I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding support and expertise provided by Emily Jones Queen during one of the most challenging periods of my life. My child custody case was incredibly complex, involving numerous legal hurdles and emotional stress. From the moment I first consulted with Emily, I felt an immense sense of relief and confidence in her abilities.

Emily is different from other attorneys. She has a heart and compassion. I could not have left my abusive marriage with any other attorney, that I know for certain. She not only cared but assisted in advocating for me as well as rebuilding my confidence to advocate for myself. Emily was a crucial component in my self growth and her ability to navigate the court system allowed for me to focus on being the best mom I can be.
