Hi, my name is Emily Shagen, and I am a Legal Assistant here at Holcomb Law.
I am originally from Kent Island, Maryland, where I was born and raised until heading off to college. Craving a change of scenery, I traded the beaches and the bay to the mountains and attended Frostburg State University. I graduated in 2025 with a double major in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies, along with minors in Philosophy, Sociology, Political Science, and Women’s Studies.
I left the mountains and returned to coastal life, this time in Virginia with my fiancé. I enjoy staying busy, whether I’m at home with my fiancé and our two cats, Captain and Koda, or out exploring new places and trying new restaurants. On Sundays, however, you can almost always find me on the couch cheering for the Eagles.
My grandfather always told me, “People before you have done it, people after you are going to do it—there’s no reason why you can’t do it.” His advice has stuck with me and continues to inspire my work ethic and determination. I’m excited for what the future holds here at Holcomb Law and one day I aspire to attend law school.
