What They Say

JP, Client

Emily was open and honest about the amount it was going to cost and the time it would take to do a contested divorce. In the first conversation I ever had with her she told me it would probably cost $20-50K, and take maybe a year or longer. I was hoping for the lower end of each but it took 2 years and cost about $50K. There were 2 mediations, a GAL, police, CPS and many other crazy things that happened during the course of the 2 years, like COVID and all ZOOM meetings. I was active duty military and… Read more “JP, Client”

Yen, Client

Emily is Amazing! She is very honest and considerate. Unlike most of the lawyers I have consulted with, she responds to me timely and always thinks a few steps ahead for me and my daughter. Emily is not the cheapest lawyer, but she DEFINITELY deserves every penny she charges! My husband has a history of DV & alcohol abuse, and Emily came up with all the terms that are still protecting my daughter and me. My husband had to accomplish an anger management class and other therapies. Emily can be tough to the opposing attorney and be really gentle, willing-to-listen… Read more “Yen, Client”

Jared, Client

I consulted Ms. Yu after being in a custody battle for over a year. I was a military father trying to plead my case. Ms. Yu listened closely to my concerns and addressed them all in a sophisticated manner that helped put my mind at ease. She was willing to travel over 4 hours to help fight my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Ms. Yu felt like family and nothing was too big or too much of a problem. She helped me secure primary custodial rights of my two young boys. I couldn’t have done it… Read more “Jared, Client”

Cheryl, Client

Emily Yu is a phenomenal Attorney! After much research in determining which divorce attorney to use, I chose Yu Family Law, LLC hands down and I am extremely glad I did! Emily is very adept at her craft. She is tenacious and tough when required, compassionate when it’s warranted, honest, confident, and knows when each of these essential characteristics is required and executes them flawlessly. Additionally, Emily is very detail-oriented while never losing sight of the big picture. When impediments arise, she is always able to devise a mitigation strategy for execution. My situation was stressful and I was at… Read more “Cheryl, Client”

Kim, Client

When looking for a divorce lawyer, I knew it had to be someone with compassion and the strength to fight. A neighbor who had used a lawyer for a custody dispute recommended Emily Yu. I had several appointments booked with lawyers who had been recommended by friends, but after my initial meeting with Emily, I canceled the other appointments. She showed the empathy and the determination I needed to help me navigate this heartwrenching process. What I like most about Emily, is that she really tried to get to know me and understand what I was expecting to receive from… Read more “Kim, Client”

Yao, Client

After 5-6 months in my divorce, nothing was being done with the prior counsel. I was struggling and frustrated. A friend recommended Emily. My life was changed the day I hired Emily!! Emily got right on the case and kept things moving as soon as she took over. She is very proactive, knowledgeable, strategic, straight forward and organized. She understood me and my situation. I trust and rely on Emily 100%. She helped me keeping thing real and supported me when I was struggling with the ex, emotions and unrealistic expectations at times.

I guarantee you will never find a better divorce attorney than Emily Yu. My wife made an initial offer that I was ready to take, but after Emily’s advice we made a counteroffer that was accepted!

YB, Consult

I consulted with Emily to get a second opinion on my case. Emily was straightforward to the point, upfront, and honest. She suggested I stayed with my current counsel as they are good attorneys and doing the right things. Emily gave me some great advice every divorcing parent should be thinking about. From the short conversation, I can tell Emily is passionate and very knowledge of what she does. She truly cares about her clients and the results, not just another case number. When you are going through rough times and fighting for your love ones, you need someone who… Read more “YB, Consult”

Steve, Client

I had an extremely rare case involving annulment. About 99.9% of the attorneys never gets to see a annulment case, not to mention ever get a chance to practice one in their entire career. Anyway, Emily got the ball rolling and it took many months but finally I got an annulment! During the process, Emily was very candid, did what she had to do and got the job done. If you have a rare case, Emily is the attorney for you. My only regret was that I didn’t find her… Read more “Steve, Client”

As a lawyer, she’s a 10 out of 10. As a genuine,honest, caring human being, she’s in a league of her own. When people use the phrase ” I can’t say enough about__”, This phrase was truly made for Emily. She’s simply INCREDIBLE. Her and Erin have been there for me and my girls, every step of the way, with sound legal advice. They never asked me for a review at the beginning of my case, like some other big firms did. She truly took me and my daughters financial situation into consideration, key word in this phrase is “truly”.… Read more “Gary, Client”

In the middle of a very messy custody issue I was fortunate enough to meet and hire Emily Yu. Emily took the time to listen to me and advised me on the best way to approach my case. She made me feel supported and always ensured that me and my child were comfortable with the direction of the case. In the end we were able to come to an agreement during mediation.

