Amy Ochoa Carson

I do not leave reviews. Ever. Its not something I do. So for me to take the time out to leave this review should be a testimony to exactly how highly I think of Amy as an attorney and a person. I hired Amy after multiple recommendations from friends after I had 2 other attorneys (my first attorne...y did not return to work after going on maternity leave and then my second one moved away....both were good attorneys). But after the second left I heeded my friends advice and I decided to move practices and hire Amy. So she's my third family attorney...this is important because please take this review as someone with (unfortunately) some level of experience with having a family attorney. Also, Amy has been my attorney for over 2 years now.... so this is not a review written with only a couple weeks of history behind it. In over 2 years, Amy has been nothing short of great in all aspects. In retrospect, she has outperformed in every facet the other two attorneys and I cringe to think were I would be if I had not switched. Amy is head and shoulders above the rest (and my other two were both highly reviewed). She was always timely in making meetings, made time for me when I needed it, responded timely to question and emergencies and advised me what she believed would be the best course of action. I can tell you in my own case things did not always go the way we hoped, but Amy was always consistent and gave me the best possible chance we had. If things did not go our way it definitely was not due to my representation. There were often times she would bring up details of my case and connections and views that helped us that I myself had missed. It find it is rare for an attorney to care enough to go beyond what you tell them and make connections and correlations on their own. In my experience that is what differentiates a good attorney from a great one, and Amy is the best. Her goal is to not have you pay her and run up your bills, but to be there when you need her, and hope you don't ever need her! When I have needed her, she's been responsive, takes the time to explain her rationale and thinking behind things, is always conscience of how she spends her time to maximize my money, and is always completely honest about the possible outcomes and scenario's of what was in front of us even when they weren't what you want to hear. Those are all signs of a great (not good...but great) attorney. If you need a family attorney, and you want to give yourself the best possible representation and you want someone that you will feel will actually care about you and your case...there is no higher recommendation I could possibly make than Amy.

Amy is amazing at what she does, and an even better person, if that is even possible. From the moment I met with Amy, she had nothing but my best interest at heart. During our initial consultation, when I explained the nature of my case, she discussed and thoroughly explained all of my options. Anyth...ing I did not initially understand, she went over again to help alleviate my confusion. I truly believe that Amy, in all of her focus, goals and efforts, saved my family. I am so thankful for her, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking extraordinary representation.
