This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Intelligent, hard-working and reasonable

Amy Jane represented me on an estate matter. I found her to be well-informed as to the law, And hard-working and diligent. For example, instead of filing papers by using a lawyer service, she would personally go down to the Surrogate's Court and interface with the staff. This helped matters immeasura...bly. Her fees are reasonable, and she is one of those rare lawyers who truly loves what she is doing.

Fantastic Attorney; Fantastic Results.

Amy Jane was amazingly helpful in resolving an an insurance issue for my father and I. She was able to guide us through a complicated process and achieved a fantastic result. My father drives a car service and his car was totaled, so he was out of work and was getting nowhere with the insurance compa...ny. Amy Jane took on his case and helped work out an arrangement with the insurer that saw my father receive full compensation for the value of his car, his lost wages and an additional amount to cover other expenses within five weeks of the accident. Amy Jane was patient, dedicated and extremely responsive. I have recommended her repeatedly to co-workers and others looking for representation.

Extremely thoughtful and careful attorney

Ms. Agnew provided advice and drafting assistance with respect to a commercial referral agreement. She fully researched the relevant legal issues and drafted a well-written agreement very efficiently and provided sound advice on negotiations.

I hired AJ based on a personal recommendation. AJ is very professional and has a huge support network. She worked extremely hard for us and is extremely compassionate. I would absolutely recommend her and feel extremely fortunate to have had her help and extensive knowledge.

Professional and Determined

Amy Jane worked with our daughter's school administration to resolve a dispute. She provided outstanding counsel and support during one of the most stressful situations of our lives, and our daughter receved a favorable and fair outcome because of her professionalism and dogged determination on our ...behalf. It was as if she were fighting for her own child's rights, and we are forever grateful.
