Emily Russell

Emily leads our firm’s litigation team, focusing on all aspects of divorce, custody and child support matters. Emily’s favorite place to be is in the courtroom. She is a seasoned litigator who will tell you that there are few things better in life than a well-executed cross-examination.

When she’s not in court, Emily is one of the nicest lawyers you will ever meet. Within the firm she is known for her ability to approach every case with a calm focus that puts her clients at ease. She has earned the well-deserved reputation among her colleagues for her willingness to successfully take on some of the most difficult divorce and custody cases throughout the state. Without a doubt, Emily is the trial attorney you want seated on your side of the courtroom.

Emily assists her clients in many negotiation as well as litigation cases, involving complex scenarios regarding same-sex divorce, division of property, protective order / peace order matters, as well as emotional guardianship matters. With over 20 years of experience practicing family law, Emily successfully understands the clients’ needs and her goal is the best possible outcomes for her clients.

When Emily is not at work, you will find her looking for her children’s lost shoes (socks, backpacks, homework) and driving to horseback riding lessons.