William, Client

Ms. Yu was selected as my divorce council. I interviewed several lawyers before selecting Ms. Yu. Our discussions were professional, matter of fact, and direct. She was very conscientious of the process as well as how difficult divorce can be. Her approach was very much appreciated. My own opinion is that she approaches each case based on its unique conditions and acts appropriately. Meaning she will fight hard when it is required but also not antagonize opposing parties and create additional animosity where it could become counter productive. I appreciated her oversight through a process I never wanted to be… Read more “William, Client”

Kathryn, Client

Where do I begin? On an impulse, I married someone that I met on the internet who claimed to be of my faith. I am not a victim, as I accept my stupidity in this matter. For three years, I felt trapped and tormented by a person who was, of course, not what I thought he was via internet. It’s so strange because I do not consider myself an idiot. This situation compromised my ability to have friends, happiness, religion, and lastly, self esteem. My life evolved into pure misery as I was the provider and my animals were sad… Read more “Kathryn, Client”

Emily was recommended to me to assist with my divorce case that involved two minor children. During the process Emily and her team were fantastic, they understood my case extremely well and supported/advised me in a fair, professional and accurate manor. My ex-wife and I were sadly unable to settle in either of our mediation sessions and as a result our case was handled by a judge, for me this is where Emily shined. Emily relayed key facts and details on the button and her attention to detail underlined the recommendation. Thanks Emily, Shanna and… Read more “Simon, Client”

Emily represented me in my divorce suit. From beginning to end, she did an excellent job gathering and presenting the evidence.

Emily maintains a respected presence among the courts and her peers, and she is not afraid to push back with the appropriate amount of force and professionalism. Additionally, Emily was always conscious of and sought steps to keep my legal fees at a minimum and on an as needed basis only. I highly recommend Emily without… Read more “Jon, Client”

Michele, Client

Emily Yu is a very caring, professional and thorough attorney. Divorces are usually difficult times for us. Emily’s guidance and willingness to listen to what I wanted to accomplish was beyond what I expected. Even though my spouse opted not to seek representation, Emily reached out to him to speed up his response to my divorce proceedings, while letting him know that she was “my” attorney and could not advocate for him in any way. She was very professional and expedited paperwork so that I could move forward quickly. Within 5 months, all was said and done. She didn’t tack… Read more “Michele, Client”

I talked to Emily and found out she was a new mom too – just like me – and understood what I was going through raising a baby, working full time, and how important custody was to me. She worked diligently to complete my case and she was there every step of the way to walk me through the process.

How fortunate that luck handed me Emily Yu to represent me in the unpleasant task of negotiating a pre-nuptial with my beloved. It is a difficult process emotionally and her compassion and gentle patience was comforting. That is not to say she is airy-fairy. This attorney knows her stuff! And if she does not know something specific (as we were creative solutionalizing), she researches and finds out. While there are many aspects that I appreciate about Emily Yu, as a psychotherapist myself, I most appreciated her ability to listen, synthesize information and articulate her holistic impression of my position, both… Read more “Client”

I contacted Emily about my divorce after having issues with my current attorney being slow and non-responsive. My divorce was moving extremely slowly and I felt like things weren’t progressing forward after 18 months in the process. I interviewed multiple attorneys and ultimately chose Emily. And, I really cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She got things back on track and pushed the process forward. She practices law with a great balance of kindness, strategy and integrity.

Rollin, Client

I’m an older retired attorney, and my divorce involved some complicated financial issues, but no custody issues and was not contested, although the opposing attorney was somewhat belligerent and had a tendency to misstate facts. Emily handled all of this in a very calm & competent fashion, but beyond that was also understanding and supportive regarding the emotional stress of a divorce. Her billing was reasonable; that is, she did not run up the bill by creating a lot of issues where there were none; as, unfortunately, some attorneys do.

Emily was a referral from a work colleague. Immediately after our initial consultation, my ex-wife caused some unnecessary drama which Emily handled masterfully.

