 Emily  has been handling adoptions exclusively since 2009 when she began  working with Tom. She is also a Quad A attorney. Emily has authored materials for an adoption seminar  presented by the South Carolina Bar.


Emily is a native of Charleston and graduated from the College of  Charleston with degrees in History and Studio Art. She received her JD  from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and her LLM from the University of Miami Law School.
