The Absolute Best

I needed legal counsel in regards to my case. Amy not only found a very important part of legal advice that worked for me, but provided the counsel and representation needed to go before a judge and get the legal act I was entitled to applied to my case. In doing so, justice did prevail. She did what... serveral “high powered” and experienced attorneys missed and did not do. Professional, Knowledgeable, and is all in for who she represents! I give my highest recommendation.

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.
