Emily Seki, Esq.

SKILLED FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

“I know nothing is more important to you than protecting your children and your finances, and that is why I will counsel you with empathy while confidently advocating for you and your rights.” – Emily Seki, Esq.

A native of Placer County and an attendee of Granite Bay High School, Attorney Emily Seki has deep roots in the Sacramento area. In 2011, she graduated from the University of California – Davis with a Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies, minoring in Sociology. While volunteering her time in the Family Law Self-Help Center in Sacramento, CA, she became interested in the law and its role in shaping our everyday lives. Ms. Seki then attended Lincoln Law School of Sacramento, graduating with her J.D. in 2015.

During her time in law school, Ms. Seki had the privilege of assisting the Sacramento County Department of Child Support Services (DCSS), where she reviewed complex child support cases, enforced court orders, and litigated as a certified law student on her days off as a child support officer. It was during that time that Ms. Seki discovered her true passion for family law, as she helped the Department with over 20-30 child support cases per week. In addition to DCSS, she also served as a paralegal for the Sacramento County Conflict Criminal Defenders and the Federal Defenders Office, developing important pre-trial and data management skills in the process.

Ms. Seki began her legal career at a small law firm in Huntington Beach which specialized in Adult Dependent Child Support Cases, before returning to Placer County where she accepted an Associate Attorney position at Myers Family Law . Ms. Seki spent over two years with Myers Family Law before starting her own private practice. Now, as the principal attorney at Seki Family Law, Ms. Seki prides herself on leading clients with a balance of compassion and straightforward logic through their most difficult challenges, in areas such as child custody, child support, property disputes, marital dissolutions, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, and more.
