Emerson Divorce and Accident Injury Attorneys, L.L.C.

I am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the legal representation I received from Emerson Law, hereafter referred to as "Jr." Throughout the course of my case, Jr. demonstrated a lack of initiative, accountability, and professionalism that has left me financially strained and legally disadvantaged. At the provisional hearing, Jr. remained completely silent--even in the face of clear evidence contradicting the opposing party's claims. Despite having documentation that could have shifted the direction of the case, he chose not to speak or advocate on my behalf. His passivity was both disappointing and detrimental. Additionally, Jr. failed to follow through on several critical actions I explicitly requested, including initiating a paternity test and pursuing what I believed to be legitimate fraud concerns. His inaction on these fronts left major aspects of my case unresolved. Although I was billed at a rate of $500 per hour, it often felt as though the bare minimum was being done. The only task Jr. completed was the initial divorce filing. As a result of his poor guidance and overall mismanagement, I am now facing a monthly financial shortfall of approximately $3,500. Rather than taking responsibility, he responded by threatening to withdraw from the case unless further payments were made--despite the ongoing and incomplete work. In total, I have spent over $15,000 for what I estimate to be less than one-third of the necessary legal effort. To compound matters, Jr. was visibly outperformed in court by opposing counsel, who lacked the same level of resources or specialization. This experience has been incredibly disappointing, both personally and financially. I hope this feedback will serve to highlight the need for higher standards of accountability and advocacy within your practice.

My boyfriend and I requested a free consultation with JR to just get a little more educated about what our true options may be. JR was awesome to talk to. He was personable, but also professional in explaining the ins and outs and the different routes that we could go. We greatly appreciated him taking time out of his busy day to just chat with us a little bit and if I ever need legal help in the future, I will come back to Emerson Law.

If you need an attorney of record, JR is your guy. If you actually need something done, look elsewhere. He will take large amounts of your money and sit quietly; literally a mute in court. The opposing counsel wiped the floor with him. He will cower in the face of opposition until you admit defeat. He cost us big on all fronts! The only person that saved our case was the GAL, that WE pushed for. We are very thankful for her. Very poor advocacy!

Jill and JR handled my loved one's legal issue with complete competence and the kind of legal knowledge that immediately set us at ease. They spoke with us as equals and fought for our rights as if fighting for their own. Couldn't be more please with the outcome. Thank you Emerson Law!

JR and his amazing staff have worked with me for around three years and I have been nothing but amazed with their work ethic and dedication. I will always use his services for me legal needs!
