As stay at home Dad to my children for years asked Amy to file immediately, but Amy delayed, became a respondent, Amy ensured she met with opposing counsel (behind closed doors) and I lost access to joint marital accounts, a working vehicle, health and dental insurance, while Amy charged an unjustifi...able fees for her services with egregious errors. After re-entering the workforce and making monthly payments (as agreed), Amy placed a judgment on my home (higher amount than owed) as a favor for an endorsement of a prominent Judge’s political campaign. I called her, pointed out her gross incompetence and malpractice and settled the matter - If you’re going through a high conflict divorce, seek someone organized and ethical. Amy refused to address issues in a timely manner, and will take you for a “ride”. 15 months later, Amy reached out to my place of employment and requested services, which I would not service due to ethics/ conflict of interest.

I hired Amy to handle my divorce, after a long-term marriage, with children. My ex-wife chose not to hire a lawyer. It was important to me to have a guide and advocate whose humanity, care, and ethics coincided with mine. In time it became clear that Amy was not only a great lawyer, but a wise, car...ing, and good person. While she had my interests at heart, she ensured that the agreement I reached with my former spouse was fair and reasonable. Amy knows the law, with lots of experience, and she shared what I could expect and should consider in any of the scenarios that we talked through. She knows the process, and she made sure that I knew where I stood, what I could expect. I shared what was important to me, and we worked through the possibilities, and she let me decide what was going to be the best for me. She provided excellent advice, and guidance. I would recommend Amy to anyone.

My divorce had special issues at play as my ex has issues with multiple addictions. These issues impacted our finances and children in significant ways. Amy represented me through our collaborative divorce. I can’t say enough good things about Amy’s knowledge and skills. She has a high moral compass ...that kept my focus on the big picture, despite the natural grief, anger, resentment and sadness that would pull me down. She does a great job of keeping things fair and balanced, logical and purposeful. She was direct and honest with me about likely outcomes – particularly when they wouldn’t be in my favor and then was creative about finding solutions. She was a God send for me and helped me land softly after what was a heart wrenching negotiation. I’m thrilled with our outcomes. And I’m happier, healthier and more whole as a human being than I have been in years. Thank you Amy for helping to get me here!

Ms. Shapiro is professional, readily demonstrates the applicability of her experience to a variety of challenges (including anticipated challenges), and has worked very hard to accommodate a variety of needs that arose in my case. She is decisive and firm, though able to contextualize decisions with...in a framework of longer-term goals, which in my case were continued communication and skills related to co-parenting.
