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.

Consummate Professional
Having consulted with a few different attorneys regarding a family court matter, it was extremely evident during a consultation with Amy that she was dialed in and was a true professional.

Knowledgeable, compassionate, and responds quickly

Amy's warmth and reassurance at the consult provided me with the confidence to hire her, and I have no regrets.

Thank you so very much.

Excellent lawyer!
Amy is excellent! I hired her after spending almost an hour in my consultation going through and explaining the process and possible scenarios in a divorce.
