Amy Huff-Harris, once again, got the job done.

I recently retained the legal services of Long, Hagan, Huff-Harris of Boston. This was my third time working with the firm and I was extremely happy with the final outcome. The circumstances of my case were not very pleasant and painful in nature. However, Attorney Amy Huff-Harris and her talented... legal team were able to quickly assess my situation, understand the challenges presented, and formulate a strategy to achieve my requested objectives. When I decided to change course and pursue a different outcome than originally intended, Amy thoughtfully and skillfully provided me with the pro’s/con’s of the new direction so I was fully aware of potential challenges and negative ramifications of the change. However, at no point did she make any decisions for me. Throughout the entire case, I felt in total control and that the final decisions were mine to make. Amy and her team provided me with the information I needed to make the best possible decision in the end, even if it was against their own legal recommendations. Attorney Erica Trask kept in close contact with me while serving on my behalf in court. She kept me informed at every stage of the proceedings and checked in with me frequently throughout the day and late into the evenings if needed. Whenever I had a question, she was always available to respond and provide quick feedback. There was never a moment where I felt out of touch, lacking information, or the status of an issue. She was very easy to work with and I felt like she truly empathized with my situation and fought hard for my best interests. This was my first experience working with Erica and was very happy with her work. I also would like to highlight Karen Gordon for the tremendous level of support she provided. Karen helped facilitate the many discussions and compile the information required which allowed my case to proceed. I have worked with Karen previously and thoroughly enjoyed working with her again. Her commitment to my case was unquestionable and I knew whatever direction I wanted to go in, she would be there to help me execute the plan. Finally, it’s important to note that while the case circumstances shall remain confidential, the potential for permanent irreparable damages was real. Amy and her team helped me see what an end-state would like based on my decisions. There were time-sensitive decisions that required late nights and long hours but that didn’t deter Amy and her team’s progress. While I was worried everything would be resolved in time, the team assured me they would do everything in their power to meet the deadline and ensure a successful outcome, which they did. Now with the case resolved in my favor, I can say confidently that the efforts of Amy and her team were well worth it. It’s a night and day difference from beginning to end and I owe it all to Amy Huff-Harris and her amazing team. Thank you Amy.

Helped me through a difficult divorce

Amy Huff-Harris helped me through a difficult divorce. She was professional and really focused on sticking up for my rights. She kept in mind what was good for my kids throughout the process. I am happy with the settlement that she and her team negotiated.

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.

Best Divorce attorney in Boston

Amy is like a sweet fairy with court accepted brutality that will leave no way for the opposing party but to succumb to reason and fairness. She’s got her feet rooted in justice and will not budge an inch without getting you complete and reasonable justice. BTW, Amy’s got a fantastic team. Prompt a...nd very helpful. All this sort of exceptional service might sound too good to come without a heavy price tag. I might have been fortunate to obtain all this while earning a very moderate income. Look no further! If you are looking for a divorce attorney, go hire Amy before your spouse does! She is prompt, experienced, highly knowledgeable, and eloquent. She will pour into the details of the case, and learn it to such an extent that she will know it better than yourself. Once you hire her, and give her all the necessary details, you can relax and be the passenger on her ship. Amy and her crew will guide you through the turbulent waters till you get the justice, settlement agreement and divorce that you deserve.

Custody case

I hired Amy and her colleagues to help me gain full custody of my son last year. Amy and Elizabeth worked very hard to prepare a well thought out and solid case to present to the courts for me. I was very impressed with the effort and even more satisfied with the outcome. Amy and Liz brought me confi...dence and peace of mind In this stressful point in my life. I have recently retained her services again and I do not doubt the outcome will be favorable.

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."
