Arrogant and unprofessional

Hired Amy Walters for a custody case that she accepted. She later expressed it was no way I would win. What lawyer does that and why did she accept the case if she knew I couldn't win custody. She completely flipped and was very rude and arrogant. When I didnt go along with her recommendations she w...ithdrew as councel 2 weeks before the court hearing. I only wanted my case to be heard by the judge. I'm paying her so I don't have the right to make my own decisions? She also took half of my money and didnt do anything I couldn't have done myself. A complete nightmare! Shes a low down and dirty lawyer!

Awful attorney and now she’s also a judge

Amy is one of the worst attorneys I’ve ever done business with. She doesn’t stay in contact with her clients I never received one bill from her but she kept my entire retainer she requested I called her over 100 times on6 months sent her 87 emails I talked to her secretary she assured me she’s was ge...tting all of our messages we never seen it heard froM her again until we went to court after she told us she was on our side fir our granddaughter she testified to the judge differently I can only pray no one else uses her and I feel completely horrified for anyone appearing in front of her as a judge

Child Custody

This so called Attorney told me that my case would be fairly simple because my child was of age to choose where he wanted to live. During this process, I got a very well paid job working a few hours from home and she said that I needed to come home and do paper work. Thought it would be fairly easy. ...Well, this women refused to write any notice to for my job so I was then fired. She said that she would not excuse me from work even though she told me to come home. She then refused to have or child sign the affidavit forms because it wasn't her job. She refused to keep in contact with me. I would never recommend her to anyone. She is liar and a cheat.

Worst attorney in Columbus

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!

Does not return calls, takes consultation fee for advice but does not follow up

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.
