She really stood by us

Mrs. Walters is wonderful attorney. My situation was rather unique but she put my children's needs above everything and helped me insure they have a better life moving forward. I would definitely recommend her!

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

Very Satisfied Client

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!

Unprofessional and waste of Money

I hired Amy Walters to represent me in a family law case. She came to court unprepared. Did not allow me to rebut anything that was said by the other party. Nor did she present the evidence that I had given her which would have shut the other party down, Instead she froze in court and started rea...ding out of a law manual instead of presenting the evidence that she had in her possession. The judge shut her down. Her lack of preparation cost me my case. To make matters WORST after the hearing I called her office several times. She refused to return my calls so I began emailing her. Finaly she agreed to a meeting. She stood me up. She did not show nor call. I scheduled another meeting with her and again she did not show. She has no integrity and no professional ethics. In addition, she talked with the other party and his attorney MORE than she talked with me. She also did not disclose that she and the other party's attorney worked togehter recently in the sames office. Ironicaly, she was his intern or something.

Unprofessional

Prepaid for services, however, attorney did not appear at either hearing. Solicitor dismissed case. Awaiting refund.

  • 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.
