Ben Embry Fought Tirelessly
Attorney Ben Embry fought tirelessly for my sister and niece in a long and difficult child custody case, and thanks to his dedication, our family is whole again. This victory was a true blessing—a sweet, tender mercy after years of heartache.
Ben Embry is not only incredibly knowledgeable and strategic, but he also has strong morals and a deep sense of justice. He knew exactly what he was doing every step of the way, always staying one step ahead. His intelligence, professionalism, and commitment to doing what’s right made all the difference.
He was worth every penny and then some. If you need a lawyer who truly cares and will fight for you with everything he’s got, Ben Embry is the one to call. Our family will forever be grateful for him.

Teresa Lombardo
He fights for the underdog
I have been with Embry Family Law since he took my case in late 2020. I had an extremely difficult fight that had little to no chance of winning. Due to the difficult circumstances of my story and case, I was turned down by multiple top attorneys in the area, and by the grace of God, Ben without hesitation offered to give it a shot. Prior to Ben, I had supervised visitations, just moved to New Jersey, and my son was in California with his father. Thanks to Ben and his team trusting me and taking my case, I now have full custody of my son, and he was able to move to New Jersey with me. He fights for the underdog, and when you communicate, he listens and takes everything into consideration. I trust Ben and his team with my life, and I am forever grateful. There are amazing and honest family law attorneys out there, and Embry Family Law is one of them.
Shannon Holmes
A Learning Experience
My wife and I decided that it was time to file for shared custody of my son since there was no custody order in place after doing whatever my son's mother wanted for 3 years just to avoid conflict. I was planning to represent myself, but since my son's mother decided to get a lawyer, so did I in order to have a better advocate for myself. The staff is extremely friendly. Ben and his team represented us to the best of their ability through the course of almost 11 months. This was dragged on longer than expected due to my son's mother being difficult. There was a time when we were misrepresented by Cecelia (when she had to substitute for Ben). I believe it was a misunderstanding during our ex parte. Luckily, we were following our temporary court order at the time, so it did not affect anything. My son's mother wanted to stop us from leaving the state of California on a road trip. It's understandable that she probably did not have enough time to review our file due to it being an ex parte. The only other situation was when we were supposed to resubmit documentation, and my wife had to reach out to them on Thursday, October 5th, to find out the deadline was Monday, October 9th. Luckily, we did submit on time, but it was a little annoying that they weren't more on top of it since we worked during the times they were open, and my wife had to help me with all the documents while she was on her break at work. But even if we didn't file on time, I don't think that it would have made any difference due to the court itself since there was no consequence for the other party not filing all the documents necessary. Besides that one time, they were very timely with reaching out for all documentation. But throughout almost a whole year, those are the only "mistakes." I do not believe that I could have better represented myself due to my shy nature. This was definitely a learning experience and helped my wife and I learn what rights I have with my son. It's definitely a little more pricey than other attorneys, but you definitely get what you pay for, and in this case, it was a good thing. Thank you very much to the WHOLE team.

Highly Recommend This Team
Ben, Nick, and Cecelia are amazing. They made my case seamless and took a lot of stress off my plate. They are knowledgeable in military law, timely in their responses, and actually seemed to care about me as a person. Highly recommend!
Kim Haught Zeitz
Highly Appreciative of Ben and Team
My wife and I are highly appreciative of Ben and his entire team. They assisted us with a Move-Away order for my stepdaughter to move out of state with me, along with the termination of rights and adoption of her. It was a long and arduous process being in the military and re-stationed outside of California throughout the process. To have to work with the California court from across the country was a nightmare, but Ben and his team helped us along the way, and I couldn't be happier that we were able to accomplish it all. Thank you so much for the support and assistance throughout everything!

Best law firm I have ever worked with
This is the best law firm I have ever worked with. When I first started out with them it was just Ben and Nicholas that I remember. I had to go back to them and it had grown, and I got the pleasure of working with Cecilia, and she has been amazing to me. His entire staff has, but I have worked very closely with Cecilia on my case and I couldn’t be more thankful for her kindness, patience, and care. There’s a lot I didn’t always understand, and she stood by me the whole way. I love this law firm so much. I highly recommend them. A big thank you to them all. Especially the three who have worked closely with me. Again, thank you Ben, Cecilia, and Nicholas so much.
Amber Smith
Happily Divorced and Finalized Quickly
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 Montano. 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.

You'll never feel alone.
Ben is a true fighter for what is right in people's lives. He stands up for the underdog. He remembers you and the details of your story (which is very hard to find in an attorney). All of his team members converse with him and each other about your issues, so that you have an entire team behind you. You’ll never feel alone. They have always returned my emails in minutes. Nicholas, the office manager, is wonderfully kind and warm, and makes you feel like part of the Embry family. This team can help you. I don’t know where I’d be without them.
Reagan Iris
Amazing Team for Divorce and Custody
Mr. Embry and his entire team are amazing. Divorce and custody are difficult and stressful to process and navigate, and the Embry Family Law team has always been responsive, helpful, and reassuring. I have worked with Mr. Embry and his team multiple times now for different issues, and I have always felt that they had my best interest at heart. Highly recommend!
Nadine Morton
Happily moving on with our lives
As a father of 3, going through a divorce after 22 years here in SD, I could not have asked for better representation than I received from Ben Embry and team (Camille, Isaac, Nicholas). I retained custody of my children, had alimony discharged and am happily moving on with our lives. This would not have been possible without the straightforward, prompt, and committed nature of this firm. My great thankfulness and appreciation to Ben and team for their hard work and dedication to making clients feel like they are in good hands.
steve simpson
Thankful for Ben and His Team
I don’t even know where to begin. I first met Ben when he was with Paul Staley back in 2010, and even when he was helping me then, he was the kindest person I had ever met. Jump to 10 years later, I needed an attorney as my custody case had opened up again. I had no clue who to go to, as my original attorney was no longer practicing. I was lost and had no clue what I was going to do. I got a reference to reach out to Ben that he had opened his own practice. I am truly thankful for Ben, Nick, and the entire firm! They eased my mind! My case I know was not the easiest, but Ben reassured me every time we had court that it was all going to be okay. My case was during the pandemic, and I reside in Texas. Everything that could have been complicated about my case happened, but again, Ben and his team did an amazing job! It was tough having to testify, but Ben made sure I was prepared! I could never in this whole world put into words how truly thankful and grateful I am for Ben and his amazing team! I know at times people want to go to big law firms, but I highly recommend this one as they are more personable! You will not regret going with Ben!
Samantha Medrano
Amazing with billing
I can honestly say this firm was amazing with billing and did not try to take all my money as most firms do. Nicholas is my favorite person there, he is so patient and understanding, especially with all the stress that comes with this process and really listens to your concerns. Ben Embry was on my case and is a parent as well, so he gets it. All my phone calls and emails were answered within a timely manner, and nobody ever gave me the runaround.

Yes, temporary modifications can be granted in situations that require immediate changes, such as a medical emergency or a temporary change in employment. These modifications are usually in place until a more permanent solution is determined.
What if the other party opposes the modification?
If the other party opposes the modification, the matter may go to court where a judge will review evidence from both sides. The court will make a decision based on the best interests of any involved children and the current circumstances of both parties.
Is court approval necessary for modifications?
Yes, court approval is necessary to legally change an existing family law order. It's important to follow legal procedures to ensure any modifications are enforceable and recognized by the court.
How long does the modification process take?
The duration of the modification process can vary based on the complexity of the case and the court's schedule. It can take a few weeks to several months to finalize, so it's best to start the process as soon as a change in circumstances is identified.
