Attorney review and recommendation

Amy answered all of my questions and explained the legal process and what I could expect from my Court proceeding thoroughly and accurately. I was impressed with how she handled the questions posed to her by the Judge. In fact, the Judge even commented to me that I was fortunate to have such a good... attorney representing me. In summary, I would highly recommend Ms. Ritchey should anyone ask me for a recommendation in the future.

An excellent attorney in every way!

Ms. Ritchey is a credit to her profession. She is very fair, compassionate, and extremely legally sharp. She listens and she follows up. She goes the extra distance to completely satisfy any questions you may have. I would highly recommend her without any reservations whatsoever. She defended me in a... very stressful, complicated DUI case and put my mind mind at ease every step of the way.

Best in the Business

Amy and the staff at The Kessler Law Firm make you feel like part of the family as soon as you walk through the door. Facing a Felony Dui and 10 years loss of DL, I only went 2 weeks without a DL and then they won the case NOLLE PROSEQUI. This team is the best in the business. Thank You and Great job...!!

5 star Lawyer

Very, very accessible and helpful throughout my entire ordeal. Amy was able to help me beat my 3rd DUI that went all the way to trial. She always answered the phone and emails very quickly and treated me as you would a friend. I highly recommend this lawyer not only for service but for the results. ...Good job Amy I appreciate your hard work.

Helped us through a messy foreclosure

I hired Ms. Ritchey when my husband and I were approaching foreclosure and could no longer make the required payments on our home. We had tried to make arrangements with the banks over a period of 2 years when our income situation took a bad turn. She was able to make some sense of the situation and... help us understand our options and also to help us communicate with the bank (which is not easy when you are a frustrated homeowner). She was always calm, professional and prompt to respond. It's scary not knowing who you can trust, but with Amy Ritchey I never worried or doubted she was doing right by my family!

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.
