Amir Stark has nearly two decades of experience as a seasoned trial attorney and is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Amir’s background in complex litigation provides him with a unique skill-set in the family law courtroom. His reputation for intelligent, passionate advocacy and detailed preparation precedes his frequent court appearances where he represents clients in high-conflict custody trials, protection from abuse cases, and all other family law matters.
Amir grew up in the Philadelphia area but left for the mountain west to attend the University of Utah, where he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy. After college and a brief career in the ski industry, Amir moved back to his roots on the east coast and earned a Juris Doctorate from Widener University School of Law. Amir began his legal career in class action practice but ultimately found his calling in family law.
Amir’s advocacy changes outcomes. He connects with clients at their worst time of crisis and earns trust through compassion and consistency. Amir patiently and thoroughly learns the client’s needs and helps to develop well-reasoned expectations. Through open and honest communication, a game plan materializes that Amir carries out with deft and precision.
In addition to trial advocacy, Amir has authored various appellate briefs and has argued before the Superior Court of Pennsylvania as well as having litigated Children & Youth expunction appeals before the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
Amir has been recognized for his knowledge and experience, particularly in matters involving elements of abuse, and is frequently called upon to provide lectures and training in this area of the law. Amir has been recognized by the bench and his peers for his work in the community and is a recipient of the prestigious Arthur B. Walsh Pro Bono Publico Award. Amir is active in participation and leadership roles at the Bucks County Bar Association, Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania and A Woman’s Place where he serves on the Board of Directors.
Outside of the courtroom, Amir and his wife are raising two wonderful young women in Bucks County. Amir is also an avid outdoorsman with a particular passion for skiing, cycling, and all things involving salt water.

Amir will not act in your best interests
I hired Amir to represent my best interests and I feel he did not come anywhere close to achieving that goal. Focusing on the one major aspect that he neglected to follow through with his strong legal conviction that a particular outcome would be probable, he neglected to invite me into the support c...
Dear Mike, I sympathize with your frustration concerning the outcome of your support matter. Support orders in Pennsylvania are awarded pursuant to a Statewide guideline based on each individual party's income rather than their expenses. Sometimes, as in your case, a person who works hard to earn a living is punished while their unemployed spouse is rewarded. This is frustrating but it is the reality of the domestic relations law which we must navigate. As for conference procedures such as whether parties or only their attorneys enter the room where the support conference is taking place, that is left solely to the discretion of the domestic relations officer on a case-by-case basis. However, I am truly sorry if you felt disenfranchised from the process by having to wait outside. One of my main goals as a family law attorney is to set proper expectations by educating my clients on how the law applies to their particular circumstances. If I ever failed in that regard, then for that I am truly sorry and will strive to do better in the future.

"Amir and I first met as opposing attorneys in a case. He was highly professional, straight talking and good to deal with because of that. We have since seen each other in court on many occasions. He is knowledgeable in the law, deals straight up, is generous with his time and is very well respected in the legal community. I highly recommend him. Fred R, Esq."
"Amir is an excellent attorney. He combines a sharp knowledge of substantive law and procedure with a passion for justice. I am very happy to endorse him."
