Excellent and honest

Amy is an honest and committed lawyer. I am very satisfied with the way she explains the process and, above all, how human she is in understanding the suffering of those who come to her for legal help.

"While I was working in the Government Sector, I had the pleasure of attending a workshop Amy gave on Immigration Law. I learned a great deal about the process and the collateral consequences that the criminal and traffic cases can have on someone's status. It truly was an eye opener and interested me in a different practice area. I endorse her for any/all immigration matters."

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.
