Amazing Representation

Amy Huff-Harris did what every other attorney said was impossible. I battled in court with my abusive, controlling ex-husband for 7 years over visitation, child support etc. I did everything short of begging the judge to get her to understand how dire our situation was to no avail. When I remarried, ...to an enlisted Navy man, my husband and I realized that we needed to hire an attorney if we were going to be able to be free, to keep myself and my son safe and stay together for the next 9 years of his military career. With a military relocation quickly approaching Amy and her team worked tirelessly to get the results we needed. I did endless research about relocating a child out of the state of Massachusetts and what I found was bleak but Amy never hesitated, she knew exactly how to win. It was a long battle, to say the least, and we did end up going to trial. Amy was very methodical about her process. She knew exactly what to bring to the judge and what to leave out. She and her team prepped me well and she left no stone unturned. Before I hired Amy, my son and I lived in fear everyday and now we are free and safe with a multiple year restraining order against my ex. We now live with my amazing husband in a new state because of her and we are no longer living in fear. We are forever grateful. I honestly can’t say enough, she’s amazing.

Amy and her team

Amy and her team have representing for over a year now and will continue to represent me until my kids are grown. Amy and her team fight for the rights of Dads that want to be in the kids life That's just something you don't always see.. Our wins over the year have overlook the losses we have taken. ...Amy and people from her team like Karen have sat and listen to me for some time 45 minutes at a time about my struggles with me ex wife when they didnt have to. Amy and her team have given me great advice they have made a better dad, and have made want to be a better dad. As I have said it has not always been easy for us but we continue to fight. She also help me finically. Working with me cause she know I don't have much to give after what I pay for my child support bills, and debit I am in. Amy and her team are amazing. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do for me and my family.

Integrity, Determination, Steadfast and a Fighter for her Client

Attorney Huff represented me on short notice after being served with a false complaint of contempt by my ex-husband (of 5 years) regarding the visitation situation he had with our minor son. I had less than one week to retain her and get everything in order. The situation was handled with great con...cern, respect and expeditiously by Amy and her staff!!! Not only that but my ex- husband was the one in contempt over several issues including delinquent payments on our marital home and the non payment of child support, harrassment of both myself and our child. Amy countered and made me and my entire family feel well represented and confident that he would not be allowed to do this to us any longer. As well as to make sure that he was made responsible for the monies he owed me per our divorce decree and the child support he owed our child for his well being. Amy cares personally for her client and their extended family. Shestays in touch with me, now six months later to see how I am doing and how my son is. We moved out of state and has represented me on a follow up matter and did so with the same care as if I were standing by her side. Amy is an outstanding knowledgeable attorney who knows what it takes to get the best result possible for her client. She is an asset to the profession and an asset to the type of law she handles wich is oftern very emotional, tumultuous and terrifying at times for those going through it and she is there to hold your hand and guide you with professionalism and sensitivity.

Review for how Amy Huff handled my case

Amy Huff handled my case in a very professional way. She was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the law pertaining to support issues. She never failed to respond to my questions and include me in all decisions made in my case. While never crossing any client/lawyer boundaries, Amy always ma...de me feel comfortable and I always felt she was compassionate and there for me. I feel that the excellent judgement I received by the court was due to Amy's hard work and perseverance. I highly recommend Amy Huff.

Excellent Attorney!

Amy is an aggressive and passionate attorney who has worked diligently for me. My ongoing case which includes child custody, child abuse, child support and visitation issues has been an extremely difficult one with lots of unexpected "emergency" hearings and Amy has always been there for me at the ...drop of a hat. Amy has made me feel as if I am her only client, she is very caring and easily accessible. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a great attorney and I thank God that I have! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a hard working, determined, knowledgeable, dedicated and compassionate attorney who can and WILL fight fearlessly for them.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I opposed Amy on one of her first cases. I thought her to be fair yet zealous in representing her client. Subsequently I have had occassion to discuss cases with her and I am impressed with her dedication and professionalism. She can evaluate a case realistically and represent her client's interests vigorously."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 10

Relationship: Co-worker

"When I first met Amy Huff, she spoke of how passionate she is towards "fathers' rights." While it sounded good in theory, I had not seen the action behind those words. Now, almost a full year later, I can tell you that Amy Huff is the LAST LAWYER I would want on the other side of a case. While she is reasonable and insists on nothing less than a 50-50 settlement, when she doesn't get what she wants, she has such a ferocious reputation in court that we've heard that she is known as "Jaws" in the different courtrooms in Mass. -- especially when she represents fathers."
