ATTORNEY, SAGE LEGAL GROUP

Emily A. Hall (formerly Emily A. Tercilla) focuses her law practice on estate planning, elder law, family law, and estate and trust administration.

Emily is originally from Miami, Florida, but chose Wisconsin to become her home after attending Marquette University Law School.  Emily received her undergraduate degree in Spanish and Political Science from the University of Florida in 2014, and she received her J.D. from Marquette University Law School in 2017.

As an estate planner, Emily assists her clients with creating a comprehensive estate plan, including revocable trusts, wills, marital property agreements, powers of attorney, HIPAA waivers, and special needs trusts. 

Emily’s elder law practice focuses on assisting clients with long-term care asset protection planning and special needs trusts.  In addition, she helps families navigate the adult guardianship process for special needs children turning 18 years old, and elderly or disabled adults in need of guardianship. 

Emily’s family law practice includes contested divorce and paternity cases, collaborative divorce, and prenuptial agreements. Understanding the sensitive nature of family law issues, she can offer her clients support and empathy through the process. 

Emily approaches her estate administration with care and compassion and helps families through non-contested estate administration.
