Great Attorney!

Amy was helpful, knowledgeable and always there to answer questions. She kept my best interest in mind and worked with the adversary very well. She was well spoken in court and was sensitive to my issues. I would highly recommend her.

The right direction

For 4 years Amy Sauter has stood by my daughter and I, because I've needed her to. I've needed to save, restore, and develop my relationship with my special needs daughter since her birth because of constant bad faith opposition. I needed protection during 3 trials – a restraining order attempt, a na...me change attempt, and 4 years of ongoing custody issues all facing the same single opposition (using different angles as the system allowed her to) which has attempted to take away the time my child shares with me. That opposition has used 4 separate attorneys in her attempts. 5 different judges have needed to be involved – who have appointed 3 different PCs, many evaluators, and an outstanding Guardian Ad Litem. And, no matter what help this seemingly unending evaluation process gave to my daughter and I, the opposition kept fighting against it, and in continuing violation of the dozens of court orders that needed to be written. Through all this complication, Amy needed to find a way that the truth could be heard to ultimately dismiss the restraining order, to save the name I share with my daughter, and to progressively increase our time together, and even to assure that my daughter could get the best education available to her – also met with vicious opposition. Amy made sure that my daughter's life, and mine together with her, is facing the right direction. I never thought I'd need this kind of help and protection in my life or this emotional mess – I'll always be grateful for Amy being there for us, with Diane and Amy's entire staff, guiding me through it. Thank you.

Family lawyer | Oct 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have just finished a case with Amy. She is knowlegeable and practical. She advocated for her client and also advised him what the law was and allowed him to make his own decisions where he was willing to be more generous to my client and pushed back where he was not. We finished the entire divorce quickly and amicably as the parties wanted it done. The paperwork was prepared and exchanged promptly and both of our clients were satisfied with the process."

  • 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.
