Emily Koning (she/her) joined Family Legal Advocacy Group, LLC (FLAG) in September 2022 as a Senior Attorney.
Emily graduated from Marshall University, magna cum laude, in 2010, and then from the University of Baltimore School of Law, cum laude, in 2013. During law school, Emily interned for the Honorable Kendra Y. Ausby in the Family Division of the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, and for the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, Child in Need of Assistance Division. Emily represented clients in divorce, custody, and protective orders cases as a student attorney in the school’s Family Law Clinic. She was also a member of the University of Baltimore Law Review. After graduation, Emily clerked for a Family Law Magistrate in Baltimore City. Since then, she has practiced Family Law almost exclusively, in numerous jurisdictions in Maryland.
Emily believes that clients should be treated like people, not like “cases.” People need to feel heard and respected; they should not just be ushered through a legal process. When your case ends, you should feel like you understood the process, that you had all the information you needed to make decisions, and that your advocate knew your priorities and goals.
In each case, Emily’s priorities are her client’s priorities. Clients’ goals are specific to their complex, individual situations. There is no one size fits all approach. What happens in your case may differ from what happened in your cousin’s divorce case or what happened in your friend’s child support case—and that’s okay. Your attorney should help you achieve your goals, not someone else’s goals.
Emily resides in Baltimore County with her husband and children. She enjoys home improvement projects and spending time with family and friends.

Meek and Mild She Is Not - Hire This Fighter
I highly recommend Emily (and the FLAG firm) if you’re looking for a divorce attorney and practice that genuinely cares. She helped me navigate a very complex and stressful two-year process, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. From the start, she took the time to understand my situation and explained everything clearly, making sure I knew my options at every step. She gave great advice and fought hard to protect my interests. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, calm, and supportive, which really helped me stay focused and confident. I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and highly recommend her to anyone going through a tough divorce.

Highly Recommend
Emily was a wonderful attorney to work with, and I highly recommend her services. Throughout my divorce and custody case, I felt supported, and she consistently communicated with all parties involved. She was consistently professional and provided multiple unique ideas for approaching complex situations, and her strategies worked out great in my case. Emily was extremely organized and remembered the intricate details of my case, even during periods of inactivity due to court timelines and the other party involved. When speaking with Emily, she gave her undivided attention, making me feel that she genuinely cared about me and my family. She had a great ability to clearly explain legal precedents and family law in a way that was easy for me to understand as a non-legal professional. Her advice was clear and insightful, yet she never pressured me, which fostered a great attorney-client relationship. I cannot recommend Emily enough, and I am incredibly grateful to have had her on my side during this time.
