Emily R. Spitzer

Emily R. Spitzer is an Associate Attorney practicing in Rupp Pfalzgraf LLC's Divorce & Family Law and Immigration practice groups. Ms. Spitzer sees a lot of overlap in these fields and loves figuring out creative solutions to these challenging matters:

"In my practice doing divorce, family, and immigration law, my greatest asset is always my creative problem-solving skills. No two families, businesses, or individuals are exactly alike, so a boilerplate roadmap to achieving your goal simply isn’t going to cut it. Your solutions should be designed with you and your life in mind, so I dedicate the time to learning those details that will guide me in crafting and arriving at the best possible outcome for you. I pride myself on navigating my clients through the complex labyrinth that is the court and agency system with the support they need to successfully move forward in this next chapter of their lives."

Ms. Spitzer received her Juris Doctorate from Case Western Reserve University School of Law, graduating cum laude and on the Dean’s Honor List. Additional school recognition also includes the Jacob Hecht Pro Bono Graduating Student of the Year Award, the Hugo Grotius International Law Scholarship and the Cox International Law Center Fellowship.
