Very professional

Amy handled our parental rights and responsibilities case. She drew up a petition to the court within a few days of us speaking with her. She worked hard to get the paperwork served across state lines and would follow up with the sheriffs and courts when things weren’t moving as quickly as expected. ...She was very accurate with record keeping and made herself available for phone calls, drop-ins to her office, or emails. I would definitely hire her again if needed, thank you Amy!

The Very Best Representation

Amy represented me during my very traumatic divorce. Her efficiency and professionalism in handling my case, made the process much less painful. She listens and works to understand. She is empathetic, kind and at the same time a very strong force to be reckoned with. I felt confident and comfortabl...e knowing she had my very best interest in mind. She was vey accessible, promptly answered questions, dispelled doubts/fears and delivered everything she promised. I listened to her counsel and did everything she recommended. My divorce was finalized so quickly and I am very grateful.

Do yourself a favor and hire Amy as your first attorney

Amy is very professional and treats you like family. I was going through very tough times as I hired a different attorney prior and that was going nowhere but spending more money and causing conflict with my ex and myself. Once changing to Amy I felt much more secure she was the right choice. Any qu...estion or concerns were answered timely and direct. She went above and beyond what I could ever ask for. Amy isn’t the type to drag your case on to make more money off of you . She is looking to do what’s best for your family and come to an agreement that works for everyone. I am happy to say my divorce is over and my ex and myself are still friends which is important when children are involved. Even after my case was over she was still very helpful and answered every question I asked. Thank you for not only helping me but my family as whole!!!

if i had to go through it again, i would want amy on my side

amy is a kind, intuitive person with a sharp intellect. her compassion, patience and experience made her the perfect person to help me through a traumatizing divorce as it unfolded. amy repeatedly handled interactions with the court, the opposing attorney and my now-ex. she explained what was happeni...ng with the divorce process as it unfolded, offered suggestions and resources available to me as a newly single mom, and continues to answer my questions when they come up. I couldn't have asked for a better ally and advocate, and highly recommend amy robidas, especially for anyone in a divorce when kids are involved.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
