Amy is great!

Amy was super helpful during a very difficult time going through a rough custody battle. She was always checking on me and making sure all of our ducks were in a row. Amy was always prompt when I needed to reach out to her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable and caring attorney.

Very helpful and respectful!!

I was recommended to Ms. Owen by a friend and I was not disappointed. I went into this not knowing how the divorce process worked and from day one she took the time to explain in detail how everything would go. She took the time to answer any questions i had and made sure nothing was left unknown. I ...was never left in the dark or wondering what was going to happen next. The communication between Ms. Owen and her team was always on point. They kept me up to date no matter what. I would highly recommend Ms. Owen. I can’t thank her and her team enough for all they have done for me.

Highly Recommended!

Highly recommend Amy Owen. As a lesbian couple, my wife and I searched for a LGBT friendly attorney who would help us with all legal matters pertaining to having a child, Amy was recommended, was highly regarded, and did not disappoint. She was extremely friendly throughout the process and understand...ing of not only our incessive need to ask questions but met that need with quick and efficient responses which put our hearts at ease. Amy, thank you for the role you played in bringing our family together, we will be back for our second child and will be recommending you to anybody we possibly can!

Top Notch

Amy well versed, and is no nonsense and direct. She handles your case and keeps in touch when necessary. In our family's case, she took the time to discuss our options thoroughly, then took direction from us as to how we wanted to proceed. Amy stood her ground given the circumstances of the case a...nd it was concluded favorably for us rather quickly. We highly recommend Amy.

Wonderful Attorney

I was assigned to Amy after my other lawyer left the practice. I was so pleased with Amy for getting my divorce done after the other one dragged her feet. I felt Amy gave me her time when needed and was very caring and explained everything to me when I didn't understand some things. I would recomm...end Amy to anyone who needs a divorce. Thank you Amy!!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
