Experienced, strategic, and compassionate

Amy and her team are simply outstanding ! From the initial consultation and throughout my case I always felt that my needs were met and the firm was genuinely dedicated to achieving the best outcome. Amy was easily accessible and got back to me quickly. Amy's experience and strategic approach provide...d a result that exceeded my expectations . Amy Weisberg, her associates, and staff provided quality and compassion that are second to none. During difficult times throughout my case Amy maintained a calm, calculated approach which offered me great reassurance.

Divorce and Custody

I went with my son for a consultation with Amy. We decided to retain her and are very happy that we did. She was well prepared for court and we are very pleased with the results. She is not only compassionate, but also very knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend her.

World class professionalism!

I retained Amy to represent me in my divorce hearing. Her level of professionalism, expertise and availability far exceeded my expectations. She communicated with me directly during the entire process putting my nerves at ease. I would highly recommend Amy for your legal needs!

An uphill battle worth the wait!!

After going to court and the Judge ordering me to pay my now ex-wife, $2,500 in child and spousal support, I appealed my case and retained Amy. From day one she was honest and told me that it would be an uphill battle for me to go from a shared custody situation to one where I'd have physical custody... of my daughter. There was a lot of paperwork involved and the process itself was extremely long and frustrating! I will admit there were times that I didn't 100% agree with the direction my case was headed, but I trusted Amy and followed her advice. Her assistant, Stacy is ONE OF A KIND!! Whenever I called or stopped by the office to talk about my case, she always made time to listen to my concerns and was instrumental in the overall outcome I received~SOLE CUSTODY of my daughter!! Without a doubt, this has been one of the most emotionally draining experiences I've ever had to deal with in my life and I couldn't have gotten through it without the patience, professionalism, knowledge and experience of Amy and Stacy. For that.... my daughter and I will forever be grateful!

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.
