Posted by anonymous | March 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Totally Unprepared

I had three different attorney's during my divorce and she was the worse by far. During a hearing she was actually asking me what questions she should ask the witness. Was totally unprepared. To add insult to injury tried to double charge for her time. Due to her I missed 3 months with my children de...spite a court order saying I should have them every other week. Was prepared to offer less time with my children than a court order that was already in place. Once I changed attorneys their first course of action was to fix the mess created by Amy by reinstating an order that was already in place. In my opinion I would stay away from her at all cost.

Dear Anonymous, I have read your review and would like to respond to same accordingly. Since you have chosen to remain anonymous, I cannot respond specifically based on your case. However, I always ask my clients what questions they would like me to ask during a hearing so that they can have input and be involved. This by no means makes me unprepared. Additionally, I would never double charge for my time. I believe my bills are fair and if you had a problem with my bill you should have come to me to discuss your issues and I would work with you to come to a resolution instead of posting anonymously on a website. Again, not knowing the real situation puts me at a disadvantage in responding to your accusations. Had you come to me personally, we could have worked out these issues. I pride myself on treating people fairly. Amy Sauter

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."
