We Put CARE Into Everything We Do
Compassion. Adaptability. Respect. Experience.
Law Philosophy
We believe that a client has the right to:
- Competent representation by an attorney who has the legal knowledge, skill, and mental, emotional and physical ability to properly, diligently, and efficiently represent the client per the highest standards of the profession.
- An attorney’s advice at the outset of representation regarding the advantages and disadvantages of various courses of conduct, including alternatives to litigation.
- Have an attorney’s independent, professional judgment, uncompromised by any conflict of interest.
- Be charged a reasonable fee and to receive, at the outset, an explanation of the billing procedures and how the fee will be calculated. The right to receive honest and clear billing statements. If the fee is on an hourly basis, the right to receive monthly written statements sets forth each attorney’s rate of compensation and the time expended for each task.
- Be kept reasonably informed regarding the status of the matter the attorney is working on and to receive all significant documents so that the client can participate meaningfully. The attorney and client should be members of the same team!
- Have all questions and concerns addressed in a timely manner and to have telephone calls returned promptly.
- Privacy in all dealings with the attorney and to have all confidences preserved to the extent permitted by law.
- An attorney who is a member in good standing with the bar and who conducts herself ethically and in accordance with the Code of Professional Responsibility.

Ben Embry's family law practice is the best in San Diego! His knowledge, professionalism, affordability, and his entire staff are unequaled. I recently went through a difficult divorce. Ben and company made it easy on me. My results were amazing! More than I thought was possible! Ben and his staff have a vast knowledge of family case law and family code and the results showed it. My many thanks to Embry Family Law and to Ben, Nicholas, Isik, and Kaylin! Ben is a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS).

"Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you."
It had been a long two years of waiting and frustrations in the hands of my previous lawyer to get the legal closure I needed to move forward with my post-divorce life. As anyone going through divorce knows, nothing about it is easy or enjoyable ... that is until I met Nicholas Montaño. As office manager and head paralegal at Embry Family Law, Nicholas took my call and ran with it. From the get-go, I felt supported and that I was in capable hands. Within a few weeks, I was happily divorced and all was finalized, even sooner than the court date assigned to my case. Throughout our [thankfully] short time working together, he showed compassion, empathy, and understanding. And I especially appreciated his effective and efficient communication, and willingness to go above and beyond with sensitivity to time. Thank you Nicholas -- your team and clients are lucky to have you.- Kathy D. (Google Review)
