. She is an excellent listener and asked important, detailed questions to assist me in defining the type of attorney needed and then offered to confidentially seek someone in the field of expertise I desired / needed. In other situations I've known her to assist individuals in unusual circumstances with no-one to turn too for advice or guidance. She cares about family, children and parents, and works for the healthiest outcome for all. Ms. Emery is compassionate and straightforward. I would recommend her services to individuals needing legal assistance in the areas of her expertise.

I would highly recommend Mrs. Emery she was efficient, determined, and I felt like she really cared about my issues. Any time I needed to speak with her she was quick to either return my call or send me a quick email. She never wasted my time or money when it came to handling my case.
