Amy Carol Walters

My husband and I wasted $1500 for one consultation, a few emails, and one phone call. We ended up with an incredible attorney, but not until we wasted precious time and resources on Amy. To be frank, she is lazy and unmotivated at her job. She is exetremly bias about certain personal beliefs that clo...ud her work ethic and judgement with her own clients. She is nearly impossible to reach and completely unconcerned for her clients on any level. I have good reason to believe she toed the line ethically in my case and in time may chose to pursue that. For now, I implore anybody who is interested in hiring a divorce attorney to seek elsewhere. With the exception of a couple of big name clients, she has quite the reputation for being impossible to reach and a nasty attitude to boot. The firm she works for is excellent and it is beyond me why they haven't asked her to leave. I feel she in no way represents them well and hope they part ways in the near future. I strongly feel that if an attorney cannot separate their bias from a clients personal beliefs, they should recuse themselves and before they rob the client blind at that. In fact, it should have ended with the consultation and no fee. If you know you cannot fight for your client, do not take the few resources they have and waste their time. In fact, DO NOT TAKE THEIR CASE!

I hired Ms. Walters a few months ago. I was ready to file for divorce and wanted to have custody of my children. I paid a consultation fee at my first meeting ($150), but it ended up going toward my fee to hire her, so it wasn't like I paid anything extra. My husband tried to fight for full custody o...f our children and he tried to fight my request for alimony. I was more then thrilled with the outcome of my case! I got everything I asked for (children and alimony). Amy did an exceptional job at every meeting and court appearance!

I would not suggest Amy Walters. I've tried for 3 months to reach her, left various messages for her. She has never returned my call ONCE. I have a case with a jurisdiction issue in NY and even my lawyer in NY has tried reaching her. She never returned my lawyer's calls either. Extremely unprofession...al, and a bit surprising considering how small the community is down here.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND AMY WALTERS I hired Amy about a year ago. Amy handled my child custody matter. Amy show up to court unprepared. She did not stand up for me or my rights, when I left the court room that day I felt like I had been taken advantage of by my own lawyer. She talks a good talk but whe...n it comes down to showtime she does not stand up to her end of the bargain. Amy does not return phone calls or emails. She will take your money and due nothing in return for you but take advantage of you and your situation, so do yourself a favor find another lawyer!
