Very personable and effective

LHH has greatly helped me over the years with clarifications of my separation agreement, which is a 50/50 agreement. The team at LHH qs very responsive to phone calls and took the time needed to listen to my concerns. I find that they are a strong advocate for my parental rights and are very effect...ive in the courtroom setting. I continue to use them to assist me in my custody issues.

Amazing

I hired Amy A. Huff-Harris for my divorce having Amy as my attorney made it less stressful . Her and her team were very focused and kind all the time. Amy and her team always responded to emails and phone calls at a timely manner as well. I would highly recommend Amy A. Huff-Harris !

Unprofessional Law firm

he worst decision of my life was to hire This law firm and especially attorney Amy to represent me at the most crucial case of my life. I would grade attorney Amy as low achievers whose primary focus is her financial interest rather than fighting justice for you. Her moto - maximum billing with ...minimum work. In addition, I found attorney Amy as someone whose attention span is low and struggles to remember details and even will tremble in the court room against opposing counsel.( I have first hand experience of this). She lied to me and backed out from her words on multiple occasions. she even contradicted herself over email. When i pointed it out she stopped responding. Finally when I realized that she has no conscious I fired her and thank God that I was able to find a new able attorney who worked hard and got me justice. It is my prime duty to publish her report card and let you all decide in a scale of 10 , 10 being highest : Integrity 0/10 , Honesty 0/10, Truthful (0/10) , billing ( Double or misleading entries) ( 3/10) . Professionalism 2/10. In case you end up hiring her then I would suggest to keep the following in mind: 1. If She calls you while she is driving ( she usually calls while driving because she want to make money while she is driving) then cover the conversation over email and ensure that she does not charge you for the reading of email or tell her that you will talk only when you have her full attention. 2.Docuemnt each and every conversation over email - do not rely on her verbal suggestions or commitments, as she will deny it if needed throwing you under the bus. 3. do your own research of the process and ( do not trust what she says) ask her questions and request an email as her response. 4. Keep log of every call and email you send and cross verify the bill ( every month) as you might see multiple duplicate entries, also these entries could appear few months down the line- Tell her that you would be recording conversations for your records. 5. Her office will always connect with you at the last hour for information, please make it clear that you need few days to give them information before the court date. 6.Before hiring her ask for the data of how many case she have won v/s settled in last 5 years. if you bring this review with her and she tries to tell you a story then tell her that why don't you have a public debate with this person as i will be more than happy to have a public debate as why i am posting this review. I hope this review helps you in finding what you are looking for . @dadforjustice1

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.

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."
