"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) -
"I am forever grateful to them and definitely will be recommending Embry Family Law to ALL my family and friends."
This review is long overdue, I want to thank Nick, Kaylin, and Ben for taking on my difficult case and representing me. I had consulted with others who only planted fear and made me lose hope. Thanks to a fellow coworker who recommended them to me, I won my case and had the best representation! I am forever grateful to them and definitely will be recommending Embry Family Law to ALL my family and friends.- Ileana S. (Google Review) -
