Updated with response: I hired Emily in 2022. I had previously retained another firm, but I was assigned an attorney who had only been a lawyer for a year, which I felt was inadequate—not for any “scandalous” or “irrelevant” reasons, as she has publicly implied. That previous firm had spent weeks drafting a document that was ready to file. Emily represented me just over two weeks yet billed approximately $10,000. I asked for help filing the existing document, but she instead directed me to legal aid and then the police, whic... read more

I strongly advise against hiring Emily Smoak as legal counsel. My experience was nothing short of a disaster. Throughout the case, Ms. Smoak relied on unfounded accusations rather than solid legal arguments, demonstrating a complete lack of preparation for the hearing. During the proceedings, when the commissioner instructed her to draft the judgment on-site and obtain signatures before leaving the courthouse, she admitted that she didn’t have her laptop and requested to complete it later. The commissioner was visibly disple... read more
