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.

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.

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.

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."
