About Emerald Law Group Advocates. Defenders. Pioneers.

My name is Stephanie Smith. I am currently enrolled at Oaksterdam University and I was in the class you gave last night about “knowing your rights”. I want to thank you for your time, and for providing such an informative, important service to our class.

The legal and political aspects of the class interest me the most, so your class was the best, most practical one as far as I’m concerned.

Thank you again for your time and for the excellent class last night. I hope our paths cross again, provided that I’m not your client when that happens ;). Have a wonderful day.

I really enjoy working with Edie and find her to be friendly and knowledgeable in Industry-related affairs. She works well with State and Local agencies and got all my cases dismissed.

I could not have asked for a better attorney. Her knowledge of California’s medical marijuana laws is impressive. I personally had never seen a district attorney cry in a hearing before Kali had taken my case, but she is amazing.

​I always felt welcome in the office and felt like I could call at any time to have my questions and concerns met. The amount of time and effort placed into my case is beyond comparison. Thank you Kali.

Edie handled my case like a champ and I could not have asked for a better result. She got my case tossed, listened to my story, and always cheered me up.

Kali worked tirelessly for almost two years on my husbands behalf after an unbelievable amount of red tape and feet dragging on the part of CoCo County.

She was an absolute pit bull in court and was professional, courteous and passionate. We ultimately beat the case which was a hard won victory. I couldn’t imagine a better person to help you in your time of need. We owe her our freedom.

I got busted and did not think I stood a chance, Edie calmed me down and walked me through the whole process. Though I was certain I was going to be in jail for a long time, Edie made arrangements for me to have a short electronic monitoring and probationary period and other than my arrest I never did another day in jail.

Kali is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and efficient lawyers in her class. She not only handled my case with the most whole hearted dedication, but she also was kind and personable in the process.

​Kali is willing to not only follow through on every detail, she is willing to take the time to explain the proceedings to set your mind at ease. I can’t think of anything I would have liked to have happen that didn’t. Lawyers are there through tough times.

You have to find one you can trust! Kali Grech is everything, and more, that I could have expected and asked for in a representative!

Kali,​ I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation today at Oaksterdam… you did an excellent job of presenting the legal issues in an accessible and fun way.

I was pulled over speeding through Laytonville just outside the hog farm on my way to Reggae on the River, tickets in hand. Allegedly with 500 edibles which they said were packaged for sale and almost 3 lbs of herb and a scale, Edie got my charges dropped and my weed and my chocolates back from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s office.

I hired Kali after hearing what a great law team Pier 5 was regarding Medical Marijuana law. From the moment I hired Mrs. Perkins, my mind was put at ease. She did extensive research on my case and was able to help me to resolve my case in my favor. I had met with so many lawyers who either were charging far too much or were promising too good to be true services.

​ With Kali, I was met with honesty and care and it was more than affordable compared to other law teams. She helped me understand my case and was truly working hard for me the entire time. She believed in my case and genuinely fights for her clients.

Kali was an awesome attorney for me in my time of need. I had never been in legal trouble and was terrified and she had a very natural way of putting me at ease. She was someone I could honestly confide in. I will always be extremely grateful for the outcome she got for me – CASE DROPPED!

Not only a brilliant attorney when it comes to negotiations and strategy but also compassionate regarding human circumstances.

I’ve known her for almost 20 years and she has served my family’s best interests with 100% integrity.

I would not hesitate for an instant to recommend Edie’s services.

Kali helped my partner get a miraculous outcome to his incarceration situation. She was a constant source of support, very available, and kind-hearted.

​ At every court appearance, other lawyers seemed to regard her very highly and congratulated and reassured us on our choice of attorneys.

​ I always recommend her to others in need.

I would confidently recommend Kali to anybody looking for an attorney in her field of expertise. I was referred to pier 5 after I had hired another attorney who neither had the capability or the drive to handle my case properly. Kali was quite the opposite.

​Through hard work and skill she achieved a very positive outcome for me. I am very thankful.

​I was caught, I thought red handed. Edie helped me through the process proving my innocence even to me. Helped me see things in a different light and made sure the prosecution and the judge saw it that way as well.

Edie has helped my family through some tough times. She is always there to listen and never judged me when I felt others were.

I felt that she had me and my family’s interests at heart and would always recommend what she felt was best for us given our complicated situation.

She had a great understanding of complicated facts and has continued to help us run our business with integrity and success.

I’ve had Kali help me on two occasions and been completely satisfied with her work for me. Sharp and quick on the uptake.

Edie is one of the smartest ladies I know. Always working hard for her clients, working hard for me when I needed her. I witnessed her getting people’s money back, and cases dismissed or walk away without large blemishes on their records in cases that would have landed people in the penitentiary.

I have been a client of Edie’s for a year and a half. I have found that Edie is incredibly intelligent, creative and totally honest. She has a very human quality in her speaking and always makes me feel good and comfortable.

I have 100% trust in her and everybody in her office is top shelf. Best law firm there is. Having her on my side is priceless. I highly recommend her and her firm.

Just want to give a shout out to the Emerald Law Firm for a job well done!
The Emerald Law Group, spearheaded by Kali Perkins, provide stellar legal representation on my behalf with clear guidance and help me reach the best possible outcome in my cannabis criminal case.

Kali was able to get me a plea bargain whereby I paid no restitution, no jail time, nor probation. Instead I received a sentence of 1 day of county time which I did not have to serve. I was booked and release and that was the resolution and final outcome of my case.
​
My gratitude goes to the whole team at the Emerald Law Firm!

“Facts are facts. The only thing — counsel did a very good job, because the rap sheet shows that burglary is a residential burglary. So she did a good job of finding the documentation and bringing it to me. And I agreed her documentation showed that it had been misreported in San Diego as a residential burglary, which would have changed the whole dynamics of this if it had been a strike.”

I couldn’t have asked for better representation when I was served in my family law case. Kali truly LOVES what she does and it shows. She not only had to deal with nasty emails from opposing counsel but she made them know who she was every step of the way with her “kill’em with kindness” attitude and always stayed classy and professional.
​
My case was so complicated, full of so many inconsistencies and flat out lies that seemed never ending and as if it were all over the map but she was always so organized and went above and beyond to make sure everything was being brought to light. As a single mother of 3 the feeling of helplessness doesn’t begin to explain the feelings I was facing on a daily basis, and every phone call, text or email was so terrifying but she always assured me that I was not alone and she would not give up unless I let her. I could not be more thankful to Kali and Edie for being my guardian angels when I was being attacked from behind. Not only did she get the judge to grant me Physical custody but she also made sure my daughter would receive the Child support she deserves along with getting opposing counsel to pay a portion of my attorney’s fees.

Thank you so much again Kali! xoxo

I am here to tell you that Emerald Law Group rocked.
I thought it would be no big deal when I got pulled over with a tiny box of samples in Ukiah. Dang, was I wrong.
I guess the days of a small amount of weed being a non-issue are done.
Remember don’t let them look at anything in your vehicle, they are not your friends and will say whatever
they want to get a case on you! Even if you have a Distro Permit!!!
All the Folks at Emerald were super professional and really knew their business.
I would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Looking for an attorney?

Let me just say if you are thinking about retaining an attorney, I can’t say enough about the Emerald Law Group. Their team was very professional, detailed and concise. Their communication with me was very easy and understandable while handling my civil case. Kali was exceptional in my Deposition in my case. So again, if you are looking for a good attorney with a great team, Emerald Group is it.
