About Emily

Emily Vener-Giszter, Esquire, practices family law in Media, PA, and throughout Delaware, Philadelphia, Montgomery, and Chester Counties. As a trained and licensed Psychotherapist, Ms. Vener’s goal is to diligently meet her client’s needs in the most supportive and least adversarial way possible. She seeks to limit the negative and painful aftermath of divorce and to protect children and families professionally and with compassion.

As a trained neutral Divorce and Custody Mediator, Emily can help families settle disputes. Family law issues that can be resolved through mediation include child custody, co-parenting, equitable distribution and support. Most often, mediation will save time and money. Mediation is confidential. Unlike litigation, mediation preserves the dignity of the family. Most importantly, family law mediation allows families increased control over their future and helps to protect children from the harmful consequences of parental conflict.
