Divorce

(01/22) Amy O. Carson represented me in my divorce. She was very thorough and articulated well-prepared arguments defending my interests. I found her to be respectful and patient when she had to educate me on realistic expectations under difficult circumstances. I had some very unique challeng...es, but she remained interested in helping me achieve my personal goals and was fully invested in the best possible outcome. I felt she maintained perspective and never set me up with false hope, which is important in the unpredictable environment of divorce. More importantly she kept me focused and my eye towards the end goal. In the end I realize this is the most important trait in a divorce attorney. Now, successfully divorced. Amy is a pure professional she guided me through the most difficult process one can go through. She advised me on all topics every step of the way. She never rushed me and always took time to explain things to me. Amy and her team committed their talent and expertise to safeguard my future and of course I highly recommend them.

Caring and is straight up

Back in 1/2018 I in a hunt of a God sent lawyer. I prayed and called all over Indiana And prayed some more. When I was about to give up I came across Amy by searching in the internet after a long heartfelt prayer. I had a consult over the phone with her and one of the things that I really liked about... her eight away was that she was straight up with me about my case and she was very understanding. Working with her and her staff was a great experience and she never gave me any false hope. Amy and her staff is very professional and got things done on a timely manner. After what was I thought was the worse situation ever at the end I realized that it was all in his well to have me go through what I did and to come across such a caring person to defend me. Thank you for all you help and support!

Impressed

Amy came recommended from a personal friend and I can see why. Amy was punctual, professional and very thorough. At a time when life was chaotic, she helped me navigate unfamiliar territory.

Knowledgeable, organized & personable

Amy holds herself to a very professional standard, as reflected in her written & verbal communication, her planning & responsiveness to sometimes multiple correspondence. She is on it - and knows her stuff. Amy eased my fears & doubts about the litigation process, knowing I had her in my corner. Phen...omenal. And her paralegal, Morgan, is a huge help to the process!! Great team.

Amazing Attorney who Cares...Literally the Best.

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.
