“Emily M.Cochran-Desantis is Superior! Had a custody situation where i needed help during difficult Covid circumstances with limited access to court enforcement. Emaily prevailed for me aginst strong opposition that resulted in exactly what i needed but would have been helpless to secure on my own. Emaily is compassionate, empathetic, creative super smart and tough - more than able to"put the hammer down' for her clients. Emily came highly recommended to me from a super credible source.. and I am only too happy to add my strongest endorsement. If you need a hotshot, Emaily will get it done for you.”

“I can't speak highly enough about Attorney Emily Cochran. She's been there through the hardest times of my family's life not only as legal support but as someone I could call on when I had no one else to call. Her professionalism combined with her genuine care for her clients makes her unbeatable & a force to reckon with. Even in the most seemingly hopeless situations I've found myself in, Emily has shown how truly amazing she is at her work & has made the impossible, possible. My family is so blessed and grateful to have found someone like her to advocate for us; she truly goes way above and beyond expectations.”

“Emily represented me in my divorce and she was wonderful!!!! I absolutely cannot recommend her highly enough!!! She helped me stay as calm as possible and kept me sane through the whole process. She is soooo helpful and responsive and especially if you have a child with special needs there is absolutely no one who will do a better job of advocating for your child's welfare. I felt soooo lucky to have found Emily and have her represent me during my divorce. I'm sure that if you choose Emily to represent you that you'll be extremely happy with your choice just as I was.”

“I met Emily Cochran during one of the hardest times of my life. I had just had a son and was needing help keeping full custody for his safety. My first lawyer basically told me my expectations were unrealistic and this is how the law works and that I needed to "get over it, he is the father and you have to deal with him for 18 years". I didn't accept that. Emily listened to me and understood my priorities for my family. She was not only empathetic but professional in her role. She would always listen to my concerns and help me understand the legal process and all the options we had available with the potential outcomes. She fought so hard for my son and was always there when I needed her. It's been six years and I still have full custody of my son. Without her I don't know where we would be now.”

“I retained Emily Cochran to assist with a child custody matter, and it was obvious from day one that it was the best decision I could have made. She was able to quickly familiarize herself with the details of the matter and provided well- thought-out, sound advice, tirelessly advocating for me during a very difficult time. Emily was extremely knowledgeable and remained attentive throughout the entire process - quickly responding to questions or allaying any concerns I had. There is, without question, no one else I would trust any further custodial or family law matters to.”

“Attorney Emily Cochran-Desantis was such a blessing during a very difficult time for my family and me. Going through a separation with a child involved is not something anyone plans on when they first find out they are expecting. Attorney Emily's patient guidance, diligence, and mother-to-mother advice, was more that I could have expected or asked for in an attorney. My intuition led me to trust her, as she calmly hushed my anxieties whenever I felt overwhenled with the reality of raising my daughter in two different households. The transition went smoothly and I have no doubt it was due to the attention, Attorney Emily gave to not just our case, but also to me as a brand new single with doubts and fears. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you”

“EMILY CONHRAN-DESANTIS IS WHO YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE DURING A DIVORCE Emily was recommended to me by a friend and I am so thankful I Picked up the phone and scheduled that consultation. We went the collabrative route to process my divorce. Emily was with me every step of the way. There were times i couldn't think clearly, just in a daze from the tension and stress. She stepped in and fought on my behalf and I am so grateful for her. Knowledgeable and professional-- I would highly recommend her. She will be forever known in my books as the 'feisty redhead'!”

“Unfortunately, I have had to hire a couple attorneys in my day and Emily is hands down the best. She fought hard to get me custody of my child. She went above and beyond to make sure me and my daughter were taken care of during a difficult time. Thank you Emily!”

“I used Emily Cochran last year as legal representation for my divorce. Can I say she was nothing short of AMAZING. Being one of the most stressful situations in my life, she not only helped me navigate the legal side of my divorce, but she also helped support me mentally by saying the right word at the right time and providing a unique perspective that was instrumental in helping me throughout the process. She was easy to work with, quick to return my calls, and always timely in any request of information or concern that I had. There is no question in my mind that because of her expertise, she was able to shorten my case and ultimately save me money in the end. Prior to Emily, I had worked with a number of attorneys and honestly, never had a very good experience. After working with her, she has restored my confidence in the entire legal profession and the value in having top quality representation. If I ever have a future need for legal representation, I will definitely use Emily. Bottom line, if you are looking for a high quality, professional, and results driven attorney, I would highly recommend you contact Emily Cochran.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Emily on two high conflict cases. Both cases included negotiation, settlement, and unfortunately, courtroom involvement. Emily was exceptional in all phases, seeking reasonable resolution that would benefit all, most importantly the children involved. She explored every viable option to settle a case before court was considered, and imperative mindset for any family law specialist. I would be quite comfortable and confident in referring any kind of family case to Emily, knowing it will be handled with the absolute pinnacle of compassion, care, and competence.”

“Emily Desantis is a firecracker! She was made for family law. If you want to ensure the best interest of your child remains the goal, she is your attorney. Emily prioritizes the children, while guiding her clients through the ugly process of divorce. She is the logic and reasoning part of the team, while her clients are given grace as they experience the emotional roller coaster of the Divorce Trauma. She will let her clients know when they are being unreasonable or not putting the best interest of the child first, to ensure the client does not waste their child's education fund and the innocent bystanders of the divorce are not put at additional risk of long-term negative effects. Emily strives to get the issues settled outside of Court and between the parents; who know the children the best and loves them the most. However, if she deems there is an injustice, you better believe she will take it to the courtroom and cause an explosion.”

“Emily has a deep compassion for her clients and is able to navigate them through a difficult time. She cares deeply and is well skilled at providing solutions and resources to do so.”

“It’s a pleasure to work with Emily on a case. You always know what you’re going to get and that’s intelligence, empathy and compassionate advocacy. I’m honored to have her as a colleague.”

“I am in constant admiration of Emily’s ability to empathize with clients; it’s part of what makes her an exceptional divorce attorney. She brings the full measure of her experiences, professional and personal, to bear for each of her clients. And I’ve seen firsthand how she prioritizes the well-being of children who are going through what can otherwise be a confusing and difficult process. Emily’s thoughtful and caring approach makes her invaluable to anyone navigating the divorce process.”

“Our company has been conducting criminal and personal injury investigations, for literally hundreds of attorneys over the years who practice throughout the tri-state area. Emily M. DeSantis is one of the attorneys for whom NKIS has investigated cases for, on a routine basis, and without question Ms. DeSantis is one of the most thorough and efficient attorneys that our office has ever been associated with. When Attorney DeSantis is hired to represent a client in a legal matter said client will get "top shelf" representation, and the lines of communication will always be opened between Ms. DeSantis and her clients; she represents her client's in a diligent manner. Highly recommended.”

“Emily DeSantis is a pleasure to work with. She has a wealth of legal knowledge, she is responsive, and she is client focused with an incredible work ethic. Emily is always willing to go the extra mile in representing her clients.”
