Having practiced family law for over a quarter of a century, I have experienced changes in the law and changes in marriages and relationships. There is no cookie cutter divorce or breakup. The unique personalities and facts of each case require attention to detail and creativity in order to reach a fair resolution, not only for the litigants but also for the children.
During a divorce or break-up, it is often difficult to distinguish whether a position is coming from the head or the heart, as emotions are understandably running high. This is why having an experienced advocate in your corner, who can serve as the voice of reason and practicality, can help avoid irreparable damage.

Soft Yet Strong "Getting Things Done" Lawyer

Exceptional Legal Representation
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found Amy as my attorney. After a disastrous experience with a previous attorney who was unresponsive and seemed more interested in billing me than helping, Amy was a breath of fresh air.

#1 Lawyer
Where do I begin? I had two divorce lawyers prior to Amy. My case is complex. She got me where I need to be, in half the time of the other 2 lawyers that made no progress. She came highly recommended from a family member. Best decision I've made! She's a freight train that is speeding to the ligh...
