In addition to her expertise in family law and family divorce law, Amy has expanded her knowledge through the AAML to include high profile client contested divorce cases, valuing interests in private equity investments, intricacies of executive compensation and even pet custody.

Currently, she serves as Immediate past-president of the Ohio chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Previously, she served as the organization’s president and vice president.

Was the aggressive lawyer that we needed.
We hired Amy 17 yrs ago for a custody case that was held in Knox County. She was compassionate about our daughter but was a bull dog when it came to dealing with the opposition. She acquired custody for us & was great to work with. I highly recommend Amy!
