About Emily M.
Emily M. Walker combines legal training from Hawaii with an undergraduate background in psychology. She earned her J.D. at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Those two institutions helped shape a practitioner comfortable in both the legal and human dimensions of client work.
She works in Hawaii and is admitted to practice there. After law school she entered private practice and took a position as an associate lawyer at Bickerton Law Group LLLP. In that role she has handled matters typical of a busy firm practice, assisting senior attorneys, conducting legal research, drafting pleadings and motions, and meeting with clients to prepare case strategies.
Her undergraduate study in psychology informs how she approaches client interviews and case assessment. She has said that understanding how people think and communicate makes it easier to listen for the facts that matter. That perspective also helps when explaining legal options to clients who may be facing stressful circumstances.
At Bickerton Law Group LLLP she works alongside more senior lawyers and support staff. Her duties have included preparing legal documents, participating in discovery, and supporting courtroom preparation. Colleagues describe her work as steady and exacting. She contributes to case preparation and helps manage the flow of client matters through the office.
Outside of firm responsibilities she remains connected to the local legal community in Hawaii. Her education at the Richardson School of Law and prior degree from UCLA position her to handle the procedural and interpersonal elements of practice in the state. As of 2026 she serves as an associate lawyer at Bickerton Law Group LLLP and practices law in Hawaii as part of that firm.