Miracles don’t happen often. That’s why they are so precious. When I found my children and myself in the most challenging situation in our lives – emotionally, financially, spiritually, and physically – I clearly knew I needed more than a lawyer – I needed a Human Being with a big heart. I went through a list of at least 8 legal professionals, most of whom did not really see me or my children; their priorities were… well, different.

From the first moments of talking to Emily, you could tell that she wanted to help resolve the scenario I was thrust into as fairly as possible.

It is extremely special to speak to someone who is genuine about there relationship with their client. Ms. Yu listened to my entire situation and was very clear and patient with her response. Although consultations are a part of business, I am still a person and Ms. Yu never forgot about that part of her service. Based on that one conversation I have already contacted three people about her… Read more “Client”

I worked with Emily during my recent divorce with a child custody arrangement and settlement agreement. She responded to my emails promptly and provided all options so I could be informed and choose accordingly. I always felt that she was looking out for my interests while being fair and reasonable about all options. She was able to make multiple revisions to our settlement agreement quickly while still providing additional thoughts and consideration that ultimately made it a better agreement. Emily was the consummate professional while also being very understanding about my family’s needs. A better example of what a lawyer… Read more “Shawn, Client”

She was very honest with her opinions on the subject matter. Out of all the lawyers in this site she was the most responsive, it’s like she really cared about welfare of my questions. Mrs Yu. Was a professional from the very start she made it clear that she understood motives as a father who truly wants his daughter back in his life and what it steps that will have to be made to make that happen. Mrs Yu seems to be a great person and I would recommend her to anybody in the position I’m in, she will go… Read more “Kai, Client”

Jay, Client

Normally, Im not one to write and post reviews, But after seeking legal advice from Atty. Su-Hwa Yu, I felt compelled to leave this review because I was taken aside by her professionalism and personal interest in my case. Over the years, I have dealt with several attorneys, But none impressed me and left a mark like Emily has. From my first contact with her, she gave attention to my concerns and was always available to answer any questions I may have had. Her attention to detail and willingness to listen lets you know that she really is concerned with… Read more “Jay, Client”

Emily Yu served as one of my divorce attorneys. She is very dedicated and committed, highly professional, responsive, listens to needs and concerns, and provided legal guidance to enable me to reach a fair settlement. Emily is well educated, very confident, very articulate, prepared, and patiently explained many of the legal procedures that were unfamiliar to me. She was strategic in working with opposing attorney, but very collaborative with her Partners/Peers in researching / validating the best legal advice and options for my case. Although Emily’s caseload continued to build during the time my case was in progress, each time… Read more “Cindy, Client”

Christine, Client

Emily represented me in a child support modification and in a contempt case that I filed against my ex-husband. She found a way based on her research to address both these issues at the same time to save me time and personal resources. I found Emily to be very fair in the way she charged me for her services and extremely sympathetic to the way I was being personally affected by the issues at hand in my case. She listened to what my overall goals were and fought hard for me, achieving the best outcome possible for me personally. I… Read more “Christine, Client”

From the first moments of talking to Emily, you could tell that she wanted to help resolve the scenario I was thrust into as fairly as possible. The other side initially asked for the world on a platter, and while we could have fought back with a similar response- which would have definitely lead us to court, she took a level headed approach and subsequently saved lots of added expenses and stayed the voice of reason for both counsels. She was so meticulous that she often corrected not only spelling and grammatical errors on the opposite counsel’s documents, but checked… Read more “Client”

When you need an attorney, you are almost always going through a time of uncertainty. (Let’s face it: otherwise, you wouldn’t need an attorney). Emily called me back. Emily emailed me back every time I needed her. Additionally, she encouraged me to contact her on her vacation should I have something pressing…..WHAT??!?!?. It was my desire to handle my Divorce case with sensitivity and respect to my former spouse. Emily took this direction and pleasantly complied. I always felt it was MY CASE and Emily was working on my behalf. *(Not the other way around). She guided me on best… Read more “Client”

John, Client

Emily was very professional in the handling of my complicated case involving my ex taking my 1 year old daughter abroad. She explained all options that were available on the different aspects of my case and kept me up to date on the case status. Unlike other attoneries that I hired in my initial divorce process, Emily truly listens…and all the options she recommended are for the best interest of my baby girl, which I really appreciated it. Divorce is sad, especially when there are children involved… I can’t emphasize how important it is to be able to communicate in… Read more “John, Client”
