The right attorney is key....

They say divorce is ugly, daunting and overwhelming, all true! That is why having the right attorney is key. My choice to have Amy Sauter of Pescatore and Sauter represent me is what helped get me through my extremely difficult and contentious divorce. Amy Sauter is experienced, well respected, p...atient, empathetic towards her client's concerns and compassionate. She is measured in her approach, yet aggressive when the situation calls for it. If you are contemplating divorce and want to speak with an attorney who will walk with you through the entire process, you owe it yourself and your future to set up a consultation with Amy Sauter. Amy will personally handle your divorce with the same devotion and dedication from start to finish. She will do what it takes to get you through the process. Whether it be an email or phone call or a last minute meeting, Amy will never leave you feeling abandoned. You and your case are her priority and she and her team will reassure you and put you at ease during the many stressful and difficult times. Amy is very conscious not to have you spend your money needlessly. Her goal is to resolve matters as quickly and efficiently as possible with the least economic impact. Sometimes, this is not always possible but it is her first choice. Her patience and attention to detail is so valuable, especially when having to explain the divorce process and all the legal issues. This is so needed to help you stay educated, focused and ultimately divorced with the best possible outcome. Divorce is absolutely awful! There is nothing easy or nice about the process. I could not imagine going through it without Amy by my side.

An Amazing Advocate

Amy was the most wonderful attorney I could have ever asked for. When I was served with the divorce papers I was utterly stunned and in shambles. I did not know what to do or where to turn. After I had a consultation with Amy (on the recommendation of several friends themselves attorneys) I felt l...ike I could breath again. At that very first meeting Amy outlined a plan for moving forward. We highlighted what was important to me, what goals I had, what compromises I would be willing to make, and thus even though I felt like my divorce began with me on the back foot, it soon felt very manageable and under control. Amy handled everything from start to finish like a superstar. She was always well prepared, available to answer my (often numerous calls), and she was not once stumped by the judge or the other attorney. From that very first meeting I placed my faith in her and it was repaid one hundred times over. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone (and certainly have been)!

A truly outstanding attorney, perhaps the best divorce lawyer in Bergen County

I came to Amy in shambles. My previous attorney was terrible and had screwed up my case to the point that I thought I would completely lose custody of my child and be forced to give up my home and everything I had worked for. Amy fought tooth and nail in this uphill battle. She handled the case ...aggressively, she handled it compassionately, and ultimately, she earned me a result I never thought possible. Amy came recommended to me by numerous people in the area. She was there for me whenever I would call, she would explain every option, every proceeding, and was also there to talk me down from the ledge several times when I thought I was losing it. I completely disagree with any reviewers that say she was unprepared! She would walk me through every hearing, she would stay at the office late to meet with me when I would finish work, and would even call me back late at night or on weekends if a custody issue arose. Because of Amy I now have a wonderful relationship with my daughter, and my child support and alimony obligations are completely reasonable and manageable. I would recommend Amy to anyone and everyone. Her fees are reasonable, especially considering that she is truly an amazing attorney (and charges less than comparable attorneys in the area). It is also worth mentioning that she worked with me on my bill, regularly lowering it when I would have a bad month (I work in sales). I am forever grateful for Amy and her staff (specifically Diane and Michelle). My life wouldn't be the same had it not been for them.

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."
