What Our Clients Say

Dear Tori,
It has been such a pleasure working with you. From the very beginning of my filing last year, you have kept me strong and cool-headed throughout the difficult conversations I was having with my husband. You have helped me use the divorce process, and the law, to show me that I could be protected personally and that my assets and custody arrangements would be done fairly. Your professionalism, prompt and insightful responses, and confident attitude have been invaluable to me.
With most sincere appreciation for you and your work in this matter.

Ok folks, especially MEN. I WILL tell you first hand. I have hired three lawyers. TWO OF WHICH WERE MEN…THEY TOOK ME FOR A FINANCIAL RIDE. I DIDN’T RECEIVE A FINAL OUTCOME EITHER TIME. FOUR YEARS LATER, I THEN DECIDED TO FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE…I HIRED EMILY JOHNSTON AND WITHIN 2 1/2 MONTHS MY DIVORCE WAS FINAL! Words can not explain the appreciation I have for Emily, and her legal team! Once again folks, you will not be disappointed if you do hire Emily johnston. You will thank youself in the very near future, for making the right choice!

Emily is quite simply the best!
I interviewed and researched many attorneys in the area. I did not want to divorce and I hated the thought of even stepping foot into an attorney’s office. The whole process went completely against my beliefs and how I grew up. It was foreign and frightening to me. I instantly knew Emily was the right attorney for me because she was brutally honest, fiercely strong and yet compassionate at the same time. She was fair, and I wanted fairness! She is classy, smart and down to earth at the same time. I was NOT strong and I know I was stubborn, but she stuck it out with me. She made sure that I was protected financially when I was way too weak to fight for myself. She had the experience and foresight that I lacked. She and her staff are the friends I did not ever want to have, but now I am so grateful that I found them. Truly they have been my refuge in this terrible storm. I am forever grateful. I love you Emily! Thank you for everything!
