Q&A with Emily Rubenstein
How do you help clients through such a difficult time?
It takes a very specific balance of empathy, sensitivity, and at times, tough love. Divorce can feel overwhelming. Clients need personal attention and a non-judgmental ear. They also need plain answers to complex family law and divorce questions.
​
Because divorce is emotional, part of my job is to help clients make smart decisions through the cloud of emotional discomfort. My job is to protect my clients and guide them to best possible result.
Domestic Violence Solutions That Respond To Your Individual Needs With Legal & Emotional Intelligence
Escaping from domestic abuse is one of the most traumatic things a person can endure. The right support team is critical.
With both fierce advocacy and a calming spirit, we guide clients through some of the most difficult and sensitive times in their lives. We do this with first-class litigation and negotiation skills along with emotional intelligence that many other attorneys lack.
​
When we go to court to request a domestic violence restraining order, we know what's at stake. We unleash a proactive strategy and prepare to win.
​
Our goal is to protect you, your family, and your personal finances with sensitivity and compassion.
​
During our initial consultation, we'll ask a series of questions and listen to your unique story to evaluate your case and begin creating a custom strategy to suit your individual needs.
