I was looking for an attorney when I came across EmClara Law and Ms. Melissa Bright, Esq. on Yelp…read more She actually came up as one of the top 10 attorneys in the area, so I decided to take a chance and give her a call. I was pleasantly surprised when she answered the phone herself. I explained my situation to her, and she spoke to me as a human being first, before even treating me as a client. I'm a newer entrepreneur building my business, so I really appreciated that Ms. Bright works with entrepreneurs who are in the early stages of their journey. I was dealing with a contract that I needed legal advice on, and she helped me take a step back and separate my emotions from the situation so I could make a more informed decision. She was incredibly pleasant, understanding, honest, and real throughout our conversation, and that conversation gave me the clarity I needed to take the next step. I also really love that EmClara Law is a woman-owned firm. As a newer entrepreneur, I found Ms. Bright's extensive experience working across big law, tech startups, and global corporations especially valuable. Her background gave her a perspective that felt very relevant to the situation I was navigating, and I really appreciated the knowledge and guidance she brought to our conversation. I would definitely work with Melissa Bright, Esq. again in the future for any legal matters concerning my business. I truly appreciate having someone like her in my corner as I continue on this journey. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you're an entrepreneur looking for an attorney who will take the time to listen, understand your situation, and give you honest guidance.

Ms. Bright was the lawyer who handled my case, and she was professional, gave me detailed explanation, and executed the law well. She even received a public accolade from the Judge for her preparation and knowledge of the law during a motions hearing. I recommended Emclara to 2 of my friends/family, and they were also happy with their interaction with this law firm. I recommend Emclara and would not hesitate to use them again.

Working with Attorney Jessica Richardson was an absolute pleasure. From the very first…read moreconsultation, she communicated everything clearly and made sure I understood every step of the process. Her ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that made sense was incredibly reassuring. Jessica was always responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me--and she did just that. Her dedication, expertise, and strategic approach were evident throughout the entire process. If you're looking for someone who not only knows the law inside and out but also treats you with respect and keeps you informed every step of the way, I can't recommend Jessica Richardson highly enough. She's outstanding!

This review is for 'Jerri Fuller' from Patrick N. Anderson & Associates practice…read more Through Jerri, I had met someone who ACTUALLY CARED; someone who actually listened! She patiently listened and answered all the questions we asked. She patiently answered every single time we asked. She saw the 'full picture' of the events and prepared an approach in advance. She was able to read behind tones, words, parts of events, timing of them, immature presumptions, body/hand movements, and what could be behind them. It is rare. It truly is. Another important thing that really stood out about Jerri is that she took notes. She took plenty of notes as we spoke. It is not common. It is, again, rare, among lawyers. They may jot down a word or two but may not take enough notes and you may be left wondering if they will remember. ONLY with her, my nerves were calm enough throughout the process. She didn't interject during talks, she didn't dismiss, she didn't get angry or frustrated when something was repeated or misunderstood... She didn't refuse to meet the other participants of the event. She met them openly and very respectfully. I didn't mind a little bit of delay in messages or email responses because when she spoke to me, she took care of all my questions and concerns. I just TRUSTED her. Her tone made me feel 'less frustrated'. Very professional and practical. She gets straight to the point and just takes care of things. She was able to negotiate options well. I came across Jerri at the peak of my frustrations, forced to look, look, search, search again. I made 3 calls. I found her on the 3rd Coming across Jerri Fuller and her work approach was a refreshing water lake in a dry, harsh, cracked desert. Water that was clear, the right temperature, and had characteristics for its intended functions. People like Jerri are RARE in general, not just in her professional community. I was lucky!

I am extremely fortunate that Mr. Simmons represented me for my particular (and NOT…read morestraightforward) issue. He was very patient in explaining things to me and what I could expect. He did not sugarcoat things and was very factual about what could happen in court, NOT to scare me or provide false reassurances but to tell me what I needed to know. He was TOTALLY committed to achieving the best outcome for me which I will say right now, HE DID! I am very happy about that! He was responsive to my emails, my texts, my phone calls and most important, the advice he gave me was spot on! He communicated with me as soon as he heard from the State's Attorney or to apprise me of the SA's offer and how he intended to respond after talking to me to get agreement. Then, when we were in court, he went above and beyond, conveying my story, and what he thought was an appropriate outcome. I was floored by his eloquence and the wisdom of his word choices. He had also advised me on what Judges want to hear in such a case as mine which helped me in preparing my allocution when prompted by the Judge. It was also there in the courtroom where I witnessed Mr. Simmons in his element and tapping into his vast legal experience. I learned SO much about the law (related to my issue), courtroom behavior, legal terms, even such things as how lawyers negotiate with the State and the Judge about, well, legal stuff. If I am ever confronted by a legal problem (NOT THE SAME ONE!!!! ABSOLUTELY!!), Mr. Simmons would be the ONLY person I would trust to handle it for me. Bottom line, he knows his stuff, he's competent, and it's apparent to me that folks in the court system (Judges, Bailiffs, State prosecutors, other attorneys, even police officers) in Montgomery County know him and respect him and his opinions. His fee was extremely reasonable, especially for all the work that was required in my particular case. So, Mr. Simmons does any EXCELLENT job and if you need legal representation, go to him!

Deborah represented me in a divorce and protective order. Her tactics were a bit much and…read moreunnecessary cost and fees. She filled for a discovery (which was not necessary with out asking me so I was left with large bills for this -she supposedly was in the court house for hours however the other party's lawyer didn't find her -I was advised not attend (so I can't confirm if the billing was correct). She talks very slow (something that takes 10 minutes turns to a 30 or 60 minute phone call **she charged $500 and hour ) and her emails sometimes are "useless" at first I thought she was sweet in following up with me so much but when reviewing the invoice and email is basically a min of $75 and up to $500. Her ways of handling situations are not the best solutions - she prolonged something and multiple times (one of them could have resolved the matter back in September 2022 but she prolonged it to the end of December 2022 (4 months of paying $500 an hour). Anyway she also had my divorce decree mailed to her (so Obvi her mailing out me was another fee and me taking her call was another fee- please note that could have been mailed to me directly) Also I had to a lot of leg work and pick up documents and etc at her whim (which is not good practice - I mean I was at a dental appointment and she stated I need to complete a document asap- which was not the case). I trusted Ms Goldenberg but after reviewing my invoices and realizing her tactic and observing that a simple email "let me know how it goes" cost approx $125 - I don't recommend. - I was referred to her by a friend who had a 7/8 year divorce and after my personnel experience I can see that she is not out to get resolutions but rather prolonging it and charging you fees. This is was my experience - o wait there's more she instills fear (she recently told me I had court -which didn't make sense because the case was dropped) but again emailed me $$$ and when I called to inquire $$ and it was false information (another tactic to get more money out of me)!
