Truly God Sent!!

Amy Osteryoung is positively amazing. 4 months ago i was charged with two misdemeanor charges for possession of marijuana. i was using to hide the pain of my mother passing and it was a real problem for me. i was an addict. WAS an addict. Amy not only worked to handle my case and took care of everyth...ing legal, she pushed me to get into therapy to handle my addiction and problems so that i did not follow the path of my addict mother, whose addictions ultimately ended her life. every day during therapy and even now i have texted her, 4 months after my charges and i still text her multiple times each week just to let her know how i am because she actually cares about ME. Amy is not an attorney who wants to take her clients money, she is a person who truly wants to help the person overcome their personal problems. my therapist even said " i have seen many addicts in all sorts of legal situations with attorneys whose sole priority is to take their clients money away, they have no interest in actually healing the person. However, Amy Osteryoung is by far God sent, i have never experienced someone who so honestly and truly wants to help the being and their addictions that got them into trouble in the first place like her." Amy asks her clients to text her daily so that they can be constantly reminded that she is proud of them. whenever i was feeling down or on the verge of relapse i would text her and she was always quick to reply of "im so proud of how far you have come and i KNOW you can do this! " Honestly, Amy is God sent and is in the perfect profession, she is intelligent, trustworthy, and caring and i am so lucky to have had her handle my case. When i met her i was an addict, masking all of my internal problems. Now i am not an addict, and my life has changed so completely from where i was 4 months ago and it is ALL because of Amy. She knew exactly what i needed to get healthy and helped me through the process completely.

Mrs. Osteryoung was a pleasure to work with.

Mrs. Osteryoung is nothing short of an excellent attorney. She is very concerned about her clients and always had time to talk about your case. Unlike some attorneys I have dealt with, Mrs. Osteryoung is glad to hear from her clients anytime. The office staff greets you by name and is more than court...ius. My case was only a traffic citation, but I felt as if I was being treated like their most important client. Amy and her staff are very knowledgeable and dedicated. They were able to get my charge reduced to something that I would have never dreamed of!

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.
