In September 2022, Emily Koning assumed the role of Senior Attorney
at Family Legal Advocacy Group, LLC (FLAG), bringing a wealth of experience and
commitment to her practice.
Graduating magna cum laude from Marshall University in 2010
and cum laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2013, Emily's
journey into family law began with impactful internships. During law school,
she interned for the Honorable Kendra Y. Ausby in the Family Division of the
Circuit Court for Baltimore City and the Maryland Office of the Public
Defender, Child in Need of Assistance Division. Her dedication to family law
continued as a student attorney in the Family Law Clinic, where she represented
clients in divorce, custody, and protective orders cases. Emily's academic
excellence also led her to become a member of the University of Baltimore Law
Review.
Post-graduation, Emily served as a clerk for a Family Law
Magistrate in Baltimore City, gaining valuable insights into the intricacies of
family law proceedings. Since then, she has devoted almost exclusively to
practicing Family Law across numerous jurisdictions in Maryland.
For Emily, the essence of client representation lies in
treating individuals like people, not merely as "cases." She firmly
believes that clients deserve to feel heard and respected throughout the legal
process, ensuring they understand the intricacies and have the necessary
information to make informed decisions. Emily's goal is for clients to emerge
from their cases feeling empowered, with a clear understanding of their
priorities and goals.
In each case she handles, Emily prioritizes her clients'
goals, recognizing the uniqueness of each complex situation. Rejecting a
one-size-fits-all approach, she understands that the outcomes in each case may
differ based on individual circumstances. Emily is committed to helping clients
achieve their specific goals, tailored to their needs and aspirations, rather
than imposing someone else's objectives.
Outside of her professional life, Emily resides in Baltimore
County with her husband and children. Beyond her legal pursuits, she enjoys
engaging in home improvement projects and cherishing quality time with family
and friends. Emily's holistic approach to both her practice and personal life
reflects her dedication to creating meaningful connections and positive outcomes
for her clients and those she holds dear.
